Having just started a new job, I have a new batch of co-workers and the topic of reading came up in conversation. The one person(out of nine) who reads mentioned she enjoyed King and Koontz so I casually asked if she knew F. Paul, she didn't Sad . I decided to correct that deficiency with The Keep. She started it right away and yesterday informed me that she wasn't sure she could continue because it was scaring her so badly. I convinced her to keep going, though.

Thought it might provide a smile for FPW.

Honestly, I think The Keep is one of the scariest books I've ever read. :eek:

How many vikings does it take to change a light bulb?

None. The light from the burning monastery is more than sufficient.


May the Norse be with you.

well I can say that it didn't "scare" me in the traditional sense. But I did get many a shiver from the detail of the murder scenes. I can just picture and feel what it would be like...very creepy stuff

I guess I'm just strange, I have yet to be scared by a book and since I was about 12 I have yet to be scared by a movie, although people will argue with that since I jump at some parts because of the loud noises. I hate that, it's really quite and then BOOM! I think it's becuase my imagination is about 10 times worse than anything I've ever read or seen.

My wife and I went to Conn. to a B&B right after I finished The Keep. There was a room that was all brick. There was a wooden sign above the doorway to the room. It was labled The KEEPING ROOM!!!. It scared the heck out of me.

I'd say that's a =fine= tribute to Paul's fictioneering! (Assuming she was being honest, of course. She might have meant, "This book is boring the living life out of me, but I don't want to insult my new friend.")

I don't know about that scenario, bluesman.....I stumbled across the Keep years ago at the library. I hadn't yet read any FPW and I was intrigued by the Nazi symbolism ( I have a HUGE fascination with WW2).

Well, to sum up, I was hooked on the man from that day on. I read everything the library had and then started my own library with anything and everything that I could find.

I have never looked back...lol

I just suggested it as a possibility, redheadmargo. And you're certainly not alone in your WW2 interest. I think of the 1914-1918 as the start of Europe's self-immolation. A breather...then 1939-1945 finished the job. After the Reich's surrender, who was left on their feet with a hard punch left to throw? Stalin's USSR and the Good Old USA. The Grim Empire proved a hard nut to crack, but they cracked at last. "Internal contradictions," as a Marxist might say.Wink

And don't ever look back.

A rakosh might be gaining on you.:p

I don't think it is the case in her situation, she seemed to be legitimately horrified and drawn to it simultaneously.
