I actually do have "Cell", but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. So, it's good then. I have to get to it soon. I very much enjoy a good horror.

Well, it's a "horror", in the sense of a disaster movie----it's NOT a horror in the sense of someone going-around killing everybody. Like I said, I like things that make ya go "Hmmm....."; so, PART of the horror of "Cell", to ME, is that it could actually HAPPEN!

Hmm... while someone killing everyone as you said, can be horror (or slasher), to me horror is about creepy atmosphere and things (possibly something supernatural) that go bump in the night, weird happenings etc. Stories that make you look over your shoulder and gives you goosebumps.

Yay! Looking forward to it. It'll have to wait til one of my current book is read though. Yes, one of my. I'm usually reading 2-3 books at a time, and currently reading 3, so gotta finish at least one of the ones I'm already reading first.
