[Andrew✌️]

I'm reading The Reborn King, a nice fantasy stories with many twists and good pace. I think it's the first book of a trilogy.

Amazing book. Stephen King called it one of only two great horror novels written in the 20th century. (the other was 'Turn of the Screw.')

Of course, we could add at least another dozen books written by King himself.

The Circle by Dave Eggers

The Reawakening.

Finished up The Haunting of Hill House, so next up is Hell House by Richard Matheson. I sense a trend!

[Donita]

Just finished Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill. I love his dad but not too keen on the son's first effort. It was too melancholy throughout and never really grasped my feeling for the characters. Maybe I'll put him on the back burner...on to The Shadow Queen by CJ Redwine.

Good word for it "melancholy" his later books are not quite so stark. You might try HORNS which I think is really funny.

I think I mentioned that I read scripts for the Cinequest film festival here in San Jose CA. Currently, they are sending me nothing but horror scripts. I have to say that the first script I read was remarkable, like something by Anne Rice. But the newest one (supposedly a horror comedy) is just bad. Unfortunately, I can't share the names, though I guess I could if one of the scripts I read does win and is made into a film. Needless to say, it does limit my other reading.

[Staci]

Just finished IT by Stephen King again. This is one book that I like to read every couple of years to scare the heck out of me.

Try reading NOS4A2, Fireman, and Horns I loved each and every one of them in there own way. Just a thought He is a good writer he just needs a little seasoning as the saying goes and he will become a really good writer. Maybe one day he might become a great writer like his father, only time will tell.

Yes, I quite liked it. Mr. Dark certainly bore more than a passing resemblance to Leland Gaunt.

[Andrew✌️]

I finished The Reborn King, first book of a fantasy series, with good ideas and an interesting plot. Today I started The Chronicle of Heloise & Grimple, funny story with hilarious dialogues.

You can't beat IT. It's a maserpiece. JK Rowlings wrote three novels under the pen name Robert Galbraith. (The Cuckoo's Calling is one.) She must have been tired of writing for a general audience because they're very adult. I always felt that she inspired King to write the Bill Hodges trilogy, though hers is better (Except IMHO - for FINDERS KEEPERS.)
