W <\/span><\/span>
\nHEN<\/span> I WAS YOUNG<\/span>, and it doesn\u2019t really seem that long ago, I loved books of short stories. Short stories could be read from start to finish in the kind of times I had available for reading\u2014morning break, or after-lunch nap, or on trains. They\u2019d set up, they\u2019d roll, and they\u2019d take you to a new world and deliver you safely back to school or back home in half an hour or so.<\/p>\n

Stories you read when you\u2019re the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you\u2019ll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.<\/p>\n

Horror stays with you hardest. If it brings a real chill to the back of your neck, if once the story is done you find yourself closing the book slowly, for fear of disturbing something, and creeping away, then it\u2019s there for the rest of time. There was a story I read when I was nine that ended with a room covered with snails. I think they were probably man-eating snails, and they were crawling slowly toward someone to eat him. I get the same creeps remembering it now that I did when I read it.<\/p>\n

Fantasy gets into your bones. There\u2019s a curve in a road I sometimes pass, a view of a village on rolling green hills, and, behind it, huger, craggier, grayer hills and, in the distance, mountains and mist, that I cannot see without remembering reading The Lord of the Rings.<\/span> The book is somewhere inside me, and that view brings it to the surface.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
