The Hunting/Gathering Skills of Pagan Man are the stuff of Legends... Given a finely honed Battle Axe and a damn good Engine Of Search, http://www.bigdaddypays.com/peaceful I can track down and bring a person anything they could ever want... in record time, if necessary. It's Ancient Skills combined with Modern Tech and a Resourceful (Sorcerer's) Attitude that makes all the difference... Now when I get rid of this mysterious headache (?), I going to go out and kill my lunch... it's a dang good thing I'm in great shape or I'd starve! LOL! :)

The last really good ghost story I read was called Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill(Who is Stephen King's son, by the way). It is about an aging rock legend with a passion for macabre items. He can't resist buying a ghost on the internet. I can't tell you any more without spoiling it, but trust me, it is a good one.

A lot of Stephen King and Dean Koontz are very scary and very good. Check them out:-)

Try reading Dean Koontz books. I went to him after Stephen King. You could try googling about ghost stories and that might send you in a particular authors direction. Reading is grand and I hope you find the book that you are looking for.

Thanks- I have gotten away from it because there are so many shows on tv I have been keeping up with this year- but now that they are all over for the season- I need to keep my mind busy. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi shambuca, hope you are well. I agree with your other responders most Stephen King and Dean Koontz are pretty good books. The last book I read was Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, It was the last in his four books that I've read and although I love ghost stories and stuff like that, I would thoroughly recommend his books as he is an excellent auther some of his other works are The Da Vinci Code, Deception Point and Digital Fortress, the two latter books are earlier products of his work but still pretty good, The Da Vinci Code, if you haven't already read it, is phenomenal and way way better than the film. Definately a good read and one I'd recommend!

this is not so much a scary book but it is one hell of a good read it is stephen king the green mile. also made into a award winning film. a real good read if you do not find a ghost book look this one up.
