Read this many years ago, and absolutely LOVED it! It's kind of a cross between 'Ring' and gee, I don't know, whatever other book you've ever read that scared the crap out of you. It might be a little depressing, though, but this shouldn't be surprising since it does have 'damned' in the title. I recommend that you wear gloves if you ever read it 'cause, well you'll find out.
I've never read any other books by Fowler and I don't understand why since this one is a favorite of mine. ( )

Rosalyn Vaughn is a typical fan of horror stories. Always looking for a bigger and better scare. The more realistic the better. Until the day that she finds 'The Book of the Damned' in the stacks of her library.
Soon after starting the book, she finds that the plot of the novel begins to intrude into her reality and she is drawn into the 'fiction' of the novel itself.

It turns out that the book is cursed and those who read it are doomed to live it. The terror is unrelenting and not for the squemish or those who demand a happy ending.

This is the story for those who always wondered how they would react if they found themselves as characters in a horror novel. Read 'The Book of the Damned' and find out, IF YOU DARE!! ( )
