Thanks for all the awesome suggestions. I have read up through "Memnoch the Devil," in Anne Rice's chronicles. My favorites were actually "The Vampire Lestat," and "The Queen of the Damned." I really enjoyed "Memnoch," but found Lestat a bit too whiny in Body Theif. Then again, I was pregnant while reading these, so my mood may have been very different one book to the next.

I also enjoyed Harris's books. I really liked the first two, but I also enjoyed Hannible. It was different and not as fast paced, but, again, was pregnant while reading and haven't read the books since. I spent most of my pregnancy with a book in my hand. Maybe that's why my daughter learned to read at age 4. Don't know.

I've heard Straub's book "Ghost Story" is really good. King talks about it in his book Danse Macabre (which is also an incredible book--non fiction, but he does a great job analyzing the genre from almost all aspects of it--I found it very enlightening as well as very humorous).

Since everyone here is so adamant, I'll check out a few more from Koontz and see how I feel. So, it's Strangers and Watchers that I gotta read? Okay. You're on.

But I still think that Family Guy clip was hilarious.
