I want to finish this before I watch the show :)

After the huge disappointment in The Only Child I had forgotten why I loved Andrew Pyper's previous books. Though I'm only 111 pages into this one, I have been reminded at what a brilliant writer he normally is. If the story continues as incredible as it's been so far, this may end up being my fave book by him.
I'm rereading IT. Surprising how much more I am getting out of it the second time around. Maturity and broader experience I suppose. But now when one of the characters references HP Lovecraft, I get it.

I'd be interested to know what you thought of the Tremblay book, Char. I've never read him before, but am considering getting that one.

Added to my list! So it's a companion to Rot & Ruin?

I'm not sure how best to describe Maberry's different series. They each can be read as complete series but all of them are converging into the same story line, if that makes sense - Dead of Night, Rot and Ruin, and even the Joe Ledger series.
Dead of Night series tells how the apocalypse starts. Very creepy and even somewhat believable. The people in Rot and Ruin don't know how the apocalypse got started but it doesn't affect how well the story is told. It's considered YA but an old lady like me liked it too. Joe Ledger works into the whole storyline a bit later.

Ah, I see. I like how there could be a connection to all of his series.
I had just finished reading a book and was about to select something new when I got an email from my library that this was available for Kindle download:

Beyond Boggy Creek: In Search of the Southern Sasquatch by Lyle Blackburn. Yesterday, I finished Momo: The Strange Case of the Missouri Monster by the same author.
Well, after the long wait and hoopla I had hoped Cari Mora would be up there with Harris' Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs. For the first third or so, I was finding it to be very unimpressive and bizarre how you're thrown into what feels like the middle of the story. However, as it goes along, Harris fills in the details and background bit by bit, so the story improves, but still wasn't quite hitting it for me. Until the ending of chapter 21. Hooooleee shit! That was a real shocker. Now he's got my attention. I'm now much more eager about seeing where this book is going.

I loved Wylding Hall - so atmospheric, old style and great fun

And looking to dip into In the Dark: Tales of Terror by E. Nesbit by E. Nesbit, a collection of ghost stories compiled and edited by the late Hugh Lamb.


Great series, I hope you enjoy it."
Thanks Erin!
