I ate those little novels up as a high school student and I think it was his brand of horror/thriller that sparked in me an interest in writing. I went 20 years without reading any of his YA work, but came across some paperbacks in a used bookstore and I’ve been revisiting them and find them just as charming in a creepy sort of way as I did then. It’s worth mentioning that he also has some adult novels that are worth a read too.

I’ve been trying to get back to the YA books that made me enjoy reading, which are mainly Pike and Stine, and you are correct. Stine’s books, although aimed at teenagers like Pike’s just seemed so much younger then Pike’s work.

I love the Remember Me books. Fall Into Darkness, and a few others. Stay tuned because I’m planning on reading & reviewing the 20 + I have of Pike’s books, and the 50+ I have of R. L. Stine’s Fear Street books.

I loved his horror books growing up. Always much better then R.L. Stine I thought as Pike is always a little more adult and risque. I was wondering if his books would still hold up today, but seeing as you say you still love to read him, maybe I’ll give The Weekend a go for nostalgia sake. Thanks.

I respect Matheson and I believe he is an influential horror novelist. This book was an entertaining read considering it wasn’t very long, but in my mind not a great book. Could’ve been much more detailed you can read my review here: http://everythingofhorror.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-stir-of-echoes-1958-richard-matheson.html

They couldn’t just say he drowned? And why would a person who hit his head have SEVEN DIFFERENT BLOWS on his skull?! How dumb are the police in that town to even believe that BS story?
