You Are Intoxicated By My Presence.

My best friend, Rena, says she's not into vampire novels. She likes depressing novels. Well, WHO IS NOT INTO VAMPIRE NOVELS? Anyways, after a long arguement, I have decided to recommend some dark & depressing novels, for anyone like Rena.

Crank : by ellen hopkins.

Crank definitly fits this mold, this is one of Rena's favourite books. Guess who recommended it to her? It tells the story of seventeen year old Kristina, a typical good girl who meets the monster. It's written entirely in poems, but the poems deepen with depressing thoughts as we watch Kristina's struggle to overcome her new addiction.

Shattering Glass : by gail giles.

Simon Glass was easy to hate. I never knew exactly why, there was too much to pick from. I guess, really, we each hated him for a different reason, but we didn’t realize it until the day we killed him. When Rob, the charismatic leader of the senior class, decides to turn the sniveling class nerd in Prince Charming, his cruel challenge leads to violence and death.

Right Behind You : gail giles.

This one is one of my favourite books ! (=

What I know: On his seventh birthday, I set Bobby Clarke on fire. I was nine. Star swimmer, loyal friend, and good looking, too. “Perfect”—that’s how they describe his life. But no one knows he’s got a past. No one knows that he’s seen what nightmares are made of, or that he spent four long years in a juvenile ward. That his best friends were hardened criminals. They don’t even know his real name.

Go Ask Alice : anonymous.

When a middle-class teen returns to her hometown for the summer, she unwillingly ingests LSD in a bottle of Coca-Cola. Now we watch the diary entries of our new friend and how different drugs can affect her once-perfect life.

Oh damn, damn, damn, it's happened again. I don't know whether to scream with glory or cover myself with ashes and sackcloth, whatever that means. Anyone who says pot and acid are not addicting is a damn, stupid, raving idiot, unenlightened fool! I've been on them since July 10, and when I've been off I've been scared to death to even think of anything that even looks or seems like dope. All the time pretending to myself that I could take it or leave it!

Well, I have a novel to write and a shower to take.

Signed, Reading Roxanne.
