I won't give specific examples, but Brian Lumley writes some pretty twisted stuff in the "Necroscope" series of books. So does Clive Barker as well.

I just finished reading the first book in the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series, Capture, and while I didn't like it as a 7th grader, I love it now. It's actually pretty philosophically deep for a kids' book, especially a kids' book about owls. I just HAD to give the series another chance after seeing the FREAKING AMAZING trailer for the movie in theaters, and I'm so glad I did.
(this is actually the 2nd trailer. it looks SOOOO much better in 3-D. The owls looked SO REAL when I saw the 1st trailer and I swear I was like
in the theater. It was an awe-inspiring moment and I got chills at the precision in the animation)
Although there was this part that I, a college/uni student, found really disturbing O_o It wasn't bad or anything--the symbolism behind it was actually very reminiscent of what C.S. Lewis did in Narnia and it was pretty amazing--but it was MEGA-creepy. And I'm definitely not a kid...I dunno how kids took it when they read it. I thought it was
eeee.

Just finished Peter Watts' Blindsight, which was very otherworldly hard science fiction. Makes you think about first contact with an alien species in very different way. Very intriguing read!

Yes, the premise is disturbing, but I really have enjoyed this series. The political situation is intriguing. Has anyone read Mockingjay yet? I'm waiting to get my hands on it.Originally posted by jmoz View Postsigpic

Mia: Don't you hate that?
Vincent: Hate what?
Mia: Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bullsh*t in order to be comfortable?
Vincent: I don't know. That's a good question.
Mia: That's when you know you've found somebody really special: you can just shut the f*** up for a minute and comfortably share silence.

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint... it happens to kinda look like the name 'Jeremy Bearimy' in cursive English.
