Horror scares me too much, but I have read some by Stephen King. Thanks for sharing, and enjoy! Thanks for visiting my blog.
This one is definitely not for me. I’m way too suggestible to be able to handle horror. Come see what Grave Visions by Kalayna Price has to offer. Happy reading!
Horror stories frighten me. I read a few Stephen King and Peter Staub books when I was younger, but not anymore.
You are terrifying me! I do enjoy the Stephen King movies, but I guess that is because I can look away when it gets scary. I hope that you enjoy this one! 🙂
I liked tis collection. Mine has a different cover on it though.
My Friday 56 from Ararat
