Some of my thoughts and questions on "Wrapping up the holiday season"

Pretty much, yeah, on all three. And this is without a sign of a demon, devil, Elder god, angel or any other supernatural being anywhere within the pages...

Well, Steven King, in an attempt to write a horror novel involving only the natural, wrote CUJO. Of course, that was suspense and not horror...

He's written a bunch like that. MISERY comes to mind. I think LISEY'S STORY is suspense, but I haven't read it. Same goes for DOLORES CLAIBORNE, but lots of short stories, particularly the one about the castaway who has to eat himself to survive.

I don't know if I'd call this story a horror novel (or whatever format it ends up as) exactly... it is pretty sickening, though...

More unflinching violence than From Hell?
More bizarre sex acts than Preacher?
More disturbing than that kids head in the box in Scars?

Jeez, I dunno man, you'll have to stick to logic and 'real-world' stuff if you write yourself into a corner.
Could be tricky!

Probably won't be much violence at all. Depends on what you call a sex act, I think. (I didn't think most in Preacher were all that bizarre.) Kid's head in a box? Kid stuff...
