[Mehmet]

We are starting Sunday Jonathan, 1st March. Just checked the first post and yes Kaisersoze should be joining us for next book :-) better let him know ! Thanks for reminding me.

[Mehmet]

I sent a message to Kaisersoze :-)

[Kaisersoze]

Yes he is!

Thanks for the reminder messages, guys.

[Mehmet]

No problem :) looks like we all ready to rock and roll, just have to wait now..... Ho hum and twiddle my thumbs :-D

I watched that when it came on Adult Swim. It was funny, but definitely strange lol

The Albawitches is bloody expensive on Kindle

4 quid for less than two hundred pages.

[Mehmet]

Hope it cheers you up ESLR to know its still cheaper then buying in Paperback on Amazon.

I don't mind paying for physical books. I'd happily pay the asking price. Overpriced ebooks make me rage.

[Mehmet]

Do not buy it if upsets you so much stick to the real books ESLR. Do not feel like you have to buy something to join our buddy read. Much rather you be happy and comfortable with what you get.

[Mehmet]

I always buy the physical books when I can, but certain authors are not sold in UK bookshop a so much. So I then get the kindle versions. Not really sure how they work out the cost of E books as they are quite erratic. The editing does not seem quiet as professional. I am happy with deadlite press as they seem reasonable generally.

[Jonathan]

I only get paperbacks unless it is way cheaper to get them on Kindle. For example I got Shades on my Kindle because the hardcover is out of print and expensive on the secondary market.

Has anyone been to the movies lately? I saw Wyrmwood and it was a lot of fun. Link: http://youtu.be/bESob6LPkA0

Anyone else check this one out yet?

[Mehmet]

Not heard of the movie yet ! But it looks interesting:-) may watch it if can find it on DVD. Today is start date of our buddy read. I started it last night. But will read properly tonight after work. Hope everyone is ok :-)

Does anyone else here use Spotify? It's free I believe.

Brian Keene made a few playlists that are "soundtracks" to some of his books. I didn't notice this before, but a few of the songs on some of his playlists are the titles of some of his short stories

The playlist "The End" is a reference to his Labyrinth series which was suppose to be written when Brian Keene was done with his writing career. My favorite song on that playlist is one that is the theme to Nodens from Ghost Walk....

And I'm starting with Last of the Albatwitches - finally!

[Jonathan]

Finished Last of the Albatwitches last night.

I loved it and I can't wait for the next book Invisible Monsters to come out next. If you want a sneak peak at Invisible Monsters you can check out this post located here:https://www.facebook.com/permalink.ph...

And another sneak peak for Invisible Monsters is located here:

I wouldn't read either of those without reading Last of the Albatwitches first.

Still waiting for Darkness on the Edge of Town to come in the mail. I loaned my old one to a close friend and she is on vacation in Hawaii.

[Shania]

I use Spotify.

[Kaisersoze]

I liked The Witching Tree, but so far, Last of the Albatwitches has a lot of repeat info in it. Which is odd when they're combined in this manner.

[Mehmet]

It true I felt the same Kaisersoze

GOC

(view spoiler)[ why introduce the kid with similar 'powers' as Levi but do absolutely F'all with him in the story? (hide spoiler)]

[Jonathan]

Darkness on the Edge of Town was absolutely amazing! I finished it today.

Any one else plan on reading Darkness on the Edge of Town?

I read it and really enjoyed it.

[Mehmet]

I finished Darkness on edge of town and found it very creepy. The atmosphere he created of feeling trapped and stuck was spot on.

[Mehmet]

claustrophobic is the word I am after :-)

[Eat.Sleep.Lift.Read.]

Read the first story in Albatwitches - meh. Here's hoping the second one is better.

(view spoiler)[Not sure really. He's gone back and revisited some things that were mentioned in The Witching Tree. Maybe he'll bring the kid back. Ultimately I'm not too bothered by it though, there are so many unanswered questions about Levi Stoltizfus that I would rather the final two novels focus on him anyway.

Honestly it seems like it was a plot thread that was abandoned though. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ It just seemed strange. Have the kid help out Levi or die or do something useful...not just sit around like a shrivelled ball sack. Anyways, no biggie. (hide spoiler)]

[Jonathan]

Eat.Sleep.Lift.Read. wrote:

I agree.

(view spoiler)[I thought the kid was going to die, which would of added to Levi's guilt. Here is to hoping Invisible Monsters delivers on what this is all building up toward. ;-) (hide spoiler)]

[Kaisersoze]

I liked both stories in Last of the Albatwitches, though less because they were good Levi stories, and more because they signified the beginning of Keene's end game. The throwbacks to his other works also worked for me, but then I guess that's why I'm such a fanboy. (Though not as big a fanboy as Jonathan with his three questions answered on the The Horror Show podcast a couple of weeks back!)

You heard that huh? I have been graciously taking good care of my fanboy award ever since it was bestowed to me by Brian himself!! ;-)
