For those interested, it seems that Recordings from the House of Leaves can be listened to also by non-UK residents. Iirc the program will be available to listen to for 6 or 7 days.

Read "buckets" for a halloween-themed short story. |

Not books, but a couple of short stories that made an 'impression' on me.

I don't mind footnotes as such, but when they're huge ( A la Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell ) I find it hard to concentrate on them. I'll move it up my reading stack and give it a try soon. |

It's been 10 years since I've read it but I seem to remember the footnotes being as good or better than the main pages and that much of the plot moves forward in the footnotes.

Ihave to admitThe Amityville Horror is easily one of the scariest books I havve ever read. The fact that is supposed. To be a true story and also the fact that we have driven past the property numerous times makes it all the more eerie.

There were scenes in Stephen King's Bag of Bones and Lisey's Story that I still remember creeping me out.

I got the book from a charity shop when I was 18. It scared the heck out of me. I might even give it a re-read. I remember reading it in bed by candlelight, it made it even more atmospheric. |
