Illiteracy is really scary.

Wired.com has this story about a new effort by the Horror Writers Association to support literacy. They are holding a benefit auction on eBay:

\”Among the items up for auction: a rare softcover advance copy (bound galley) of Thomas Harris\’ The Silence of the Lambs issued by St. Martin\’s Press in 1988, the first U.S. hardcover edition of Clive Barker\’s The Damnation Game, and a bundle of limited-edition prints depicting scenes from Stephen King novels such as Carrie and The Shining.\”
