Fear- a breakdown

[stormchaser]

What is it about this book that makes people affraid? I have read it several times and each time I tend to somehow stumble on something new that raises eyebrows. To me it's just that well detailed.

I find it so easy to get enthralled in it all. Some parts I do genuinley find disturbing, 'in the storm', for example.. What also went on in the ruined house including their sightings makes it even more disturbing.

But putting all that aside for the moment, I want people's views with regard to fear in relation to this fantastic book.

Thanks in advance for your input.

The fear of utter helplessness and hopelessness is portrayed very well throughout the book. It's a more subtle feeling of fear than you generally get in more modern novels or films.

Aye, it's like an overall wash of a unique emotion that runs throughout the book, a mix of fear, awe, excitement and oppression. Nothing else feels like it.

The thought that some people may make really shit film versions of the book scares the absolute cock off me.

Hollywood and oiky little companies have far too much respect for such a classic to do that!
