Just read Come With Me by Malti based on jacket reviews. This has no horror/terror in it at all as boasted. 😖

Liminal Spaces: An Anthology of Dark Speculative Fiction edited by Kevin Lucia. Just finished a mind-twisting cosmic horror piece, Michael Wehunt's "O Adelin."

I love those Valancourt book covers! Was that one nominated for a Stoker, Christopher?

i believe it's currently on the "long list," so not officially nominated yet. Should be.

Oh, that's right! Long listed, yes.
I'm starting
Haunted Houses: Chilling Tales From 26 American Homes, Fourth EditionReading about the Winchester Mystery House currently, but there are very interesting stories so far!
The Last Republicans: Inside the Extraordinary Relationship Between George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush by Mark K. Updegrove
I love just about every book Konrath writes and this is no exception. Just started it and I'm already both laughing my a** off and worried for some of my fav characters.

I have laughed my way through most of the Jack Daniels series. :)
I'm always reading several books at the same time. Currently reading The Luminous Dead, The Chestnut Man, The Wanderers and a few others. The Chestnut Man and The Wanderers are definitely demanding my attention.

If you like Jack Daniels you'll also like the rest of Konrath's books. So many of the characters turn up all over the place, it gets to be like visiting old friends. And the humor helps to offset some of the really disturbing scenes.
I've actually seen in reviews that some people don't like Harry McGlade. Over time, he's become one of my fav characters. Granted, most of the time I'm either laughing myself silly at something he's said or cringing with my hand over my face at something he's done (but still laughing). I get the feeling he's Konrath's fav character to write.

I totally agree with you about Harry! I love Harry! Yeah I have seen that too in reviews that people don't seem to like him, but he is definitely one of my favorite characters in the Jack Daniels series. Harry is #1 - Jack is #2 and Herb is #3. I can laugh my ass off all day with Harry. He can definitely break up the tensions and suspense in this series.
Harry has his own book too which I want to read. This is the book that stars Harry: Babe on Board
gods with a little gIt's not horror, but I'm enjoying this one all the same! I plan on reading this when done, though: This Thing Between Us
A big thick book that I've been wanting to read for a long time. May take a while to get through because there are several other books I'm currently reading and I want to read the group read books in March too.
Can I clone myself? lol
Tender is the Flesh...wow, this one really is a tough one. I see what's behind the story and it is damn well written but reading it makes me literally sick. I can't remember any book causing this reaction in me, only the movies Cannibal Holocaust and the D-Day segment of Saving Private Ryan did so before. But this reaction is of course wanted by the author and it is a strong book...only maybe not one I can read again (at least not soon).
