I just finished Risen and loved it. I hope to read all three of this month's selections before Seth calls me home. Last edited by WT Sharpe; 10-04-2010 at 09:46 PM. |

Poe is "psychological horror", Tom.
The "Dexter" books are thrillers. Serial killer/vigilante thrillers, to be exact. If they are horror, Stephen King's "Misery" is romance. |

But why was a book that's not horror allowed into the vote when the category is horror? Now we have a skewed vote because the Dexter book is not horror at all. It is a thriller as reculse said previously. All the votes for the Dexter book could possible have gone to the other losing book making it a winner. So really, all the votes for the Dexter book should be recast for one of the other books. I know it was said that if three people think it's horror, it is, but they were incorrect. So if three people wanted Gone With the Wind, would it be classed as horror also?

Now, wait a minute. She WAS, after all, his number one fan. How can you get more romantic than that?

Did we start discussing this somewhere yet? Did we even declare the winner? Unbelievable as I find this, it's October already!

This month's vote is like voting for President and finding out that the Independent candidate is a Canadian citizen and not eligible after all the vote have been cast.
