When an astronaught is space walking outside his craft both him and his ship are in an orbital flight path around...
I recently finished his story The Whisperer in Darkness. For a while I was getting worried that the main character was going to meet a predictable death. However that didn't happen. Instead I was pleased to get an ending that was really spooky. Also at the same time it didn't explain...
I think Alan Moore's complaints are justified. The changes to to ending were unnecessary so I can understand why the author would be mad about the script. I was disappointed to see the Finch and Creedy's roles in the ending mixed around. Also Finch was well on his way to his original ending...

If you can handle Stephen King books you should be able to handle the horror element of House of Leaves. It's still a very strange book at least in regards to it's writing style and it can be challenge to read because it has a lot of 1st person paranoid rambling from Johnny Truant.
For me...
Certain cliché characters. Like weird kids who turn out to have psychic abilities. Sometimes it's okay if it fits into the story but I think often it's unnecessary. Like in the Langoliers.
