i'm in the middle of reading one called  Nightshade by John Saul (2000) a favorite author of mine and man is this a really weird one and Saul has done some pretty weird Sh*t so that's saying something. the man likes to say he's not horror and he doesn't get why in bookstores he's listed as horror but than there's a scene in this book no joke where the big bad took someone's skin off their hands and than wore them like a glove to smack the f... out of someone  now if that isn't horror i dunno what is.

well i finished it early this morning and wow was it a f... up one but also a really good one too, a reviewer tried to describe it and he had a hard time doing so and i really get why to be honest. at one point in the book you had a kid's stepfather get shot and and he blacks out near the end of the book i mean like really about 95% close to the end or so we find out he had help but the one person who helped him do it cause he was aiming for a deer well we find out he he was forced to kill his stepfather and his arguement was that it never was brought up at all in the book and i can see why he would think that be an issue,


but if you decide to read this book you can also see why it was never brought up at least in my eyes anyways. i'd say 8/10

I just finished reading an interesting adaption of Phantom of the Opera. 

This version actually fix one of the major problems I had had with other adaptions of the story. 



Other versions didn't have nearly enough Muppets.
