It never occurred to me that reading horror novels for months straight would effect my thoughts so I can only fall asleep after being awake for 20 odd hours so that my eyelids are so heavy that I begin to worry that they will get stuck together and I will never be able to open my eyes and...
Yeah, concept of fear. Stupid idea.
Still, I do manage to sleep. I no longer dream. I'm trapped inside a nightmare than I can't seem to escape and it's no fun.
Yet I continue to read every Stephen King, craving the endings of the stories but finding no refuge in the lack of 'happily ever after.'
Currently reading Bare Bones Conversations on Terror with Stephen King and he has just come up with a gem.'America has developed this sort of cannibalistic cult of celebrity.'
Not much to do with fear, thankfully, but it rings true in the world we live in and this interview was held in 1980!
I'm trying to build up my tolerance for Pet Semetary supposedly the novel that King didn't want to publish.
Wish me luck.
