Aw thank you, hopefully it passes soon.

Your read look interesting!"

I didn't care much for it, unfortunately.

Just finished One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, my thoughts on this one.

I just finished One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest a few days ago as well. I read it on audiobook. I did read it, or parts of it in high school. I thought I should reread it.

I agree with your review. I remember some things as being different in the book, as well as the narration. Films weren’t as big on voice narrators in those days.

I'm starting Blacktop Wasteland by S A Cosby

Just finished reading "The Last House on Needless Street." I had some pretty strong opinions about it, but I'll link to my article about it because those opinions can't be discussed without heavy spoilers.

Also read "Transmuted" by Eve Harms in like a day. The first two acts were basically a 2021 Kafka and had some really great body horror stuff. The ending was cartoonish and a little disappointing though. Didn't ruin the experience for me, but definitely kept me from making it one of my favorites.

Reading "White Smoke" now. I haven't read a lot of YA horror, but this one is pretty good so far. It's kind of nice to read something so breezy. Some kind of regular horror movie tropes so far, but I actually don't dislike that. I feel like a lot of the horror I've read tries really hard to be innovative and wanders away from the staples of the genre. Feels good to basically read a haunted house story.

I'm reading The night of the solstice by Lisa Jane Smith.

There is a certain percentage of bigfoot-type entity encounters on record in wich the experience featured strange elements other than hairy, apelike hominids, like power failures, UFO sightings, and ESP.
Those type of reports interest me the most. I am pretty early in the (so far) two volume book, but while the author suggests Bigfoot researchers should be open minded towards extraordinary reports, they should also be careful about already closed paranormal belief systems, like "Bigfoot is a messenger from the Star People and here to help humanity". I think that is a huge plus to begin with...

Thank you for recommending Claymore Seb, I finished vol1 and 2 yesterday and got a good start on the 3rd. I think this was what I needed, really appreciate your recommendation. I was just calculating what buying all 27 volumes will cost me lol.

"I've now made this my 57th King read and I really enjoyed it, it's a great book and the writing is excellent."

57! Wow, impressive.

Just started I Married a Lizardman by Regine Abel;

I just finished CARNAGE ELECTRIC ...
It's a mix of gothic horror with cyberpunk and somehow it works fabulously! It's truly unsettling. I couldn't help but ask myself some truly controversial questions throughout this horror trip...

It's a brainy read, yes, but it leaves you with a new mindset... Deffo check it out!

My Mind Electric: a philosophical sci-fi horror novel

[Andrew]

We Sold Our Souls - Grady Hendrix. I truly loved Horrorstor, and the rest of his writing does not disappoint.

[Badseedgirl]

I finished Murder on the Home Front: A True Story of Morgues, Murderers, and Mysteries During the London Blitz my impression... meh. But review will follow. I understand this was made into a BBC or Netflix series(can't remember which, to lazy to look it up :) ), was the series any good my, UK homies?

[Badseedgirl]

just starting The Ritual I have already seen the movie, but there is definitely some major plot differences. So far, so good on the book. The creep factor is pretty high. But all the horror has mostly been only hinted at. Who doesn't love a buddy road trip gone bad?

[Alan]

The Book of Accidents
Just started it, and pretty good though confusing thus far, but early on hit one of my biggest pet peeves. Family moves to new place, kid just meets some kids at school (nerds) he has stuff in common with and, WHAM, here come the jock bullies. Seriously, when are writers going to find something other than high school bullies for the overused trope.....

Badseedgirl, I saw the series a few years ago. It was ok. It was on masterpiece theatre or mystery.

[Angela]

Now reading No One's Home . So far suitably creepy.

Just beginning Kill Creek by Scott Thomas. Only a few pages in, but it's already grabbed my attention.

[Kellie]

I am beginning a new one today. It's Final Exam

The Creature: Personal Experiences With Bigfoot

A comparatively obscure account of a scientist's interaction with a hairy hominid crature. I am not sure if the book was ever supposed to be a non-fictional true account in the first place... I think Loren Coleman and some of his colleague at least considered it to contain authentic information.

[Marie]

I am reading:

Sharkwater Beach

Rusty Nail

I remember reading a piece from Ray Garton back in the day about the Warrens, but I can't find it. I did find this though:

I still enjoy the movies for the entertainment though.
