Currently I'm reading Skitter by Ezekiel Boone, after reading The Hatching; and will follow this with the finale, Zero Day. So getting a nice killer spider fix in. I have really enjoyed these books so far, really fast paced and captivating. Not overly scary, more action packed but im not overly scared of spiders so that might be against me here.

"The Great God Pan" by Arthur Machen.
Short book - a novella really. I'm halfway through.
Pretty creepy and disturbing so far.

[Scott]

I usually read three or four books at a time, unless something really grips me. Currently I'm reading.
Wind Through the Fence: And Other Stories - Jonathan Maberry
Where The Sun Goes to Die - James A. Moore
From the Dust Returned - Ray Bradbury
these are all short story compilations, and I'm reading the fantasy novel.

The Dragon's Path - Daniel Abrahams

I doubt I'll be able to get to that before Aug. I wonder if watching the show will be enough?

An old favorite of mine.

When I have time I'm reading Perchance to Dream, a story collection by Charles Beaumont. He was one of the scriptwriters for the original Twilight Zone and a fine fantasy/horror writer in the magazines of the time.

[Monica]

I started . Reading way too many books right now, need to finish some.

[Ctgt]

Just started The Boatman's Daughter also slowly going through The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All

[Karen]

Just began reading The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life. Seems somehow appropriate at this time...

[Christopher]

by Dorothy B. Hughes, a hardboiled noir writer I have somehow never read until now.

[Randy]

Haven't read that one, Christopher, but and are both very good.

[Christopher]

Thanks for the recs, Randy! And I hope you check out Tessier’s stories.

[Christopher]

...and now I’m on to .

[Alan]

40% done and I'm so not loving it. At all.

[Christopher]

Diane Setterfield’s Once Upon a River. I really liked her novels The Thirteenth Tale and Bellman & Black, so I have high hopes for this.

[Christopher]

And A Different Wolf, poems by Deborah-Anne Tunney on the subject of Alfred Hitchcock.

[WendyB]

Only about 30 pages in and loving it.

[Rachel]

[Aiden]

I am balancing a stack, but these are two are at the forefront:

The Raven has been knocking it out of the park thus far.

Dust has been quite strong. It packs a punch, that's for sure.

I, like you, never made it past the first one. I'll be interested to hear your take.

This one is actually a reread for me. This time I'm reading it to my SO. (We're doing a thing where we read one of our favorite books to each other.) But I loved it when I read it last year! Really looking forward to reading more of David Mitchell's work. :)
