Every day I have a 30 commute, so I have an hour of escapism, rather than listening to the radio which is alternatively bad music, bad chatter or bad adverts!
EDIT: I should point out that I drive - reading books whilst driving is frowned upon.
I'm one of those people who can happily watch the film first, because you get the impact of the visuals and sound and read the book afterwards. It's like watching an extended cut with even more world to explore.
I just think horror is a primarily visual genre, but happy to be proved wrong!
HOOOOOOOOLD THE BOOOOOOOK.
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD.
THE BOOOOOOOOOOK.

There are some good stories but some are a hard slog. I have been dipping in and out of a collection over the last year between books but got totally bored with a really long dream story that’s just a bunch of descriptions. I can’t remember the names of the ones I like but I think The Dunwich Horror was one of them, if it’s the one I think it is. I find with Lovecraft that often the shorter ones are the good ones. Or at least they are less of a commitment if they turn out to be poor.

Just finished White Butterfly , makes me wanna install Mafia 3*, deffo gonna be reading more Walter Mosley, he's great, dug out my old 10p movie tie-in copy of Devil In A Blue Dress, will read that after I've finished The Stainless Steel Rat , which I intend to start tonite if it goes quiet...tho it's a pivotal Leeds match so my place will likely be rammed with horrible, drunken, obnoxious casualties...and it shall be hell and I'm fookin dreading it if we lose, they'll be fighting in lumps in the pubs. Worst case scenario. Jesus H.
