Q @ Midnight Mass - gdthoms - 06-14-2004
Having just finished Midnight Mass I am curious as to whether FPW has any plans to continue on with this little saga.

I sure as hell hope so! That is one great book!

Nothing planned (but then I had no plans to continue Jack, either), but if I should come up with something that doesn't simply rehash what's gone before, I might give it a shot.

I just finished MM a few minutes ago. Excellent - on a par with McCammon's -They Thirst'.
I would love to read more stories from 'Bloodworld'!!
Paul - I think you've managed to raise the bar with this book. Previously, the most awful thing you'd written was the scene in Reprisal when Bill finds Danny. In MM the hunting and subsequent fate of the pregnant woman and her 7 year old son really upset me. It was even more unsettling that you didn't write about it and that you left me to fill in the blanks............thanks (I think) :p

That was bad, all right,but for me Paul's most disturbing scene was the torture/murder of the teenage girl in GATEWAYS. I think Paul invented a new crime there--enlisting the 8-year old boy to take part goes WAY beyond "corrupting a minor" or whatever the legal phrase might be.

I thought I'd answered this before but I guess I forgot to hit the SUBMIT button.
Sadly, that scene comes from real life. The victim was Sylvia Likens, in 1965. Google it if you dare.
No matter what imaginitive horror I come up with, it invariably pales before what people have done to each other down the ages.

Jack Ketchum's _The Girl Next Door_ is based on this story. It's a book that is so well-written and disturbing you can't put it down. Not recommended for the faint hearted.

Uh, did I mention I'm not a native Hoosier? But seriously, there are a lot of sickos out there. You should see some of the autopsy and crime scene photos I have!
