Sorry I just saw this, big hugs!"

Are you enjoying it, Kasia?"

It's incredible, both feels familiar and like something that I've never read before. So well written.

Lucky you. I read the Silver John short stories a few years back and enjoyed them quite a bit.

[Char]

Manly Wade Wellman has been on my TBR for years. Still haven't read anything from him.

[Randy]

Who Fears The Devil? was a very good collection of short stories. I also have the Baen, John the Balladeer which includes a few later stories as well. Again, good reading.

[Bo]

I am re-reading 'Salem's Lot by Stephen King. Part vampire plague story and part haunted house story, it's always been one of my favorites. I also re-watched both miniseries over the past couple of weeks,s o I may have a problem...

You don't know how lucky, Randy--I got the book (a very nice oversize illustrated paperback) free from the publisher. (I'd done him a little favor.) My only real knowledge of Wellman, other than a small handful of stories, comes from the Twilight Zone and Night Gallery adaptations of two of his works--your enthusiasm makes me even more eager to dig into this!

[Erin]

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Tales of Terror

[Randy]

With the Silver John stories, I found a gentle sort of personality coming up against supernatural threats. In a way they were more rural fantasy leaning toward horror than full-on horror. But he wrote a lot and I believe across a spectrum of fantastic fiction, so I can't really say what you'll find in that collections.

I hope you enjoy them.

[Ctgt]

Well said Randy. I really enjoy those Wellman stories.

[Kasia]

Just started The Hunting Party, judging from all the reading updates all the characters are awful lol!



The Hunting Party
by Lucy Foley

Everyone's invited...everyone's a suspect...

For fans of Ruth Ware and Tana French, a shivery, atmospheric, page-turning novel of psychological suspense in the tradition of Agatha Christie, in which a group of old college friends are snowed in at a hunting lodge . . . and murder and mayhem ensue.

All of them are friends. One of them is a killer.

[Christopher]

Started this yesterday, day-of-release...classic Campbell so far. Still on Wellman stories too.

[Monica]

I started a re read of Heart-shaped box by Joe Hill and reading Poems by Catullus.

That book truly has funny moments and truly creep ones as well.

[Christopher]

Having really liked Campbell’s I’m diving into his while also continuing with Wellman’s .

[Krystal]

Dabbling in historical crime for a bit with The King's Spy. Slow start though! I always find myself impatient for murder and mayhem in crime novels XD

[Kasia]

I read so much last week that I took a weekend off ( ok so I played Sims 4 for like 30 hours, sorry) from everything and now I have no idea what to read, usually that's my favorite part.

[[deleted user]]

Sounds familiar. My reading frenzy was interrupted by a curious new interest in playing old Resident Evil games.

Now starting:



The previous three Bryan Smith books I've read all had something with "kill" or "killing" in their title. An emerging pattern? Usually I say to myself "Just one more Bryan Smith novel, than I'll stop." It doesn't work...

Encyclopideia of Ghosts of Spirits I don't know the Author sorry if I can't spell

I've just finished reading The Haunting of Hill House for the first time, I haven't seen any of the films so it was all fresh and new for me. That opening and ending paragraph...

I've now just started reading *gulp* The Divine Comedy by Dante. I have the stunning Barnes & Noble gold-leafed, leather-bound edition full of all the gruesome illustrations.

Naomi, that book is in my top ten of all time. I think it has the best opening in all of literature.
