When it thunders and storms and howls at night, can you read a scary book?

Question

Sounds like a challenge. It is storming here.

Answer 1

That's the best time to do it! I love watching scary movies with my friends on nights like that!

Answer 2

It's the best time. It adds that little extra tension to the pictures in your head.

You'll remember the book a whole lot longer too.

I'll never forget 'The Exorcist' I read it over thirty years ago, on my own, in a holiday chalet, off season, so it was pretty much deserted and there was a mouse in the wall who seemed to move on cue.

Even now I can visualize the whole night.

Turn off your PC and go for it.

Answer 3

Yes, and if the electricity goes out I use a flashlight or three candles.  

Answer 4

Perfect time, for that, let's face it that was when Mary Shelley, wrote

"Frankenstein" that was in the 1850s, or there about, and it still is a scary story.

Me, I'm not so sure, lol But it sure would help with the right atmosphere.

Answer 5

yeah, it all depends on what kind of person you are. I read a lot of scary books on stormy nights and i haven't had any problems. Just as long as the lights don't go out you should be fine but just in case keep a book light or flashlight close by,

Answer 6

It depends on whether or not I am alone. As long as my dog is with me, I'm fine. If I'm alone and without my dog, I'd choose something more uplifting.

Of course, scary is not necessarily my thing.

Answer 7

Hmm, I don't know. I'd probably try but end up wimping out when the book gets to a too-scary part. xD but I don't really read scary books anyway.

Answer 8

I can always read Stephen King... the storm just adds to the atmosphere.

Answer 9

heck yes.

im a huge coward by the way

Answer 10

yes with the dog hiding under the blanket
