You know, you're just like me. Never been scared by something in print. In
fact, the only time I get scared is when I'm watching a horror movie, and
all of a sudden, someone just jumps out of nowhere. The worst I was ever
scared was in one of the opening scenes of Aliens where the aliens jump out
and start to slaughter the marines. But, I think that the best King book
I've read is The Stand(there, now I'm back on topic).
