Do we need to reach 10 nominations or are we running with what we've got? If you guys are interested in something different, and if I can nominate twice to get the ball rolling, I'd like to throw From Hell by Alan Moore into the ring. It's a graphic novel about Jack the Ripper. Brand new it runs about $35, but it's popular enough you could probably find it at the library.
I will nominate From Hell by Alan Moore
Oh wow, I saw the movie and I liked it very much...stars Johnny Depp. The book sounds a bit steep for me to buy; but it's a good choice.

I've heard that the only similarity between the movie and comic is the name.... but the comic is really really good. You should vote for it

There is a tie at the of the poll. Since we have already read Rebecca, we will go with Something Wicked Comes This Way by Ray Bradbury.
