The first horror book I ever read was an anthology of Bloch stories published (I believe) in the early 70's called 'Such Stuff As Screams Are Made Of'. I loved it so much I stole it from the library, and I still have it to this day (bring it on CHUDcop!). I must've been all of 11 or so. Anyhow, it has a story in it called 'The Masterpiece', about the ultimate revenge that a painter takes on the woman who betrayed him and stole his painting and gave it to his best friend who claimed it as his own and reaped rewards for the theft. It is a beautiful and holy thing. Psycho is a fine novel, but overrated compared to his shorter gems.

Anybody here snake Bradbury's 'Quicker Than The Eye' anthology from the bargain table? I got it for $2.99 at Barnes y Noble Bibliotista and consider that a steal, even though I DID pay for it.
Actually, come to think of it, I had returned some books to the store that I hadn't actually bought, and got it on store credit, so I guess I did steal it.
I don't advocate that, though.
Stealing is bad.
Heh.
Damn the Man!
