movies/books about demonic possession or the anti christ have always creeped me out more than others, The Omen is one of my favorite movies ever.

I can't stand to read sad and disturbing books, it upsets me even if it is just a story. If it's a true story like, 'Today I'm Alice' it just gets to me even more.

I'm going to start to read some Edgar Allen Poe later today.

That should cheer you up!

I don't find Edgar Allen Poe that depressing especially compared with A Child Called It, Today I'm Alice and there's another one called Sybil or something like that. Now they are depressing becuase they're just all about child abuse and are written in a manner to shock people. Today I'm Alice has truely graphic passages of what her father did to her from the age of 2 onwards and I can't read it. He even raped her when she was in her 20s and confronted him about it. It's too much for me.

 

[Sneakiecat]

Slaughterhouse-Five

I'm not sold on it yet.

I don't like his stories, so creepy. there was one with a Heart in it, forgot what the title was, but it had something to do with a heart.....

 

[dkwrtw]

That would be "The Tell-Tale Heart"

 

[Jessica]

Yeah that just came to my mind a few minutes ago

 

[Jessica]

But poor Poe, so many deaths in his life

 

[Abcinthia]
