I did enjoy it. Finished it this morning. I did fell like it could have been a little more probing. It seemed a little like he was only giving what was available on the internet.
I hope he does one after the 80's.

He did leave me a bit unsatisfied. I will say that Rob Lowe's autobio/memoir was much better and contained a bit more about his costars, family and friends-among them many of the brat pack.
I just started Heroic Hearts anthology & I'm also about to start Machinehood for Sword and Laser, Between Two Fires & The Rats.

It sounds creepy. I added it to my Audible wish list.

Yes! I knew it looked familiar!

This will be my first, so, I'm ready for it. Vampire variant, and tattoos, so...o-key!!
I've read his Pine Deep trilogy, which was horror and I loved it. And then I've read his complete Joe Ledger series, via audio, and loved them all. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on INK.

If I could give my thoughts on Ink... it's not Maberry's best. I'm a hug fan of his books but that one fell flat for me. Too many whiny characters, too much repetition, too much rain. If you decide to read it, you'll understand that. :)
I have his newest book Kagen the Damned all ready to read. Hope to get to it this summer. Hope being the key word. Just too much piled up to read but they're happy piles!

That's actually the first cryptozoology/fortean topics book dedicated exclusively to Alaska that I am reading, but I figured it was probably a fortean wonderland.

Sorry about that. :(
You should still have a go at Ink. A lot of others have liked it.

Loved it!
My Jonathan Maberry people! I also have Ink on my list & already bought Kagen the Damned! I've read a lot of his books.

A favorite of mine.
Currently reading something dark, but not horror, As I Lay Dying.

I've read most of his books and the ones I haven't read yet I have copies of just waiting to go. Ink and Glimpse are the only two I haven't liked very much. Kagan looks very different from the books Maberry usually writes. I hope he hasn't given up horror. I'd love to see more books about Pine Deep or Joe Ledger.

I think JM plans to write 7 or 8 more Joe Ledger (Rogue Team International) books. I tend to listen to those very soon after they are released. I'll get around to the odd ones eventually. I loved the Pine Deep & V-Wars books too! His short stories are great! I also want to read Beneath the Skin: The Sam Hunter Collection Werewolf detective!

V Wars was great. I'd love more of those.
I have the Sam Hunter book on Kindle but haven't read it yet.

"Final Crisis" DC comics graphic novel. Reading it on DC Universe Infinite app. Ive been doing massive comics series reading on there since almost everything f4om DC is there. So thats been slowing down my regular prin6 reading. But hey, reading is reading, right?
I find it difficult to focus on longer works around the end of the school year, so I’m now reading two collections—one fiction, one nonfiction:
The Last Séance: Tales of the Supernatural
and
Ramsey Campbell, Certainly

To be honest, I was too caught up in the novels I was reading to even start!

I'm in the middle of Mock"s "The Little Woods".....I find its overwritten...not sure I want to read the other 2 books in the series....Jeff Mc

I listened to that one, Sonja, and I did enjoy it. I hope you do too.
