I voted Sylvia Plath because I've never read anything by her yet. Can't really deal with VC Andrews, Read just about everything by both EA Poe, and HP Lovecraft, and Anne Rice just isn't as exciting to me as she used to be. Stephen King is still good, though.

Let's give this one more day, then go with a poll on which work.

I know Plath (http://www.sylviaplath.de/) more for poetry (http://www.angelfire.com/tn/plath/) than prose, but she is certainly very dark and very psychological. I think a discussion about her stuff would fit right in. I'm intrigued to see her on a list with Poe and King and Lovecraft. It's a bit eccentric, but makes just a ton of sense.

I don't think if I've read horror writing since I was in high school. But I actually knew some of those names (confessing that I've read some of Anne Rice's racy stuff under her pseudonym). Plath, however, has always been a favorite so if you picked something by her, I'd read it and maybe re-discover the horror in me.:eek:

I read The Bell Jar my sophmore year of high-school. Not that I actually remember it. I know labeling her in the horror genre is a bit of a stretch, but I think her poetry is dark enough... It will be an interesting outlook, if nothing else.

If I remember right, the ideas in The Bell Jar were pretty dark, psychologically dark.

Look forward to re-reading it
