    I'm reading the Shining for the first time. I got it at half price books for 1.25 (the original was 2.50! crazyness).

    Still, The Regulators may be close to what you're asking about. There's western elements, and horror, and such.
    yeah the desperation movie has the guy who played hell boy as the sheriff,and the guy that was on the shining mini series remake. if you want you can go to watchmovies.net i think thats where i watched it but u prolly wont like it

    Is that a bad thing? i've been curious since I saw the trailer. Only reason I haven't read them is because they're too expensive to buy the whole set right now........

    They're kind of poor man's Harry Potter, so to say (those books ARE expensive, I borrowed mine from the library). I loved the idea, but the plot, the characters, the dialogue.. as thin as the paper they were written into. That's only my opinion, anyway.

    R.A. Salvatore's The Ghost King. So far it is not bad, but it's not grabbing me as much as the Hunter's Blade Trilogy.

    I've read it about a dozen or so times I guess. I think I might be rereading all of King's books in order of publication.
