Dude. Wax loves "Firestarter" too. My fic "Driven Like" had subtle references to it, and she emailed me all: Firestarter! Firestarter! He's pushing!
::shrugs:: I first read "It" when I was in sixth grade and it took me a month. *giggles* I was so in love with that book, and I think it influenced me some. I know that "Firestarter" did. I'm, like, obsessed with that scarred!creepy!Native American guy of whose name I don't remember. He was oddly seductive and fascinating. That book had a lot of quiet horror. Those poor burned chickens! and. oh fuck. ::shudders:: the tranquilizer in her throat and the snow..... ::shudders:: I have so many images in my head from that book. My copy of it is worn thin -- probobly read it about 11 times.
I can't stand anything he's written for a long time, and think it's pretty much all crap, but some of the old skool books I love. I grew up reading him -- all through sixth grade and junior high and ninth grade.
but. er. yes. Pretty much my favorite genre is horror. I don't read much of anything else, other than homoerotic literature and then a few quirky authors like Vonnegut and Oscar Wilde and Kundera. hehehe...
