Books

The Prince George Public Library's Andrea Palmer and Erin Pfliger make up Daybreak's monthly book panel. Up for discussion this week: spooky stories, and why we like to be scared.


Books discussed (click on the covers to find them on Goodreads):

The Shining by Stephen King: One of the classics that our panel thinks might be scarier in book from.


















My Friend Dahmer by Derf Backderf: A graphic novel that is definitely not for kids-- a haunting memoir of growing up with serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.

























White Horse by Alex Adams: A woman on a quest might not sound scary, but when the backdrop is the end of the world, it it adds some fright.


























The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson: It may be old, but it's still chilling.

























Ghosts Caught on Film: Photographs of the Paranormal by Dr. Melvyn Willin: Photographs of ghosts.















The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman: The hit TV series started as this dark graphic novel.

Today on our Book Panel, we discussed Books for Men. Here are our panelist picks from the Prince George Public Library's Andrea Palmer and Erin Pfliger. Listen to the discussion before, and click on the book titles for more information from the website Goodreads.



Andrea started out with "Men behaving badly" and recommended The Outlaw Album by Daniel Woodrell:


Erin's first pick was Born to Run by Christopher McDouggal, an inside look at the secret world of intensive runners and superathletes.


Andrea's second pick was pop-culture writer Chuck Klostermann's latest, the Visible Man.



Finally, Erin put forward the pop culture phenomena and graphic novel The Walking Dead from Robert Kirkman.


Bonus! Our stock guy Steve Boker recommends the work of Wilbur Smith.
