Short stories.

I have heard of creepypasta before but never actually looked it up. I discovered what I know about it in a thread about a character called "the slender man", creepy stuff! Have you heard of Marble Hornets? It is a very interesting and creepy series of videos on Youtube. I like that they only have so many pages to get to the point and manage to cut to my core. It really helps cut back on the descriptive, page filling garbage. "She slowly, subtly, glided across the carpet with the grace of a cat. She became ethereal through her continuous movement. When she reached the door she took careful note of the totally irrelevant details that I am about to describe. The floor...." Gimmie' a break already! lol I got kids man, I want to read this book not accomplish it! Thanks for the the suggestion, you have inspired me to actually check it out =)

My pleasure! Just make sure you read them with your lights off in the middle of the night. It maximizes their potential.

Some I've read that I've enjoyed are Metamorphosis and Family Happiness.

Right, I like that they are quicker to read as well. =) Older stories huh? Do you have any suggestions? Thank you for participating =)

Sherlock Holmes...I had forgotten. When I was younger, there was a TV show called Joe Bob Brigg's Monster Vision. Joe Bob would host horror movies, both obscure and mainstream, and make comments before returning to the movies from the commercial breaks. One night I watched a movie called HP Lovecraft's From Beyond. The movie was astounding. I have never been able to find that movie since and HP Lovecraft's other books and movies are...boring, in my opinion. He is praised for his "literary genius" but I think there is too much hype. I would still LOVE to see or own that movie again. I really need to read The Mist. That is basically all I have to say about that lol. I have never been too big a fan of Alfred Hitchcock but I think he deserves a second chance. It is just that, when I go to the library, I already have a dozen ideas of books I want to look for =p Isaac Asimov has always sounded very interesting but no one has directly recommended him to me. I think I may try his stuff next. I was recently told I should look for some Neil Gaiman as well. Wow, blah! heheh. Anyways, thank you for your very considerate response. It has helped reignite some old interests. =)

wow, really? I am the polar opposite. I think feature length novels drag on too long. Too many pages to describe things my imagination can create with just a couple words. Maybe it is because of our personal experiences with the novels we have read...

Try "The Bachman Books". Richard Bachman was an early pen name of Stephen King.
