Ok, so I read a selection of Dan Simmons work because Treacher recommended it. Oooh, I don't remember, does he want the www there or not? Let me know.
So now I read A Winter Haunting by the same author. Good book. It had me so creeped out I had to start on my Elmore Leonard book one night when it was feeling particurally creepy and I thought there were people in my house. I grabbed the gun, went looking, and found my cat. But like I said, I had to switch subjects when I got back to bed and couldn't sleep. Now I understand what it takes to creep Stephen King out.
It's the story of a college professor who moves into the house of a friend that was killed in his childhood. Soon he is haunted by roaming black dogs and neo-nazis that are angry about his involvement in a series of newspaper articles about militia members. This isn't like Andrew Sullivan's obsession with Howell Raines, either. Resignation isn't an option.
Anyway, I highly recommend this one.
