Recommendation for 2013 Best Books Reading Challenge

I liked The Great and Secret Show. It depends if you want something that is as much fantasy as horror though.
The Passage is a good read and then moves into The Twelve
Well, that was quick. We have a winner!It sounds like there is an overwhelming push for Carrion Comfort. Dan Simmons is one of my favorite Horror authors and I've only been putting this one off because of its length.
There is a slight problem, though. My dog got a hold of the book and ripped out a 2"x 2" chunk of 20 consecutive pages. Fortunately, it was a pretty neat extraction for dog teeth and I don't think I'm missing any words.
I'm going to give it a try. I've never really been a fan of vampirism, but perhaps this will change my mind.
There is a scene in CC where I am sitting on the edge of my seat, holding my breath, waiting for it to be over and for the character to make it out of there alive. It is an excellent book.
I hope you enjoy it, Andrew! Please let us know. :)
More than a month later and I'm finished. Phew... 5 stars, check out my review and thanks again for the recommendation.
I'm deciding what I want to read next...
The Terror, Swan Song, The Passage, or Carrion Comfort.
I might have to pick Carrion Comfort now. :)

All of those were great, except for The Passage, in my book. The Passage was ok, but there was a definite pacing problem. You cannot go wrong with any of your other choices. :)
Happy Reading!

I've got all of the other three you mentioned if you want to buddy up. High recommendations for Carrion Comfort.
I'm reading The Terror right now - I know I changed my mind. Lol. I'm open to reading any of them though - I have all of them too.
Cool, I've wanted to read that for awhile now. I'm gonna wait a bit though. I try not to read the same author twice in a row. Dunno why.
Feel free to drop a line or two when you eventually do read it. It is really - really good so far. I probably won't read Carrion Comfort immediately after but I will soon.
If you want to buddy read Swan Song or The Passage I'm good for those. I also have - from your list above - The Omen and The Great and Secret Show. Barker I read years ago and used to love but don't remember to much about it.

I have another book lined up first, so I could start this one end of the week, or early next week?
I'll join. And can start any time. Early next week is probably better for me though. I should be done with The Terror by then.
Mod
That works!!
I'll be sure to hang around and discuss with you. I'd love to talk about the book a bit more and see your reactions to some of the cooler parts of the book.
Mod
Great Andrew! :)
I intend to hang also would like to hear some reactions.

I have a copy of Carrion Co..."
Sounds great! I love being able to discuss a book with someone while reading it--sadly, very few in my area have any interest in my type of literature--LOL!
Someone should create a new Carrion Comfort buddy read thread. It might attract a few more readers.
Mod
Anyone can do it - I can if you want. You click on the folder name "Buddy Reads". A list of all the topics filed under this folder should show up in a straight line. At the top is a link labeled "new topic" - click on this and it will put you in the place to create your new topic. It doesn't look much different than when you post a comment.
All set. The thread is called, "Carrion Comfort, 2013" and can be found in the Buddy Reads section.
The Great and Secret Show
House of Leaves
The Passage
The Omen
Rosemary's Baby
Midnight (Koontz)
Black Butterflies
Desperation
Carrion Comfort
Any suggestions will be appreciated. I will make my decision later today in time for evening reading time. Thanks!
