I like horror :) My favorites are Poe, Blackwood, Stoker, Lovecraft, and King; I've read a lot of other stuff as well. I also like horror movies--have been helping a friend of mine write a book on that.
Does "AU" stand for "Alternative Universe"? I've heard about some alternative history books that sounded interesting, though I haven't read any yet--my friend was telling me about one premised on the South winning the Civil War, and I think he said the same author has written some other stuff. What are some good ones in that genre?
