Stephen King called him "the Master of Macabre." My personal favorites are The Store and The Association. The Fear Itself episode 'Community' reminds me of The Association a great deal, and there's an episode of Masters of Horror based on Little's short story The Washingtonians of the same title.
Re: Does anyone read Bentley Little?
I read Benteley Little!!!!! I really like his satirical takes such as The Store. He confronts everything from gated communities (The Association) to charter schools (the Academy). He is very much Left of center politically. Given that, it's almost counter-productive that he treats sex as indicative of evil. His latest book, the Disapearence, is an attack on religious cultism. Stephen King himself is a great admirerof Little's work.
Bentley
Yes I do.. I have the Vanishing, it's the only one I've read so far but OOOOhhh how I love it!!! I love reading books as intense as this!!!! I'll have to check out " The ASSOCIATION"
Re: Does anyone read Bentley Little?
It took me MONTHS to get his short "The Numbers Game" out of my head. Pretty skin-crawling read.
Re: Does anyone read Bentley Little?
I love Bently Little.His first book "The Revelation" is amazing.
The Policy
Now that you mention it, I have read one of his books. It was called “The Policy”, and it was a rather strange take on the whole insurance policy. It made you think what those people are really capable of. Needless to say, I will think deeper in the regard to those insurance salesmen and women.
