Joe (jp490) | 6 comments Salem's Lot.

Loving it so far. About 30% of the way in. Love the intricate details of each character, the setting. Everything.

Couldn't sleep the other night and made the terrible mistake of trying to read this alone at 3:30am. I do not recommend doing that if you value dreams over nightmares.

How does it read? I've been intrested in it but the formatting makes it seem like a difficult read?

Salem's Lot is definitely a favorite of mine and I've read it 2-3 times now. It never fails to scare, even when I already know what's going to happen.

Half way through The Last House on Needless Street The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward by Catriona Ward, which is also a group read this month, really into it, it's odd and intense and keeps pulling you in for a little more every time you want to close it.

I've only just started the other day, but things are already getting weirder, and I'm excited to see where this goes!

Monster, She Wrote: The Women Who Pioneered Horror and Speculative Fiction is from Quirk Books. I don't know if the two publishers are connected, but Valancourt's ties to two Quirk publications, Monster and Paperbacks from Hell: The Twisted History of '70s and '80s Horror Fiction, have spawned some very good books. I plan on picking up The Bishop of Hell and Other Stories and I've already read and greatly enjoyed The Dead Hours of Night and A Nest of Nightmares.

Sabine | 93 comments I started reading 'Salem's Lot last night. I read it years ago, but can't remember much about it, so I'm looking forward to a re-read. Plus it seemed like a good choice for October!

I'm jumping between two totally opposite genres, one is

The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne which is a Norse high fantasy and it's really hitting the spot right now.
The Shadow of the Gods
The Shadow of the Gods (The Bloodsworn Saga, #1) by John Gwynne


And Midnight From Beyond the Stars by Kenneth W. Cain, a space horror anthology which has been hella good, at night I have to peel myself away from it because I read way too late.

Been interested in that one too but I'm also a bit squeamish about it. And since I have so much to read right now I'll wait a bit and think about it.

Navi (nvsahota) | 106 comments Tender Is the Flesh was brilliant. A 5-star read for me!

Oops, got them confused, I guess. I can simplify by saying I want to read ALL the books. ;)

Navi (nvsahota) | 106 comments Currently reading:

Sisters by Daisy Johnson - 30% in. I was wary because of the low average rating on Goodreads but so far so good!

Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons - still plugging away at this tome (it's almost 900 pages). I'm enjoying taking my time with this read.

Autumncrow by Cameron Chaney - This is a great short story collection that will get you in the mood for Halloween. On Kindle Unlimited!

message 896: by Monica (new)

Monica Go | 894 comments I started The troop. and still on Something wicked this way comes. I struggle with the writing style; long sentences; it needs more punctuation I feel. ..I don't know.

Randy Money | 432 comments Just read. There's a rhythm to Bradbury's prose that will carry you along if you find it and just float along it.

The other option: Set it aside for a week or two then start over. By that time you may find you've adjusted to that rhythm and have little trouble following it.

I was feeling like it was something like that. I just have to find the rhythm. I wouldn't want to put it aside, I want to be immersed in it. I had trouble at the beginning even my first time reading it, don't know why I can't find it.

Sarah Hill (sassyhill) | 154 comments Earthbound by Flynn Perry. Well written and interesting so far.
