This thread reminds me of a horror book that I read as a 14 year-old, which was really way too young to be reading this kind of shit; it was called "Night Chills", about this dude who brainwashed an entire town. He could go up to anyone and say "I am the key", and they'd go into a trance and say "I am the lock", and then he'd do whatever he wanted to them. I was interning through my middle school at a bookstore on the weekend, and it was run by this old perv who would recommend these books to me. He'd be like (deep, whispery husky voice) "I think you'll find page 72 to be interesting..." and I would flip to the page and experience irreparable trauma while simultaneously not being able to put the book down.
