Levi Stoltzfus series by Brian keene buddy read (spoiler warning)
You know I am definitely in my friend. Thank you for creating this topic. I have been waiting a long time to start this series by Brian Keene. The books in this series is
1. Dark Hollow
2. Ghost Walk
3. A Gathering of Crows
4. Last of the Albatwitches
5. Darkness on the Edge of Town
(Number 5 is a spin off / alternate reality of Ghost Walk. We should read it after Last of the Albatwitches)
I'm in! I've read the first two, so will follow along without spoiling anything, and then join in the live read of Last of the Albatwitches.
Awesome! This is very exciting! We got a nice online treat from Brian Keene:

That Facebook article is an excerpt from the first draft of next year's new Levi Stoltzfus novel, INVISIBLE MONSTERS, which takes place one month after the events of LAST OF THE ALBATWITCHES (which is on sale now).
Ok Kaisersoze your in also, I add your name to our list.Jonathan will be our designated Brian Keen Mythos encyclopaedia and researcher ! What's a Noden my friend ?
Nodens is one of the most powerful of the Thirteen. More powerful then Ob or Leviathan. :) Can you capitalize the L in Levi and the S in his last name for the title topic? Names are power as Brian Keene's Black Lodge members always say.
Excellent online article about Levi: https://authorbobfreeman.wordpress.co...
I am a obsessed fan.
Thanks Mehmet! I know I am terrible! The next two Levi novels are Invisible Monsters and Bad Ground.
Levi's story will end with Bad Ground. Invisible Monsters is due out next year. Link: http://www.briankeene.com/2013/05/02/...
I brought Darkness on the edge of town, because I liked the sound of the story, little did I know it was to be connected to this buddy read ! Wow life is like connect the dots sometimes ;-)
I've read the first one and have the next two in the series. I'll join in when u guys start Ghost Walk.
Hello Addy been a while since our last Buddy read. Nice for you to join in :-) feel welcome to pop in and chat, anytime. No need to wait, i keep our progression on the books updated on the thread. Welcome once again :-)
Thank you! It has been a while huh? Excited to join you all. Keene is fantastic! Can't wait to get this going:) I'll be chiming in for sure.
I agree Brian Keene is a great author, I find his story lines have great imagination and are fun to read. The group HA introduced me to Brian Keene and my great friend Jonathan showed me Brian Keene Mythos universe in which a lot of his series are connected into and linked. For example the Book Clickers vs Zombies had a guest appearance of Levi Stoltzfus, albeit a alternate universe version. This is fun when you reading, it adds to the enjoyment. It also brings depth into the novels and makes you think long after you finish.
Awesome! Welcome to the group Addy! I would like to thank Mehmet as well. It was his idea to read Earthworm Gods last Spring and since then I learned so much about more about Brian Keene's Labyrinth mythos! The fun part is that you can start anywhere with any of his various series or standalone books and still connect the various dots that tie his work together.
Mehmet said it best though, this is all a lot of fun.
Jonathan we still planning on reading Swan Song after Levi Stoltzfus series ?
Yeah. I am thinking February or March we will finish the Levi series. I am happy to start then! Are we reading Darkness on the Edge of Town after Last of The Abatwitches? I have been saving that book to read for our buddy read!
^_^
Yep :-) I actually revised the first thread and included the book Darkness on the edge of town. So no worries Jonathan it is all part of the buddy read. That is cool, I been looking forward to read Swan song for ages. I got a old edition that I found in a 2nd hand book stall in Bath (a famous town in West England which has a Roman bath still intact).
Nice. I got a copy of Swan Song too. It a nice size book, longer then King Blood. We should go back to the Apocalypse Whenever forum for that one and say hello to our old pal Gertie. :)
I agree Jonathan, the book suits that group perfectly. Must not forget our friends from the king blood buddy read :-)
Would it be cool if we read the Dead Sea series together after we read Swan Song Mehmet? Then if you aren't sick of me by then, maybe we can read the Metro 2033 series. There are a lot of books I want to read in 2015. 
;)
Of course Jonathan, I been wanting to read Dead Sea as have the two books on my Kindle. Never heard of Metro 2033, though I always open to try new books ! I also have lots of books I want to read in 2015.
Yeah Dead Sea and Entombed :-) believe they follow each other.
That sounds great! I am thankful to have a reading buddy for those books! :)
Believe me Jonathan I am thankful just as much :-) we should have lots of fun, with so many great books !
I'll join in on the buddy read. I've read Dark Hollow and Ghost Walk already, but I'll just re-read them. I don't have A Gathering of Crows or The Last of the Albatwitches yet, but I'll try to get them soon. I have Darkness on the Edge of Town, but haven't read it yet.
Im in. Thought I have read all these books. Would still love to read them again and join in on the conversations.
Welcome Eden and Adam :-) thanks for joining us and it must be a good sign that you be rereading the books.
Your names have been added my friends.
I've never read Keene. I know, I know, it's a disgrace.If these books are a good place to start, then I'm in.
You guys know better than me, so let me know.
Hey Mr East,sleep,left, read you are more then welcome to join, his books are quite flexible so you could start anywhere to be honest. You may miss out points regarding his world building which only comes over reading a mixture of his books. But do not let this deter you as our Brian Keene expect Jonathan is on hands to help, if you have any questions. So yes in answer to your question. You want to join ?
As Mehmet said you can really start anywhere.But Dark Hollow is the first in a series. So you can definitely start with this series and not feel lost at all. Don't worry though if you have any questions I will be more then happy to help out. I love talking about these books.
I plan on joining you guys for Dark Hollow next year. :)
Woohoo hello Kate :-) be fun having you join us ! I add your name no problem
Lovely stuff, welcome to our buddy read my friend :-) hope you enjoy Brian Keene as much as we do !
Welcome to everyone! I can't say enough how thankful I am for everyone joining! :)
Got a nice group going here Jonathan :-)
Great idea, guys. Thanks for getting this going, Jonathan. I've done all the Levi books but DARKNESS, and I look forward to digging into that one soon. Levi is one of the best characters in modern horror.
You are welcome to join in anytime you like my friend :-) you going to read darkness on the edge of town with us ? I can add your name or if you prefer in your own time and just join in the discussion ?
Feel free to add my name, Mehmet. And thank you for your kind welcome! I'm a big Keene fan and love it when others appreciate his work.
I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas for tomorrow and hope you are all happy and safe on this holiday. Looking forward to the buddy read with you all :-)
Thank you! Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone! I am so looking forward to this buddy read so much!
