WHAT WE'RE READING
******************
"Mr. X"
by Peter Straub
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0679401385/entertainmentsit
Peter Straub's 13th novel, "Mr. X," is a dark read
indeed--held together by the supernatural nuts and bolts
that his fans so crave. Ned Dunstan had always sensed that
he wasn't quite "whole," but it isn't until his 35th
birthday that he discovers the horrifying truth about his
real identity.

"The Descent"
by Jeff Long
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0609602934/entertainmentsit
What if hell was a real place rather than a religious or
cultural myth? In Jeff Long's supernatural thriller, "The
Descent," Himalayan climber Ike Crockett falls into a deep
cavern and discovers that a terrifying otherworld is
literally just below the surface.


NEW IN PAPERBACK

"The Vampire Armand"
by Anne Rice

BLAIR WITCH FEVER
*****************
"The Blair Witch Project"
by Dave Stern(D.A.)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0451199669/entertainmentsit
All across America, people are scaring themselves silly,
subjecting themselves to one of the most disturbing films of
recent times--"The Blair Witch Project." In October 1994,
three young filmmakers went into the woods in a town near
Maryland to shoot a documentary and explore a local legend.
They never came back. Now you can get even closer to the
truth--with the publication of the official "Blair Witch
Project" dossier. Previously sealed police reports, diary
excerpts, photographs, and forensic evidence make for one
seriously terrifying read.
