The multi-billionaires at Google
have come down out of their castle’s full of naked supermodels and given us a
little post-Halloween treat.
By clicking

over to Google books and read some classic horror novels for free!
This is probably some of the coolest
news I’ve heard in a while. I think that people often forget, or simply ignore
the fact that many of the greatest stories ever told on screen originated inside
a book that was written decades, or even hundreds of years ago. I think everyone
should taka a little time to pick up some of the classics and give them a once
through.
Also with all this in mind, what’s
your favorite horror story? Personally Stephen King’s THE MIST still creeps me
out every time I wake up before dawn and there’s a thick fog outside. And what
horror stories do you think would make it big on the silver screen?
Even though I love classic 1931 version of DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE, I would
still love to see it redone, with someone like Polanski behind the camera.
