Just finished . I'm having trouble leaving Himmel Street. Now on to in the Series of Unfortunate Events.

I'm now reading a non-fiction novel titled 'Zodiac', which details the murders of the famed Zodiac Killer and the desperate search to uncover his identity. It's very interesting and gripping.

[mrbooks]

A House Called Askival by Merryn Glover.

It has some of the best reviews I've seen on Amazon - and I totally loved it. So glad I picked it up, it's on promo for Kindle just now.

It's set in post Independence India, and it's so vividly described, I felt I learned a lot about that time period. A woman returns home after many years to tend to her missionary father and sees her hometown changed by Capitalism. It's so interesting, highly recommend it.

[Michael]

I've just finished reading Scott Nicholson's horror novel 'The Red Church' and it's an excellent book - check out my review here:

[Susan]

So I finished Gone Girl. Kind of a harsh, mental torture book.
Now I'm going to give The Demon's Deadline a try.

[Michael]

I've just finished reading William Holloway's novel Lucky's Girl and while it's a familiar tale, it is well told told and a decent horror read:

Michael, you seem to have a lot of horror book experience. :-) What would you recommend for a scary Halloween read?

That's a bit of an open ended question :-) I'd recommend any of David Haynes' horror books (well any of his books in fairness!) - The Scream of Angels is simply superb.

The Marsh Madness
Just finished Marsh Madness, the 4th in the book collector mystery series by Victoria Abbott. Each book focuses on a classic mystery writer's books and follows that writer's plots. Excellent stuff!

[Philip]

Recently finished A Dance with Dragons I literally locked myself away for a few days.

[Michael]

I've just finished reading Douglas Clegg's Goat Dance and while it has some incredibly dark horror moments, it's also a bit too long for its own good:

http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/201...

[Michael]
