Better To Be Hated Than Loved For What You're Not.

Sister: "You know what's in the heart, don't you?"
Me: "Groove is in the heaaaaaaaaaaaaart."
Sister: "...I love this stupid family so much."

So one of my favorite writers on Cracked is David Wong, not his actual name for a lot of reasons. A while back, he wrote a book called John Dies at the End that the brother-in-law bought because it's horror

That book was really original and interesting. Have you read House of Leaves? Also awesome for the slow creeping horror.

[robanybody]

I have not! Who writes House of Leaves?

[nilchance]

Mark Z. Danielewski. His sister is Poe, she wrote this concept album based off House of Leaves, which is how I found out about it.

You know, I knew this when I read up on Poe a few months back, but my memory is apparently a terrible thing. Thank you for letting me know about this book! I love slow, creeping horror, so I'll try to pick it up this weekend.

OMG YES READ HOUSE OF LEAVES. I AM NOT NORMALLY A CAPSLOCK KIND OF PERSON BUT HOUSE OF LEAVES TOTALLY MERITS IT.

Hee! Okay, I'm sold. I'll try to pick it up either this weekend or next. There will be a report once I start reading it.

Yaaaay! I had to read it for class a few years' back and me and my girlfriends were all obsessed with it. We even mentally casted it, with Hugh Jackman and Famke Janssen in the lead roles. :D It is so great and creepy and mindboggling.
