I just picked up Diary the other day. Have yet to read it but I hear its fantastic! Any other recommendations?

I walked to the library with my friend the other day and I picked up "Haunted" along with a couple of other books. I've read the first three stories and it's by far one of the most disturbing books I've ever read. I love it!

You might find this interesting, then. There is mention of it on another board, so I don't think I'm allowed to link it, but this is just in the Wiki entry:

I don't know if the Jessica Biel thing is a joke or not.

His writing IS pretty offensive, but in a jolting, rock-your-world kind of way - kind of like a really scary roller coaster, in the sense that when you get on it, you know it might make you sick, but leaves you exhilarated when the ride is over. You'll either love it or throw the book down and run screaming from it.

The way you describe his writing is spot-on, AJane.

Oh God, I hope Stephen Colbert wrote that entry. I do not want Jessica Biel ruining one of my fave Chucky P. novels of all time. I saw her recently in The Illusionist, and while she did an okay job in that film, I still don't think she has the chops to pull off the roles of Shannon and Brandy from Invisible Monsters.

When I first read that novel years ago, I'd pictured Angelina Jolie in that role, though I don't know if by now she's considered too old for the part.

I'm excited to hear about the new novel!

Has anyone picked up Rant yet? I need a review before I spring for it.
