The Days Of Our Lives

The past...the present...the future!

What is the term for Sparrow Phobia?

 
Being a fan of Stephen King, I just finished reading his 'The Dark Half'. I can't stand most horror movies but somehow enjoy reading the horror genre of novels - 'The stranger the better'!

Anyway, the story of 'The Dark Half' revolves around an author, Thad, who writes a couple of best-selling horror novels under a pseudo name - George Stark. Then all of a sudden, George Stark somehow comes to life and goes into a frenzy murdering people associated with this 'light' half (Thad, duh!) Then he goes after Thad himself and then Thad does....blah blah blah.

Without giving too much of the story away all I can say is that the gut-wrenching plot invlved sparrows; and now I find it difficult not to run away from sparrows when I see them.

@GHB~
yup, i knew that...ever read Carrie? the librarian tried to discourage me from reading that book. he felt i was too innocent and sweet to b reading a scary book like that. i was doing my grads then! or maybe he thought i was younger than i was. either ways, i liked to see him dismayed at my firm decision to read that book.
