If it helps, I ended up not making tea OR chocolate. (I'd already brushed my teeth for bed, and knew that'd ruin the taste, so I went without.)
Unfortunately, I couldn't find my Lovecraft anthology. Or my glasses. Though, being nearsighted, the glasses thing didn't bother me so much, because reading in bed I usually hold my book a little closer anyway (except I got really frustrated trying to look for my glasses when I didn't have my contacts in). So I took Mr. Gaiman to bed instead. Though now I've got a serious craving to find my Lovecraft anthology and read it. And Confessions of a Justified Sinner. And Wieland. And ... you know, oddly enough, not Morrison's Beloved. I don't know why, but that one never struck me as particularly spooky or "gothic," and yet it was included in a grad class I took on gothic lit.
Oddly enough, I've also got an anthology of the "best" horror short stories, and none of them are particularly scary. In fact, there's a Neil story in THAT one that's positively hilarious. Since it would be breaking copyright law, I most certainly do NOT think about photocopying it and sending to you. Absolutely not.
