| If you like sci-fi comedy, I highly recommend any Terry Pratchett novel, also Neil Gaiman is an excellent author.

| I would have to say im drawn more towards horror novels like House of Leaves. Other types have never really interested me much.

| I think you misunderstood me, i wasn't saying i like horror. I was saying i like horror like house of leaves. Its a very low key kind of horror, it starts off with a room being larger then the outside dimensions and the next big thing is a closet (if i remember right) appearing out of no where after a family trip. As you can imagine the closet one came with a few laughs with jokes about psychotic contractors along with a creepy feeling. Then it starts to take it up a few notches but always with those subtle kind of scares. Its rarely outright in your face stuff (if ever).

| Another really good author is Peter Straub..I recommend Ghost Story, Shadowland and one of the books he co-wrote with Stephen King, The Talisman. Also, American Gods by Neil Gaiman is very excellent. Read more about Gaiman here: http://www.neilgaiman.com/index.asp
