One can hide in one's room and shriek into one's pillow! No need to show off any more how "brave" one is by reading/looking at macabre stuff... :D Yeah, that’s the amazing thing about adulthood!

The worst part is that people around me seem to love it and I've been subjected to a lot of horror movies in the recent past. As for books, I get far more freedom in choosing what to read, and more importantly, even if I do hide my face in the pillow while reading, no one will ever know! :grin: I hate horror in any form, audio, video or print.

But you're right, I wonder too if the scary stuff is more popular with kids these days -- just witness the inordinate amount of books and merchandise of the horror genre available for them. And I actually came across creepy, monster tales collections for preschoolers. :shock: Hi Karen, good to see you here. :)

Those books would not have been my pick as a child...but I think children today are more immune to scary stuff, what do you think? as a child I used to spook really easily…I still spook a little and close my eyes in the real scary parts when watching a horror movie.

Sorry I tricked you and made you cry! @Vinod: Aren't you in the US now?

But it is rather fun to make others read scary stuff and then tease them for being afraid. If Niklas has been as clever as Payal, he would have had a blog too and tricked people into reading scary stuff, saying it was healthy and good, and then tease them when they cry in the comments.
