No matter how hard I try, and no matter how long it goes on, I just can't get used to the president of the United States routinely promoting lies of the most imbecilic and easily disprovable nature (or in this case mistaking satire for reality).

With two months to go, I've got fourteen books left to finish in my accidental project to read all of Stephen King for the first time this year.
For Halloween, here's a first stab at a list of the ones I found scariest:
'Salem's Lot
Pet Sematary
The Mist (novella)
IT
Gerald's Game
