I find reading a couple of stories at a time and I feel like I need to step away. There always seems to be something left to chew on after reading one. Not speaking specifically about this collection, "The Hospice," "The Inner Room," "The Visiting Star" and "Ringing the Changes" are excellent stories.
Recently finished The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix. Strong, strong novel.
Currently reading The Supernatural Enhancements by Edgar Cantero and enjoying it quite a bit.

I enjoyed the collection but as you say Randy, there’s something to think about after reading one.

They Thirst
A modern-day penny dreadful—enormously fun to read. I don’t know why it’s not better-known than certain other contemporary vampire “classics” I could name.

They Thirst was a blast!
I recently finished up


I also finished listening to McCammon's latest:



The Innswich Horror - Edward Lee
Really fun, pulpy sequel-of-sorts to Lovecraft's "The Shadow Over Innsmouth."




Bought that on a whim. I'll be interested in hearing what you think.

I enjoyed it! Review is up now.
Malfi is one of those authors who seems to consistently deliver, imo.

A good, page-turning sort of read, as expected from this reliable writer. But it was a mite overlong and the ending wasn’t totally satisfactory. Call it a 3.5.


Hell Train - Christopher Fowler
What a total delight this novel is! Anyone who loves vintage Hammer Studio horror films or stories set on trains--and I love both--needs to read this.


loved this book in the series in particular! had great classic/gothic horror vibes. <3"
That series has been on my TBR since it first started. Story of my life, really.

I really enjoyed it, too. It's a good story wrapped around an affection for and understanding of what Hammer did and was good at, while occasionally poking fun at same.

ha ha, i relate so hard to that. the first one had been on my tbr for a while. i started organizing my tbr shelf by page count so i could knock out a bunch of the shorter reads + my library recently made the whole series available digitally. now i wish i'd taken the time to read them sooner because i'm enjoying them so much. :D



If You Could See Me Now by Peter Straub
It's astounding what a classy and high quality author Peter Straub is. So far, I've onl..."
I'd recommend


Glad you enjoyed it, Ian!
