Current Reading 'Meg' by Steve Altenhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
However, I'm in my fist editing round of 'Signed in Blood'. So technically speaking, I'm reading that as well. LOL!

it's really good so far! i'm only about 30% into it, but the set up has been great, and the tension is already palpable.

I started Joe Lansdale's latest, a collection of stories about Hap and Leonard, most of which have been published elsewhere over the years. Born for Trouble: The Further Adventures of Hap and Leonard
About to start "Dead Silence" by S.A. Barnes tonight!
Classic, Stephanie! I haven't read that one, but I read The House on the Borderland and Other Novels and that was one messed up story.
I"ve been reading
The Violence by Delilah S. Dawson and I've just started listening to
Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune
If you ever get a chance, try Hodgson's short story, "The Voice in the Night".
I finished Walden and what an experience it was..

Currently reading Peter Straub's GHOST STORY. I remember the trailer for the movie adaptation coming on TV when I was a kid and it scaring the hell out of me. Still haven't seen the movie, but 40 or so years later I cracked the novel. Almost finished it now (...and it was worth the wait!) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

As for the movie, sure, watch it, but it doesn't do justice to the book. Which is too bad because the older actors put in good performances -- the last for Douglas and Astaire -- though the movie is stolen by Alice Krige. By rights, it should have been a star vehicle for her.

Kasia wrote: "How are you liking this one Rachel?"it's great so far! i've been sucked right into this story, as i always am with blake crouch's books, ha ha.
I'm on the fourth book in The mortal instruments series City of fallen angels.
About to start ""Man, Fuck This House" by Brian Asman :-)
Also started the last book in Mybrilliant friend series.
Novel about the low-life and misadventures of German serial killer Fritz Honka. The movie The Golden Glove was based upon the book. It is my first contact with author Heinz Strunk, who usually seems to write in the comedy/humor/satire sector.

About to start "The Girl on the Porch" by Richard Chizmar as it's a very short story/novella but one of my new favorite authors :-)
I just finished Man-Beast by Deborah Sheldon, about a travelling troupe of boxers in early 20th century Australia and a clan of sasquatch-like creatures who live in the hills. It's fun and violent and a great read!
