   1 For one entry: Most suspenseful book? It’s a tie between Intensity by Dean Koontz and The Thirteenth Tale. Ti’s last blog post..End of the Read-a-Thon Meme Reply to this comment.

   2 For two more entries: I’ve thought about this question before if you can believe it. There is nothing that I wouldn’t do to save my child. I would do whatever it takes, and not hesitate one minute over it. Ti’s last blog post..End of the Read-a-Thon Meme Reply to this comment.

9. Sandy Posted: Apr 20th, 2009 at 1:12 am

   9 I’m going to try to remember to listen to that interview today, but in the meantime, I will answer these: I read alot of mystery/thriller types of books, but rarly find myself truly on the edge of my seat. I do remember having the bejesus scared out of me when I read “Pet Semetary” by Stephen King (to the point where I couldn’t sleep and didn’t want to be alone!). And I would lay down my life for my kids, so I guess that means I would do anything humanly possible to save them from harm! Sandy’s last blog post..Let’s have a moving party for Carrie!

    10 Scarpettajunkie here. The most suspenseful book has to be The Day Of The Jackal. I was naked in my husband’s bathrobe all day because we argued about what is really good literature and my husband bet me I would never read the jackal. I picked it up and read it in a day. I never got dressed. I just sweated and paced and ranted and felt like I’d been through a wringer at the end. Reply to this comment.

11. The Kool-Aid Mom Posted: Apr 20th, 2009 at 12:19 pm

    11 The most suspenseful book I’ve read was either Candyman or The Heart-Shaped Box. I read the former when I was in high school, so it might not be so scary now, but I read Heart-Shaped a few weeks ago. As far as an unnerving, stick-with-ya scary book, though, Bentley Little’s The Store still creeps up into my brain everytime I go to Wal-Mart. I soooooo want to win this book!

    12 Ti, no worried about the Twitter link. I don’t know how to do that myself. I got a copy by the @lithousewife, so that’s cool. Thanks so much to everyone for your suspense/scary novel suggestions. I haven’t read or even heard of most of those novels except Pet Semetary. I read that while babysitting and I had pretty much the same reaction as Sandy! That walk home after midnight when the parent’s got home (just across the street and down one house) was the scariest walk of my life! LOL! Koolaid Mom – if you get the willies just from seeing the cover at Wal-Mart, I must read that book! Good luck to everyone! Keep those comments, tweets and posts coming. I can’t wait for today’s interview on Blog Talk Radio. I’ll be posting my question in the right sidebar at 4pm EST. Be sure to tweet me or send an email about my question for the author for six additional entries! Literate Housewife’s last blog post..Boneman’s Daughters Giveaway! Reply to this comment.

    13 k’s… I added the contest with link to the Blog Talk Radio interview. One thing… You say it’s on tomorrow at 2, but the link says 4/20 (today) at 1pm. as to the Q of what I wouldn’t do to protect one of my kids from mortal danger. I don’t know, and I could sit here and say I’d do whatever it took, but until I was actually in that moment, I couldn’t know. Crises reveals to us who and what our TRUE selves are.

    14 Good point, Koolaid Mom! The interview is today (4/20/09). I didn’t think that using “tomorrow” being confusing, but it certainly is. I’ll update the post as well. Literate Housewife’s last blog post..Boneman’s Daughters Giveaway! Reply to this comment.

18. msbabypug@gmail.com Posted: Apr 20th, 2009 at 5:20 pm

    18 the best suspense I can remember is an old fantasy novel by Father Andrew Greeley, it’s called the God Game. thanks for the giveaway Reply to this comment.

19. caite Posted: Apr 20th, 2009 at 5:41 pm

    19 lets see…for most suspenseful book I will say…Shadow Man by Cody McFadyen Reply to this comment.

20. caite Posted: Apr 20th, 2009 at 5:46 pm

    20 for two more tries…”Is there anything you wouldn’t do to save my child from mortal danger?” I don’t have children, but will a niece do? Well, it depends how you define “anything”. Would I do something morally indefensible….would I kill an innocent person for example…well, no. Because there are worse things than death, even of someone that you love. Reply to this comment.

    26 The question alone brings up so many wonderful heart thumping memories…too many. I can’t seem to pull one title out. I think they’ve melted into one long memory. ::Nightmare File:: This is hard but I’ve got to say Contest by Matthew Reilly (1996). It was a mile a minute and freaked me out. Great read.

    34 Is there anything you wouldn’t do to save my child from mortal danger? Please explain why… Well, I don’t know your child but I would do a fair amount of things if I knew the child even if I didn’t.. Now if it was MY child.. I would go to the ends of the world and beyond if needed… My daughter is already having a life or death surgery at 11 months old and I had every possible test done on myself to see if I could do anything..

    35 Wow! You all have such wonderful suspenseful reads to suggest! I can’t believe that I’ve read only one of them still. Create job! Don’t forget to listen to Ted Dekker’s interview from Monday. It was a lot of fun! The question and the link are in the right sidebar. It’s a fun way to earn a lot of extra entries! Brooke, I wish your daughter the best! I hope that all goes well. I can only imagine what you are going through with that. That theme is really at the heart of Boneman’s Daughter, which is why I asked the question. Your family is in my prayers!

I couldn’t read that book too late at night because I wouldn’t be able to sleep.

    55 While I haven’t read it in a long time, the book Lost Boys by Orson Scott Card is probably the most suspenseful I can remember reading. It had me from the first page, a tough job since I had already read his short story that he reworked into this full novel. Reply to this comment.
