Currently reading The City of Dr Moreau






Years since I read that, but I recall enjoying it. I think I still have the Tor pb.


Reading



Oooh, I liked that one! Hope you do too."
Some really fine stories so far! Favorites include stories by Seanan McGuire, Sarah Langan, and Joe R. Lansdale.

I started reading this series around Christmas a few years back and it's become a bit of a tradition with me now to read Jack Daniels in December.

Those Jack Daniel’s books are fun. I need to pick up where I left off on those.

I've only read the first 30 pages and it's hilarious and creepy. Konrath says in the beginning that he needed to get back to fun with the series here because the last book was so dark.

This has been on my TBR for a while, so I finally got my copy yesterday and about 25pages in, so far interesting.
"Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission--and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish..."
I had to update earth to Earth in the GR description, it was copied from Amazon and they also have in incorrectly, lol. Whoopsies.

Started and finished today. If you like demon possession stories but you're sick of the dramatized and slow moving tropes, I can't recommend it enough! Just creepy and sad and really good

I knew you're making some masterpiece in your kitchen! I had a sandwich and some grapes.

Our Trespasses
Drowning in a meaningless existence flipping burgers, Matthew Davis suddenly collapses from a powerful psychic connection he shares with his twin brother, Jake. The pain is violent and immediate, and Matt knows exactly what it means… hundreds of miles away, Jake has been viciously killed. But instead of severing their connection, the murder intensifies it and Matt begins to suffer the agony of Jake’s afterlife.

Good stuff. Particularly "The Willows" which I've read 3 or 4 times, always impressed with how good it is.
I'm currently reading another of E. F. Bleiler's edited Dover books, The Collected Ghost Stories of Mrs. J.H. Riddell



Good stuff. Particularly "The Willows" which..."
In the middle of The Willows right now. Amazing how Blackwood is making nature a full-force entity.
Ms. Riddell sure was an interesting person. Just read her bio here on gr. I’d not heard of her before.

Great book!

I definitely managed to do some season reading this year. Actually, it seems like I have read this book before and totally forgot how awesome it is.
