Hey now, Jon. Wisconsin is the home of not only Jeffrey Dahmer, but also Ed Gein, who lived in rural Packerland. Ol' Geinster has been used as the inspiration for a number of horror movies. When "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" said it was based on a "true story," it was referring to Ed Gein. TCM is an essential horror movie.<br />

Wisconsin is a terrific setting for a horror novel. As someone who forwent work for the DMV today in order to get Wisconsin plates on his Honda, I can attest to this.<br />

The Brewers are pretty horrific, too. I'm a Minnesota Twins guy. When football season comes around, however, it's on with the green and gold.

Unfortunately, Jeffrey Deaver is unable to swing by and defend himself, because he's too busy counting all his money from BOOK SALES. :)

The Killing Hour - by NZ author Paul Cleave. His second book - the first - The Cleaner - was a ripper as well but I wasn't expecting where he went with the 2nd (unconnected) offering. Frightened me witless (short trip I know) but I ended up with the lights on for days.<br />
<br />
Fabulous book incidentally, but I doubt he'll be winning any awards from the Christchurch Tourist Authority anytime soon.

THE SEARCH FOR JOSEPH TULLY, by William H. Hallahan. Twist and twist and twist again; by the time Hallahan was done, the story was white-hot Damascus steel. I've rarely felt as alone and undefended as at the end of that read. The two big dogs wondered why I had them sleep inside that night.

Jude - The book was worth reading and Deaver is definitely successful in terms of sales - the topic came up as to whether or not Wisconsin could be a scary place. And I vote yes.

Maybe he has a deep psychological fear of poison ivy, dating back to his childhood and the summer his oversexed, alcoholic aunt drank all the calomine lotion. Wow--I'm better at this than I thought.
