Crypt Corner

As a special addition to the blog, my good friend Lindsay will be contributing.  Because Lindsay's book preferences are "darker" than my own, she will be reading more than 32 books about zombies, hauntings, serial killers, vampires, etc.  "I don't discriminate", she says. "I like all things dead."  In this blog, Lindsay's posts will be tagged under "Tales From the Crypt", so keep your eyes peeled!
