Books & Authors - January 2007

I have to read a horror novel for one of my classes and I don't know many. If anyone could offer some suggestions for an entertaining, but somewhat easy-to-read, horror novel, I'd really appreciate it. When I say easy-to-read, I mean high-school reading level. (My teacher isn't too worried about it being "school appropriate" so that aspect isn't an issue.) Thanks.

The darkness creeps closer and closer.

Shielding the lambs from the light.

It whispers to them the lullaby

Hush little lambs, do not fear.
I am here young lamb to protect you, you see.

The light shows things you should not see.

It reveals the souls filled with pain.

Pain that should be hidden away.

Pain that wishes to scar your poor young mind.

To steal the innocence that is held so dear.

So listen little lambs and you will learn…

Run from the light and go to the safety of the night.

It was on a storytellers website. They put my name on it for awhile and then all of the sudden my name vanished and the owner of the websites appeared as if they wrote it themselves. What can I do?

I'm writing a fantasy novel, so far about half a chapter or so, about 3000 words so far.
I'm using the present tense. Will this cause any problems or are there any difficulties in using the present tense over the past tense? Is it advisable to go straight into the action and then introduce the concept in chapter two or should it be done at the start?
Approximately how many words should a chapter be and how many words should your first book be? Also general tips on writing a fantasy novel is always appreciated. Thank you very much

I have posted this question twice, but still do not have the correct answer. I am looking for a book that I read as a teenager that involved a brother and sister team who learned how to astral travel while sitting under a large tree and eventually learn how to travel as souls...this is NOT any of the Wrinkle in Time series by Madeleyn L'Engle, however, it is very similar. Any ideas?

Have you ever thought of how Any Rand's novels come to play in real life? For example, I think "Rush Limbaugh" the radio show host to be "Hank Reardon" (not sure about the spelling), the guy who owns the newspaper along with a whole bunch of other stuff. Anyways, whom do you think in real life replicate Howard Roak and Dominic?

Food for thought. Take the questions seriously or lightly, I would like your insights.

I have always loved books and reading, and have read classics such as Animal Farm to books such as Harry Potter and loved them. And then I read Jane Eyre. Don't get me wrong, I liked certain parts, but it just seems overrated to me. Compared to books such as Narnia, I don't think it measures up. So I was just wondering if you liked the book, what made you like it? Why is it such a huge literary classic today?

Does anyone not agree with the books Oprah selects? Every book I have read that she recommended … well, sucked to be honest. Ugh, "The Pilot's Wife" was the worst story ever! Anyone have similar experience?

For HP fans. My theory is that R.A.B. is Andromeda Black.... we don't now her first name, so its likely she could prefer to use her middle name. Her daughter prefers to use her last name, Tonks, rather than her first name, Nymphadora.
Any thoughts?
