What are you reading? (continued)

I'm finally breaking in to the works of Joe Hill. Reading Heart Shaped Box, man, why didn't you guys tell me how good this stuff was. First 100 pages or so gave me the willies big time. Man's got a piece of his dad's gift . . . thats for sure.

Thanks for reminding me. I keep meaning to Read Joe's book, so now I've reserved it.

Right now I'm reading the Dexter series.

Wait til you get to Horns. It's crazy good.

I could not agree more. Joe Hill has had a meteoric rise; "Heart Shaped Box", "Horns" , The graphic novellas "Locke and Key", "Kodiak, "The Cape", and of course; the great short stories from "20th Century Ghosts". I was very surprised at how well he seamlessly creates solid characters and masters the unexpected with economy and terror. I am glad to have another part of "The King Family" to read, and ever increase the quality of new speculative fiction and, of course horror. I guess ,sometimes these works are better discovered -as with you- on your own, as a great opus surprise. E.Freemantle, AKA Beambounder.

Has anyone read any of Tabitha'a books? I loved Small World and Candles Burning. But I could not get into Caretaker, although I tried to read it a few times. I haven't read any of her other books.

Read her novel Book Of Reuben, recently. Thought it was really good.

I'm reading "The Bodies Left Behind" by Jeffrey Deaver. Got to a part in the book last night where a couple of police were talking about Glocks not having safeties. It really cracked me up.

If I would have had to explain to anyone why I was laughing, I don't think it would have been funny to anyone else but I'm sure you guys understand.

I re-read Duma Key by Stephen King.

My daughter talked me into reading the Amytiville Horror. It's definitely not a difficult read but does pretty good with the creep-factor. It is one book though, I gotta say, where the movie was better.

Well, my sweet little 11-year-old daughter bought me Lisey's Story about three weeks ago, and I haven't had a spare minute to even start it! That is what I will be reading when life finally slows down a bit (and I hope that comes very soon!).
