        Still musing over the nights events, I began planing the various
project for today as I dressed.  As I began lacing up my boots, a chill 
slide up my spine.  There caught in the binding was small leaf.  Had my 
travel through the forest been a dream?  I was no longer so sure.

        Shaking the feeling out of my mind as being foolish, I completed 
dressing and walked over to the local grocery/hardware store, Mimm's General
store, for the days supplies.  
        
        I felt like I still dwelt within a fog.  I could bearly return the
greetings of old man Connors and Doc Jenkins as I entered the store.

Hello, every reader of alt.horror.werewolves!

I am relatively new with posting to the NetNews, so please forgive any blatent
errors of Netiquette.

I have always been EXTREMELY FASCINATED with werewolves!  I know to some...
A>K>A> The General Public...     that may seem a little  *no, a lot* weird,
but it's still true.  I am a perfectly normal college Junior and if this is
my only deviation from 'mainstream' I guess I'm doin' O.K.

I read about an earlier post about someone [please forgive the lack of proper
source] asking if someone else had any dreams about lycanthropy.  It was really
fascinating when the answerer told of his/her dream about talking with friends,
walking away, and THEN noticing that he/she was walking away on ALL FOURS...!
For those of us who have had these dreams, do you think...    ACTUALLY, what
do you'all think...?

My sincere thank you for this newsgroup, and especially for the current
story being written.  In both respects, jobs VERY well done, indeed.

I do have one request, tho'...  For whoever is granted the opportunity to write
the 'transformation' scene, if one is to be included, please do it with as much
detail as possible.  The beauty of the wolf has few equals, and, for me,
scenes such as this, if properly detailed, can add to the beauty...the
mystery...the fascination and 'wantingness' of *being* a werewolf!

My thanks again.  Great job.  I am very glad to have become a regular reader
of this newsgroup.  May success attend your every efforts!

Can anyone here recommend any good mags that are worth reading of a horror 
nature, not films mags like fangoria are complete crap..

Judjing by replies to previous letters no one has even heard let alone read
James Herbert, therefore I would advise everyone who reads this to go and buy
a couple of his books (definitley the Fog and The Rats trilogy). They are well
worth reading and if you like King you will love Herbert. He is about the best
British horror author of all time.

I think the idea stinks, and I hope it goes the way of most rumors. I love
the series, and the way King constantly says it gnaws on him to complete
it, I can't say I beleive he'd just up and say "no more, sorry, no money".
Maybe Don M Grant just said he won't publish 'em anymore, or something
to that effect.  I really can't see the reason for it at all.  May I ask
what the source of said rumor is?

That's a big surprise. Wasn't the book on the bestseller list of the
New York Times? Of course, it doesn't mean that it woukld have made
a profit, but one would expect the publishers to have enough marketing
savvy to make a nice bundle from it.. 

We'll see. Someone on the net said something about the next book coming
out in Spring '94. it all depends on which rumor to believe....

I have seen interviews with Sara Gilbert, who fancies herself as quite the
retro-sixties intellectual.  I suspect that the writers allow the actors to
inject some of their personality into their roles.  After all, this is 
a TV sitcom, not Shakespearian drama.  

Reading "Interview" was a good choice for her, however, as it is more
cultish than King or Barker, and denotes a certain faux-intellectual
snobbery in her character.

No flames on that last comment.  When you were in high school, didn't you
make sure that people saw you reading "cool" books rather than Harlequin
Romances or John Jakes?

 He's okay, but his stuff is dime-store Big Book-type horror, not that

I'm trying to remember the title and author of a book that I saw at a
bookstore maybe a year ago.  It was about a gargoyle which comes to
life and, of course, goes around killing people.  There was also
something about a little boy who had some sort of mental link with the
gargoyle before it even came to life.  It think the title was "Night" 
something, perhaps "Night Gaunt"?  I realize it was probably a very
low quality make-a-fast-buck book by an unknown no-talent author, but
please no flames about my tastes.  I just like gargolyes :-).  I would
just like to know the title and author, maybe a review if possible?

I don't know about the rest of you devout horror fans, but I must say that
my favorite "Dead things attacking people" type movie was:

RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD...

Although the prequel, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (in B/W) pulls a close second.
And the sequel, RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD II just SuCkEd immensely (nothing
more degrading than trying to make a comedy out of a horror)

But ROTLD was cool...  the story line had continuity...  there was very few
loopholes (in any?)...  and (the one thing that can really pull a horror down)
there wasn't a single character that was "the hero".  You know, the guy that
does things that no one in the right mind would do (take big risks)...
 
People were actually scared.  The punks in that gang didn't act 'tough' once
they knew what they were up against...  I thought it was a pretty realistic
way people would act under those circumstances.

AND, the ending was cool (probably the hardest thing to do to a horror movie 
is give it a good ending)...  when they nuked the city...  I was quite content
that they didn't send a small army in to get mangled by the corpses (that 
would've been a real cliche...  army attacks supernatural force and gets its
ass kicked)
 
ROTLD is a classic...  if you haven't seen it...  you're missing out.

Doubtful.  It seems like a very self-conscious choice of reading material

The Raft, if I recall correctly, is in SKELETON CREW.

And of course, RAGE was from Bachman. You may with luck find an old copy of RAGE
But you will have more chance of getting it in THE BACHMAN BOOKS which contains

Yep! I really like James Herbert, and Ramsey Campbell also. Found the DARK
oustanding. I like is sense of mesure (not putting to much REALLY unnecessary
description, like KING do sometimes more often). I'm much a reader of
short stories (hey, I am THE Lovecraft fan of the world); Not knowing
too much James, I was wondering if he had published a collection of shorts?

Anyone knows?

_King says_ that his ID as Bachman was discovered by a nosy reporter and by a 
couple of hints that were left incidentally...Also according to King, Bachman's
next book (_Misery_) was to be released in hardcover (hardly the sign of an
author who can't get sales).

This is the movie of which he speaks, even if he does not know it is
called ARMY OF DARKNESS.  It picks up right where EVIL DEAD 2 left off,
with the hero in the medieval past with a chainsaw on one arm, a shotgun
and a car.  Raimi is calling it ARMY OF DARKNESS in order to pick up a
wider audience than the usual people who go to see horror movie sequels.
It looks to be played up for laughs, but with a lot of great Raimi-esque
special effects.  I think it's going to be one of the best horror flicks
in a long time, IF it ever comes out.  Feb.12 is as good a date as any.
I've heard February, but the date does seem to float around some,
doesn't it?

My understanding was that the Bachman pen-name was exposed *after* Thinner
was published by a nosy reporter.  Unless you believe in Oliver Stone-ish
conspiracy theories, I suspect King did *not* reveal his authorship to
sell more Thinner books.  He used the pseudonym to write different stories
from the supernatural novels he was already (in)famous for.  Why would he
blow a well-guarded secret to make a few more million?  After all, he
has lamented that he had wanted Misery to be the next Bachman book...

Now, after the secret was out, I'm sure the publisher couldn't resist
taking advantage of the situation.  I don't see King as the villain here.
