Of course, he also had Wisconsin roots (Derleth, that is). :-) I'll have to check out Sidon's book.

No physical abuse in my past, thank God, but other things to work through.<br />I'm sorry for what you went through. <br /><br /> I've always been fascinated by what motivates evil. <br />What I found interesting about Lovecraft was how his alien creatures had no humanity. Which is rare in how most horror writers approach a story. <br />And Shirley Jackson's Haunting of Hill House is the best. <br />You might want to check out Ann Rivers Sidon's The House Next Door. Scared the $#!+ out of me. <br />Teresa R.

Good for you!<br /><br />I read dark fiction (a lot of John Saul, Poe, King and Thomas Tyron) in my teen years because I was drawn to the creepy mysterious elements. I still am. Although I read across multiple genres from romances with HEA's and mystery/thrillers among others, I still love a good spooky read now and again. Night Gallery was one of my favorite shows as a kid. And I devoured FAMILY TRADITIONS. Anyone who hasn't read it yet is in for a treat!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213597929854074054.post-75836006110792429452012-12-14T04:44:43.625-08:002012-12-14T04:44:43.625-08:00Thank you for letting me stop by.
