Post-Stephen Horror Reading
I am nearing the end of Stephen King's impressive 'Doctor Sleep' and I know that when it is read and gone it is going to leave a huge hole to fill, so I've been busy gathering post-King reading material like a squirrel gathering nuts for winter.
I said in my last post that I wanted to find some female British Horror writers and I've discovered the immensely popular Rayne Hall (who's German, but you know, she lives here!). I've bought her '13 British Horror Stories', which given my own book, how could I not! I also purchased her 'Writing Scary Scenes' for a bit of a brush up on horror writing, as I want to write more.
Through the GoodReads 'Horror Aficionados' group I have also discovered a Shirley Jackson book 'We Have Always Lived in the Castle' and 'Let the Right One In' by John Ajvide Lindqvist. Neither authors are British, but no matter when they appear to be Horror writing of quality.
I wish I had more time to give up to reading and writing. I don't seem to get to do enough of either.
