Favorite Scene from Wolves of the Calla

[RJErbacher]

For me, the scariest thing SK ever wrote was the ending of WOTC. The news report about SK's death. I was listening to this book on audio (cassette actually) and when that part came on I was sitting in traffic. I was listening so intently to the description of the accident and his demise that I was pushing harder and harder on the brake trying to make my motionless car stop moving. I wasn't even aware that I was blocking up the line of cars behind me. The tape finally finished, went through the disclaimer then to silence and when the tape finally clicked off I nearlly jumped through the roof of my car and I don't have a convertible and wasn't wearing a helmet. My hands were actually shaking and that type of reaction is just nowhere near how things normally affect me. Christ on a bike, that scared me.

That's at the end of Song of Susannah, but I know what you mean. When I was photocopying the manuscript before I'd read the book that page leaped out at me and raised goosebumps.

Sorry, Sorry. Mixed up my DT books. Thank you for the correction.

I love Eddie Dean, 'mayhaps' cause i see myself as an annoying smart-mouth(ass?), so i love it when he brings up some stupid joke/rejoinder and moves on when no-one's caught it yet but i think my fav is how Rosa invites Roland to her pad.....hello.

Robot fire engines -killing more people than they rescue - priceless. And the taheen goes "Jesus how many of my men have those trucks taken out?" xx
