So, I've been reading this supposed collection of the best horror stories like, ever and I'm pretty disappointed so far. It's called The Dark Descent, and it has a few good Stephen King stories and a couple Lovecraft ones that I've already read and re-read so that they're not scary to me anymore, and then a bunch of other stuff. It's ironic, because the introduction quotes Stephen King as saying that, with horror, he tried to first terrify, then, if he can't do that, horrify, then, if he can't do that, repulse. I checked the book out hoping to be terrified, but I honestly haven't felt any of those three reactions yet. The one King story I read so far wasn't horror, but more of a love story involving ghosts. The Lovecraft would have been terrifying, or at least really interesting, if it had been the first time I'd read it.

If anyone of a literary mind knows of a book that is actually terrifying (preferably paranormal) please let me know. I wanted to get into the Halloween spirit but I think I may have run out of time.
It's kind of weird how I can't really find anything to scare me anymore.

Also, I have most of a Halloween costume that I basically got primarily to post pictures of myself in online. Since I don't really know anyone up here, there's no one who will really appreciate it except Ashley. I'll reveal it on Halloween.
