'The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956' by Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn.

I've read all the official written works produced by such authors as Chuck Palahniuk, Edward Lee, Will Eliot (appropos to 'The Pilo Family Circus'), Clive Barker & such; yet the scope of the "Real World" holocaust that is attributed to those in POWER is brought alive in this missive.

Yes, I do believe in Spiritually Malevolent beings who's objective is to subjugate the will and mind of Man(kind) so that they function as mere mindless sheep following the worlds latest caprice, which the previous authors allude to…
Yet I digress.

There are very real monsters overshadowing your world, your finances, your way of life (unless, of course, you are fashionably wealthy).

I just started reading Molly Ringwald's When It Happens To You. Something about the first story, "The Harvest Moon", filled me with dread. There were moments where I was actually physically jolted, and where I was hesitant about turning the page out of fear that something terrible was about to occur. The craziest thing about Ringwald's collection of stories is that it doesn't fall in the horror genre, and yet there's something terrifying lurking beneath the surface. I've only just begun, but it feels as if this book is a window into Molly Ringwald's psyche, and from what I've glimpsed so far, it's unsettling, to say the least.

Stephen had better watch out.
