I loved it, actually. Five stars! A slow burn but with great cumulative power. I also highly recommend Grin of the Dark, which is in my top ten horror novels of all time.

I second The Grin of the Dark, one of the best horror novels I've read. Another slow burn, but when the implications of the story become clear, it's intense.
Currently reading stories from Conference with the Dead by Terry Lamsley

I did enjoy it! Especially Sean Penn's performance. And that of Tim Robbins.
I'm currently reading an author's debut novel: Jackal
. I'm also reading a new release from Valancourt, it was translated from the original Italian:
. The first story blew me away.Lastly, I'm listening to a previously unpublished release from Katherine Dunn, the author of Geek Love.

Jackal looks so good, it's been coming up on all of my recommended book emails the past few days.

The Villa
Inspired by Fleetwood Mac, the Manson murders, and the infamous summer Percy and Mary Shelley spent with Lord Byron at a Lake Geneva castle––the birthplace of Frankenstein––The Villa welcomes you into its deadly legacy.

Monica I read the book and saw the movie. I couldn’t put down the book. Have you read gone, baby, gone by the same author? Another winner.

This is my first. So, I am hoping to become a fan.

They Both Die at the End and Misery. It's a stark contrast but oh well!
I finished On Pointe yesterday and am now thinking about reading Dying by Arthur Schnitzler

Started The girl on the train by Paula Hawkins. These thrillers read so quickly, I understand how people fly through them.
Erin wrote: "Night Shift is great, hope you enjoy it."I'm around 70% in and am really enjoying all of the stories in this collection! That being said, it's taking me forever to get through it - I'm so bad at consistently picking up short story collections!

Fevre Dream"This was a really good read. Hope you enjoy."
I'm now about half way through and I have to say I'm really impressed with the quality of the writing and the story.
Mod
Yes, and after you finish one you want to read another right away :)

Fellstones by Ramsey Campbell
Hoping to get out of a serious slump with a brand-new novel by my favorite living writer!"
Did you like Fellstones, Christopher? I haven't read anything by Campbell in years, although I have The Grin of the Dark in my TBR pile. That one sounds folk horror-ish, which is right up my alley.
