 Faithful - Stephen King, Stewart O'Nan
 Faithful - Stephen King, Stewart O'Nan ... than two renowned horror writers and lifelong Red Sox addicts? Red Sox fans have seen it all since 1918...except that elusive World Championship. The memory of 2003's devastating ALCS Game 7 loss and the anticipation of new ace Curt Schilling's impact made this season that much more compelling.
