You said it in regards to _Hunger Games_ and _War of the Worlds_, the
only two of those topmost four read by me. Neither story says "Boo!" to 
me.
    "I Have No Mouth" (IHNM) seems merely twisted and sick. Is it wrong
for me to see some dark humor in IHNM? Regardless, IHNM seems more Alice
Sheldon than Shirley Jackson, to me. Speaking of Jackson, why isn't she 
on the list? ✍

Thank you,
