I'm currently re-reading Stephen King's magnum opus "IT"
Unusually for me it has really gotten under my skin. Normally I can read horror without a problem but this time around I'm having really vivid dreams - balloons and evil clowns featuring heavily LOL.

This image kept popping up in my minds eye so I had to exorcise it ;)

Was attracted by the idea of representing the book with as few visual cues as possible, probably went overboard with the text, but I'm happy with it.

Ooh, I like it. Very minimalist, which is nice considering how ephemeral the villain in the story is. Might give Dean Koontz's "Phantoms" a read, if you can tolerate a book about half as long as "IT." I won't say "IT" was a blatant rip, but it's obvious that King took a lot of the elements for his book from Phantoms. That said, IT is a much better read and I'd recommend it before Phantoms regardless of who wrote what first.

Thanks :)

I must admit I've never really gotten on well with Koontz. Apart from "Watchers", "The Bad Place" and "Dark Rivers of the Heart" which I really enjoyed, I find him a little of a chore to read. Having said that I'll definitely give "Phantoms" a go.

Well, I'll admit his writing leaves something to be desired. A lot of clumsy sentence structure and weird, Mary-Sue like characters.
