The best kind of novels are the ones that capture readers. Love stories don’t do this, or at least not as well as others. The outcome is more or less the same: Boy looses girl, boy finds other girl, they date, break up, and get back together. Hooray. Horror novels, however are the pinnacle of excitement. With movies you know the scary guy is coming, but you don’t know when, but when it’s in a book, you don’t know anything. Stephen King is the pinnacle of this effect. You may be asking to yourself, “But incrediblydisgruntled, I thought you only write about bad things.” First of all, stop talking to yourself, it’s creeping everyone out. Secondly, I just want to talk about this, okay? If you have such a strong opinion about it, make your own blog and break the rules. Now, where was I? Oh yeah, Stephen King. The best books in my opinion are by him, but exceptions do exist. If you have a choice between a Stephen King book with blood and gore and insane maniacs and one with a gripping love theme which (duh) leads to blood and gore and insane maniacs, go with the first choice and skip all that lovey-dovey stuff. The most famous of Stephen’s books are also the best and most entertaining. Cujo, It, ‘Salem’s Lot, these are great books of horror and death. If you want something truly terrifying that will shake you to the core, by all means get Pet Semetary. Not to spoil the story, a family moves to the country with a kindly old neighbor, even though there is a path in their backyard leading to a pet cemetery, cutely named a Pet Semetary. When the family cat dies, the father and the neighbor secretly take it and bury it in the far reaches of the Semetary. Then, much to the father’s horror, the cat revives, if not a little slow-witted. Hilarity ensues. But, now that I’ve realized it, every famous and well-known person will die, and we will have to move on. If Regis dies, it becomes the Random Host and Kelly Show. When Michael Jackson dies, who will replace his disturbing appearance and tendancy to dangle his child off an balcony? If Brittany Spears dies, KFC will go bankrupt! Think of what will happen when Stephen King, master of horror novels, dies? Well, we could just take him over to the abandoned cemetery and……no, that would end badly.
