Backlog of Books
We returned from our play date with our friend's twins on Saturday afternoon, and sitting atop the mailbox was a thick hard envelope from St. Martin's Press with another book for me to read and review. This time, it's The Birthing House from Christopher Ransom -- yet another spooky haunted house novel. (The folks at St. Martin's really seem to know what I like.) I started reading it last night and am slowly getting into it. Yet, I can't help but feel guilty about all the books I've recently finished and haven't found the time to write my reviews. So I'll knock those out of the way beginning tonight so I can be all fresh and guilt-free for this new tale of terror.

I love books about haunted houses, although they scare me (and I sometimes have to even sleep with the lights on).
I have lots of blog posts back-logged too.... Oy!
The Birthing House... There isn't anything scarier than birth.... you squeeze out a living thing that was inside your body and then the afterbirth.... gross. That is a horror. Is that the gist of it?
but does it give you the creeps when you read it?
That is the ultimate test for a good ghost story - the sense of the uncanny that evokes the willies.
