Upon the introduction I thought for sure you would be talking about King's book 11/22/63, (which is one of his best stories IMO), but I'm glad you didn't because you turned me on to others I didn't know about, and I'm shocked that I didn't, especially Shirley Jackson's - I love her work and just can't believe I haven't even heard of The Haunting of Hill House. Must buy today! Is that run-on enough for you? ;) I am a sucker for ghost stories, mainly because I've encountered at least four, possibly more, in my life and oh, what a thrill! You'd think that would inspire me to produce more paranormal work, and I have done some but not nearly enough. Maybe it's time to pick up Dance Macabre and get to work. Thanks for another great post Victoria! First I must agree – this is a fatastically inspiring post!

Terry, That is a rich analysis of King's book with helpful and enlightening info. I think I saw the Hill House movie quite a while back, but I have not read the novel, and I will now. I should be studying writing that good. I'll be getting a copy of Danse Macabre too. In that general horror category, I've been re-watching episodes of the TV series "Poltergeist the Legacy" which I enjoyed a lot way back when. Ever seen that? Good writing and special effects. "With that in mind, I’m considering how best to use those days–and I am writing." me too! Excellent post, M. Terry,

I enjoyed Northanger Abbey, and Susan Hill's The Woman in Black is possibly my favourite; I can't wait to read more of her writing. I'd never heard of Ann Radcliffe, so thanks for mentioning that. I must read Danse Macabre: I work part time as a cleaner and the office I clean (an old Victorian house) was once a nursing home and is supposed to be haunted. It's now a fostering agency. I'm filling in all the gaps and writing a novella about it. Fun stuff. :) I’m a fraidy cat and love ghost stories, too.

I always feel that King makes us believe in things that do not exist, like vampires, werewolves, and other abnormal things, etc., and I always read King with all the lights on. He's also my favorite when it comes to humor in horror. I think I get part of my sick sense of humor from having read him. I have not read DANSE MACABRE in years…I need to get another copy.
