Horror Aficionados discussion

I do, too.
I've always had a soft spot for British fiction, particularly horror.

It's slightly cozy with a promise of eerie done really well :)

I'm very happy to be reading this with you guys!

Me too! I'm at 80% now and find myself wanting to slow down to savor the end!! I will be done by tonight and I'm sure I will be loving that last, final portion. :)

Me three! I had to force myself to close the book last night, so I could get some sleep!

After this, I'm going to be reading A Simple Plan because it just came in at the library, but then I will be reading Son of the Endless Night in a buddy read with Addy. I would love it if you could join us, Kasia! I think Jon saw the thread and popped in and said he would join in. All the cool kids will be there. ;)

I'm not as far ahead, although hope to make strides tonight or tomorrow am but i was pacing myself too, this one actually reads really fast.

Morning Charlene :)

Aww you make me smile, I think I will join in, a friend send me the ebook but I'm ordering a paperback, I like those goodies on paper when I can. It's long but I can do it, the book sounds very intriguing!

30% in... I'm really enjoying all the nuttiness happening now, its non stop crazy while the intro was so normal in contrast, it makes the surreal stand out in a good way, and not non-realistic stuff form page 1.

Yay! I'm excited! I'm going to set aside A Simple Plan and read the Farris book first. :) I think it's going to be great fun!

On topic, I just finished Creed and I loved it! It's my favorite Herbert book so far. I had so much fun with this read, I can hardly even tell you. :)

I have to agree.
This has been great fun. Both the book and the company. ;)

Exactly!!

I missed the start of this buddy read, so I'm just got my copy, and I'm starting today. Good fun so far...

Hope someone else is still reading!

Hi Katy, glad to see you here, this is such a great book, the more the better. I'm 50% in.

Sorry I've been mia today, somehow bf and I went for a walk and we came home with a new pet, this poor little sad looking overheated rabbit at a Petland Discounts made it's way home with us, never had a bunny before, he's adorable!

Even if I'm done, I still like to see what everyone else has to say. :)

Kasia, thanks for chiming in. Good to know I'm not the only one still reading, LOL!

I think rabbits make great pets. I had one for years. Congrats on the new addition to your household!

I grabbed copies of both Fog and Rats while I was ordering.

I thought both of those were s lot of fun, Katy!

Kasia, how exciting about the bunny! :)

Welcome, Katy!

I don't mind holding off discussion till everyone is finished.

BUNNY!!!!

I'm at 50% now, and I love what he's doing with the Nosferatu villain. So very very creepy. And the descriptions are so vivid.

He just got back from the meeting in the park.

And Cally isn't who she seemed...

The meeting in the park! Good stuff. :)

I guess I'm a bit late to the game for this one. I read Creed years ago, from memory it was quite good. I think my favourite Herbert book was Moon. I didn't much care for his later books.

Thank you guys, just getting to my comments, had a busy day with the new pet, he's so precious I cant stop thinking about his sweet little munchkin mouth! :)

Now I have to pick a name... hmmm

But reading suffered this weekend, not sure why I'm being such a turtle the book is flying! 60%

So (view spoiler)[ I was very surprised that Creed and Sammy both survived. <\spoiler>

I thought this was a very original book. Herbert took some recognizable characters and did very original things with them.

(view spoiler)[ And I liked that in the end he gave Prunella a shot at writing up the story. (What a name, poor girl!) (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I thought it was very creative as well! I was also surprised that both Creed and his son lived. Back in the 80's though, there were a lot of happy endings in horror, which is one thing from that time that I didn't always enjoy.
Did the dark humor work for you, Katy? For me, it's what elevated this book in my eyes. I found myself cracking up quite a few times. (hide spoiler)]

I really loved this book.
It rekindled my interest in reading more Herbert.

(view spoiler)[I can almost see Herbert chuckling to himself while he wrote this one (hide spoiler)]

80% in, I'm a snail lol!

But I love how the reader feels as if he/she was right there next to Creed the whole time, he really takes you with him, and like Jon said, makes me want to read Herbert more, next re-read will have to be The Magic Cottage, I still remember it fondly.

Oooh, I have that one!! Buddy read?
I could do it if we wait until a little later next month. :)

Count me in!

YAY! :)

:)

Hells yes :) we can do it anytime hopefully I won't be the slowest kid on the block again lol, will try to finish tonight.

Yay finished! Crazy at the end, that was little long but very imaginative.
