I was a big Horror fan for a long, long time .. it just eventually got to the point where it seemed like it had all been done before .. there was nothing fresh .. it kind of went the same way with me on Sci Fi as well .. I still enjoy good Fantasy fiction in the vein of "Lord of the Rings" .. Historical novels / Bernard Cornwell are always great, lately, I've gone to sleep with Alternative History .. (no Strange Bedfellow Jokes, please ..

)
I don't really know why I got into Alternative History, other than a suggestion from someone .. you'd think the Modern World Reality would be alternative enough ..
