Christopher Pike

Did anyone read his books when they were teens? I read them when I was younger, and bought them at this local used bookstore. I've dug them out, and I re-read the first one I ever read, Remember Me, and I must say it was pretty fucking awesome. I read the sequel and was a bit let-down, but nonetheless thought it was throughly good book. Now I'm reading one of his adult novels, The Season Of Passage, and it's quite hard to put down. I'm about one hundred and fifty pages into it, it's pretty amazing.

haha. yes, i read him as a kid. some of his young adult stuff is actually fairly well-written and interesting, considering what the YA market was flooded with in the early to mid 90s. i think he could've been an bestseller on the adult charts had his adult work been a bit stronger - most of it is very sci-fi heavy and i don't really go there.

the season of passage was pretty good, but you ought to track down sati. it's wonderful (though not really horror).

I've been thinking of picking up Sati, but it's kind of hard to find, well sort of. Isn't it about a girl (obiviously named Sati) who claims to be God? I kind of like the sci-fi edge some of his books have, but I don't know if I could read something STRAIGHT sci-fi you know. I have the book The Tachyon Web, which I believe is his only 100% sci-fi book.
Oh and did you ever read Whisper Of Death? OMFG that book gave me chills!

Wow, this brings back many memories. I loved his books when I was a teenager, Die Softly and Witch were my faves. I was also a Point Horror nerd.

whisper of death is probably his best YA book. it's quite creepy to me as well. sati is out of print, but you could check used book stores or buy online. i'd send you mine, but i've got a first edition hardcover i'd rather not part with. i just looked at my bookshelf (well, one of them), and i've got another of his adult novels - the cold one. i don't think it was that great, although it was apparently alright as i do remember finishing it. the problem is that he intended to finish the story with another book but never did. if you decide you want to read that one and can't find it (it may be out of print also), i could probably send the paperback i've got your way.
