While at the book festival I came across a new edition of Matthew Lewis's The Monk. It's got a new introduction by Stephen King. While I'm no great fan (or detractor for that matter) of Stephen King, if his name causes people to pick up the book I'm all for it. Written in 1796, by a nineteen year old who never wrote another novel, it's got more gore and creepiness than anything else I've ever read. Or even watched in a movie for that matter!
