    How have your reading tastes changed over time? When I was younger, I didn’t really enjoy reading anything horror related because I was afraid it would give me nightmares.

  • “Don’t Turn Out the Lights” by Jonathan Maberry

    Well, I finished reading this last night and I thought I’d share. This book is a collection of short stories written by different authors. Some of the authors I am familiar with and some I’m not but it was a good book to say the least. It kind of reminds me of the “Scary Tales…
