    I must say that I'm enjoying my trip down memory lane. It's been a long time since I : read a paper book and read Stephen King. Currently doing both and since 'Salem's Lot is an early work it's taking me back to a time when there were only paper books, no internet and no mobile phones. My copy even has light damage! 
     

    It's all about the sensory experience, in my humble opinion. I reckon that it'll make the scary bits even more scary.

    I think you're being a bit harsh on the members of my book group Kev!

    Which is putting it mildly. Everyone is entitled to their opinion - on this forum or off it - without being called names.

    Thanks to the friend who recommended A Witch in Time by Constance Sayers to me ("read this now!" is how she put it, and I did) and her fascination with vampires I thought that I'd read Salem's Lot by Stephen King for my next read in this category (quickly turning into my favourite so far). Not read King in a while and I remember the film, which looking back on it I was too young to watch, starring David Soul. My best friend at the time wanted to see it because of Soul and I'm pretty sure her parents would not allow her to watch it in their home - in those days there was no video recording or Sky TV, you had to sit and watch as it broadcast - and they were right, it scared the livin' daylights out of the both of us. Which did not stop us watching it again, I'm sure.

    I just wanted to point out that all of the Shauna Lawless Gael Series books fit into this category as does The Hounds of York by Arden Powell - there is a small amount of homosexuality in this should anybody need to know. Having read them before the category opened up I'll be choosing different books.

    That sounds interesting! I don’t know anything about those either but always found witch belief and persecution really interesting. I do think witch-related things count as folklore too 😄

    I parked that book as it contained old english which was difficult to decipher. I don't mind struggling usually couldn't be bothered a this time. I'll go back to it eventually.

    I haven’t started my first challenge read yet (I’m aiming to finish a book my sister lent to me, but finding it hard to get past the first bit! I may potentially give up on it, but I know there’s a something in it later which should appeal to me more!). When I do start this one, I think I’m going to go for Lud-in-the-Mist by Hope Mirrlees or Fearsome Fairies: Haunting Tales of the Fae (one of the British Library collections!). 

    I love the British Library series so will look this up.

     

    Currently reading a book my friend recommended ("Read this now!") A Witch in Time, Constance Sayers - so I'm glad that witches are included in this category!

    The Fallen Angel

     

    He lives in the greatest kingdom ever exists. 

    In your deepest dream you can only wish. 

     

    Made and shaped like an instrument of brass and gold. 

    Music flows like a rivers straight out of his soul

     

    He made sounds like a thousand ocean singing. 

    Crystal clear as a great bell ringing. 

     

    Greed and jealousy in the midst of his heart. 

    In time it will only confuse him and tear him apart. 

     

    His appearance was so beautiful and great. 

    This powerful angel represent pride,envy and hate. 

     

    He wanted to be the ruler of the heavens and all. 

    By God's law he was destined to fall. 

     

    Pride, jealousy and envy grew in the midst of his hearts. 

    God raise his hand and said, "From this kingdom you must depart." 

     

    Revenge and hate was on the angel's mind. 

    He swore to get back at God, to the end of time. 

     

    This feeling of pride  he couldn't take this feeling anymore. 

    God's will he plan to kill, steal and destroy. 

     

    Fallen angel brung down many children husbands and wives. 

    He destroyed many kingdom and family's lives. 

     

    He stands in the shadow of the light waiting patiently for his turn. 

    He waits to steal your soul and watch it burn. 

     

    So many people are being deceived, 

    putting faith in materialistic things and God they do not believe. 

     

    Please, don't be like the angel that thought he had it all

    Allowed pride jealousy and greed cause him to Fall!!

     

    I'm looking for the poet who wrote this. Does anybody have any suggestions as to where to look? The search engine wasn't useful
