I forgot how ridiculous much of that was, but it was still a part of my tw/eens.

The Pear Shaped Man was the scariest story I ever read, and only read it once, it was like something crawled through my mind and molested my brain. Because of that I consider it true horror and give Martin credit for pushing all the right creepy buttons, it's just not something I will probably read again, much less recommend to anyone for the exact same reason.
