I defer to Justin. Bigfoot needs another toot off the ol' crystal but I hope to finish reading this one tonight.

[Justin]

I'm going to work on offspring tonight because my kindle died last night. I can start tomorrow or any time after though.

[11811 (Eleven)]

That works. I can start tomorrow.

[Justin]

There really should be more books about Bigfoot on meth. Even a short story compilation from different authors would be badass.

It should be it's own subgenre, like zombies or vampires.

WHAT BOOK HAS BIGFOOT ON METH?!?

Bigfoot Crank Stomp. High quality literature.

[Justin]

Andy, if you want I can lend it to you. I bought it on Amazon for kindle and also have a personalized copy that I got from Bill for Christmas, he sent it to Erik to get signed and personalized. Very very cool gift.

[Justin]

[Justin]

If you can't read that, it says " Justin, Bigfoot is ganna crankstomp your fuckin head! Don't look for Bigfoot! Don't do drugs! Stay away from meth! ~Erik

[Andy]

That's awesome, Justin! I will definitely take you up on the offer, but not right away. I've got too many reads going at present.

Sound advice as well.

[Addy]

Hey justin, want to start flawed first week of March? Let me know if that will work.

[Justin]

Sound good. Just don't let me forget.

[Maxine Marsh]

Would anyone like to buddy read some of the books/novellas from the Subterranean Humble Bundle? I'm thinking to start with either Tortured Souls : The Legend of Primordium (Clive Barker), The Hunter from the Woods (McCammon) or The Ape's Wife and Other Stories (Caitlin Kiernan).

[Maxine Marsh]

Here's the bundle by the way if anyone missed it. Pick your own price, for charity! https://www.humblebundle.com/books

[Addy]

Let me check it out Maxine. I'll get back to you.

[Icy-Cobwebs-Crossing-SpaceTime]

If I can get it before it expires, I'll definitely want to participate

[Addy]

It's tempting but I'm gonna pass for now.

[Andy]

I'm down for an ongoing read of some of those novellas, Maxine. I'm also interested in the one by Lansdale. Black Hat Jack

[Maxine Marsh]

Would anyone like to read ClownFellas: Tales of the Bozo Family this month? I got it from Netgalley and could use a little bizarro/Mellick.

[Icy-Cobwebs-Crossing-SpaceTime]

I'm in for Clownfellas! Ditto NetGalley, and I think this is the first for me by that author.

[Icy-Cobwebs-Crossing-SpaceTime]

I've three 2014 holdovers I'd Like to get to:

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE HARRY QUEBERT AFFAIR, a mystery/thriller with some horrific elements [shudder]

I Am Pilgrim, thriller, out a year now

A reread of Revival

I'll be joining the March group read of Broken Monsters at Horror Aficionados

[Addy]

I've requested it Maxine. I like mellick. The one I couldn't finish was about zombies...lol. But that won't stop me from trying his other works. I've read two of his other stories and enjoyed them immensely.

[Maxine Marsh]

I love his books even if they aren't all fantastic, funny enough I loved Zombies and Shit. Ha! The Haunted Vagina is actually really good.

THV still gives me the willies.

[Addy]

Lol! I loved THV! If you haven't read The Cannibals of Candyland, man, that ones a gem;) Highly recommend.

[Kate]

I'm in for Clownfellas. :)

Andy, want to start with Barker's Tortured Souls? I think its only about 88 pages or so. I'll start a thread for the bundle reads!

[Maxine Marsh]

Okay, I'll set up a Clownfellas Thread and hopefully we'll start near March 1st, I'm going to wait for Addy to see when she gets her copy.

[Andy]

I'm in. Let's read through a few of them next month. I warn you that I am really busy with work and school, but will do my best to keep up.

[Maxine Marsh]

Me too, quite busy, so I'm glad they seem to mostly be novellas or short story collections.

[Icy-Cobwebs-Crossing-SpaceTime]

I got the HumbleBundle this AM!! So excited--worth it just for the Jack Vance. Ready to read when others are. (Any of the bundle)

Thanks, Maxine!!

[Andy]

Does anyone want to read all 5 Stoker award nominees for best novel with me? The award ceremony is Saturday, May 9, so I'd like to start as soon as possible.

To review, here are the five books we'd read:
Suffer the Children, Craig DiLouie
Jade Sky, Patrick Freivald
Beautiful You, Chuck Palahniuk
The Vines, Christopher Rice
Blood Kin, Steve Rasnic Tem

[Addy]

Id read The Vines. That's the only one I have.

[Icy-Cobwebs-Crossing-SpaceTime]

I would--depending on what I already have, because book purchases are out at least through April. I do have The Vines, and Suffer the Children.

[Andy]

My library has all but Jade Sky, so I'm gonna try for the quintuple-trifecta (I just invented a word) for sure,

[Maxine Marsh]

I'll read The Vines and Beautiful You, for sure because they are kindle unlimited and/or free library reads. I'll look up the others too!

[Addy]

Oh didn't know that Maxine. So whatever is available on unlimited, I'll be in on those as well. Yay! I don't know how I forgot to check that out.

[Maxine Marsh]

KU is what keeps me from going broke, lol. I always try to mention it so people know, just in case.

[Randy]

Maxine wrote: "KU is what keeps me from going broke"

With all the free books available every day? Most are the same KU books.

[Addy]

Most of the free stuff is from unknown authors which I have no problem with. KU has most of the free books plus authors I'm familiar with, so I find KU a pretty good deal:) Even though it's limited, there's no way I'd even begin to finish all of them!

[Maxine Marsh]

Yeah, quite a lot of the free stuff is iffy. Sometimes there are good deals on authors I like but the KU has more 'known' stuff available.

[Randy]

I didn't see any of the authors on KU that I knew before I started getting the free books. It's what I checked when they first offered KU.

But many of the new authors I like from getting free books are on KU. In general, I just put those authors on a watch list on eReaderIQ.

[Maxine Marsh]

Hi Randy! I'd love to hear who your favorite authors are. If I can get them free, all the better! Here are some great authors I've found on Amazon Kindle Unlimited. There's a lot of Jack Ketchum that's KU. Also, the Darkfuse stuff tends to be KU too. There's Christopher Rice, Tim Lebbon, Ian Rob Wright and I believe most of Blake Crouch's work is KU. There's an anthology by Laird Barron I'm dying to read, and the entire Blackwater series by Michael McDowell. Jack Kilborn and Ania Ahlborn have KU books, as well as Robert McCammon. Don't miss Thomas Tryon's Harvest Home (a great classic horror read).

[Icy-Cobwebs-Crossing-SpaceTime]

Which Laird Barron, Maxine?

HA did Harvest Home as a secondary read recently..I agree, Harvest Home is a classic, and a rereader.
