Yes :-) I rather like THE BAD PLACE. I've read it 3-4 times. Very mysterious with some nice Sci-Fi elements. I would also recommend COLD FIRE.

I just read the summary and I haven't read Cold Fire yet. Sounds really good.

77 Shadow Street was featured as a group read in August but I didn't get around to reading it. Been meaning to revisit the Pendleton and I plan to this month. Here is the most recent discussion thread:

by John Wyndham
Written in early 1950's.
Finished. It was fun to read but very dated.

I'm enjoying a morbidly curious book called JUST KILL ME. It was published a couple of months ago and I picked it up at my local library :-)

I enjoyed Perfect Nightmare :-)
I don't think I've read Doctor Sleep because I think it is a sequel to a book I haven't read.

Duma Key, Revival, Full Dark, No Stars are among my favorite Stephen King Books :-)
I will admit I haven't read as many King Books as I have read Dean Koontz, but I like what I have read.

I just bought that one but haven't read it yet. Amazon had the Kindle version on sale for something like $1.99 last weekend.

Wow! It's been a while since I opened that one :-)
You are correct. John Saul was my introduction to the horror genre when I was a teenager. I might have to read me some John Saul in the near future for old times sake.

You can't beat that price. Much, much cheaper when I bought it many, many years ago.


It has to be at least 20 years since I read it. Saul was one of my first authors that I read. Along with King and Koontz. I kind have shied away from Saul and I figured it was time to revisit his work. I am loving this book. I am wondering why I stopped reading his books.

I think John Saul's writing lacks the depth of Dean Koontz and Stephen King, but I still enjoy a fun John Saul Horror Story :-)
John Saul has not published anything new since his 2009 release, House of Reckoning.

From what I've read by him I definitely agree!

That might be the reason why I stopped reading his books. Plus they all seem to involve children. He might be the type of author you visit every now and then instead of one after another.

I love time travel. I watched this movie, but I don't think I read the book - maybe I should. I have read Her Fearful Symmetry by Niffenegger twice.

I agree. The Taking has some very interesting ideas to think about :-) We will likely get to re-reading The Taking as a group in 2017 - I noticed it is coming up in the list of books to go on the poll.
I am currently reading Needful Things by Stephen King

I love this book. It gave me a peek into Dean's life as well. Made me feel happy.
