Any of you niche-less techies read horror novels?

I've had very little luck generating traffic through blog carnivals, but yesterday, out of genuine interest, I signed up for the RIP II (http://www.stainlesssteeldroppings.com/?p=745) reading challenge, and I've already gotten some hits out of it.

I was wondering two things:

1. The question in the title of this thread, albeit applied to even the niched AND the non-techie.

and

2. See here for the question about carnivals, challenges, etc (http://www.theblogexperiment.com/blog-forum/showthread.php?p=4975#post4975).

Oh this should be two thread questions definitely. What would you consider a horror novel? I read a lot of books about serial killers. I don't know if that classifies though.

[samwoodfin]

By MY definition, no. But by the RIP II guidelines (which basically include any kind of "scary" books), your serial killers would fit right in.

Crap. Do I need to delete it and make it two threads?

[ses5909]

Nope don't delete it. You can edit your post i think and remove the second part and then post a new one. I would do it for you but it's your question so you get credit!

You KNOW I'm lazy. Hope that'll do.

I used to. I have read a few horror novels but don't read too much any more. Well not novels anyway, most of my reading these days consists of Web Design books and Blogs.

I should get back into reading soon, it's nice to have that break from staring at my screen.
