"3.5 stars. I did a half assed blurb read and didn't even notice that it's sci-fi so that was an unexpected turn for me. Thankfully I like science fiction and it was well blended into this suspenseful story.
Some parts felt slower but overall it had a" Read more of this review » |

“Hon, most people are afraid of what they don’t understand, so they think if they can discount it in some way, make the world believe it’s a joke – a hoax – then they won’t have to acknowledge it, won’t have to deal with what frightens them most.”

“No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.”

Hi, Greg! Thanks for the friend request! It's nice to meet you!! : )
Greg wrote: So what do you like to read? ..."I am an escapist wimp; admitted so discussing 'Adoption'. I like happy fantasy, maybe where the hero has a life-changing adventure by meeting a talking cat; or at least some quest where the swords shine the brighter for the dark hosts ahead.
Pretty much what I like to write.
Modern fantasy is 'grim-dark'; I'm twenty years past the 'best used by' date.
I come not to bury Greg, but praise him. His bones, sinews, the hairs on his head and the damned fine and kindly words that echo forth across the white fog of the internet to provide comfort to the literary traveler by night.The evil that men do gets posted on the internet; but too often the good is buried as some comment or review slipped into quiet oblivion.
Let then this be said to gods and men: Greg's really, really owed a 'thanks'.
See it be so.
I've always loved Hitchcock. That man knew how to build suspense. I haven't read C.S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength, but now I'm intrigued. I will add it to my list. So what do you like to read? What genre? I'm really enjoying your writing style, Raymond. Do I call you Raymond? Or Mr. Elmo (reminds me of Sesame Street lol) Or something altogether different?
(continuation of discussion of The Stand)As a kid I loved Alfred Hitchcock's short-story collections. Lots of great writers contributed; Roald Dahl wrote some REALLY creepy stories.
But the book that most reminds me of The Stand (original, not the extended) is C. S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength.
It is a mess plot-wise, and I don't buy the theology; but it depicts a background struggle of Good and Evil equal to Flagg vs the Old Lady.
