Maybe that way it won't be as scary.<br /><br />Kerrie, now a peaceful mountain valley next to a gurgling river sounds very relaxing and the perfect thing to listen to before sleep.<br /><br />Kathi, hope you enjoy the book. It definitely sounds like a stay-awake-all-night book.<br /><br />Jane, I like the comparison.

Good to see ya.<br /><br />Charmaine, we do sometimes get hooked on that fear and it keeps driving us to find out what's one the next page.<br /><br />Jemi, I must admit I've never read The Shining, but I did enjoy the movie, especially the first one.<br /><br />Diane, the cover is very eye catching.<br /><br />Elizabeth, I hadn't thought of in that way but you're right. We feel a little scare, but know we're safe to continue.<br /><br />Margot, thanks for stopping by.<br /><br />Esme, I can read this type genre when I'm alone but just not at night. The loose fitting clothes would be a great motivation tool for me to ride a bike 36 miles. But with an audio book to listen to, I might try.<br /><br />Carol, that's the Catch 22 of it. If it's good, you can't read it and if it's not you don't want to.

The author's photos could almost be the photo of a serial killer-it is the black and white that does it.<br /><br />PS 36 miles was not that hard-having a new bicycle and being excited about it helps the cause. Also there is the motivation of having my clothes fit a little looser.Esmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01558695355351437784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-64728138537995938042010-05-03T08:24:26.742-04:002010-05-03T08:24:26.742-04:00Mason - Thanks for hosting James : ).

In movies, Alfred Hitchcock was a genius at that.
