OK I had to start reading Burnt Offerings, all your fault Kimberly and Char ( great reviews btw) also today is my 1 year anniversary to moving into a house in Long Island so quite fitting. I should celebrate and finish unpacking all my books lol.

I’m enjoying it so far, but I’m having trouble keeping the images from the old 1970s B-movie out of my head as I read. It wasn’t a very good film, but it was written by my old pal William F. Nolan and I’ve always had sort of a soft spot for it.

Enjoy!!!

WOOT!"
The House Across the Lake was so good! 5 stars!
I'm almost done with Ninth House which I'm liking a lot too!


The Hunger, and Other Stories
A re-read of the first collection by Twilight Zone writer Charles Beaumont. Some of these stories I know very well, while others I haven’t looked at in decades.

update: Not finished yet. It's well written and not uninteresting but there needs to be more horror, more sense of impending doom or at least some creepiness. I was expecting something a little bit scary. :(

I am so sorry, but I hated that Cantero book. I hope it works better for you!

LOLOLOL

Hey, I still get books from the library all the time! Sometimes digital, sometimes in person. You aren't alone!

I agree.
It looked like a book that should be good but I couldn't finish it.

I'm bogging down a bit in the cryptography section. I see what he's trying to do, but don't have the attention span to follow it too closely.
Still, I like the quotidian (we'll get a dog!) mixed with the supernatural and mystical (crystal balls), and the irreverence of A.'s tone of voice. That tone deflates some of the melodrama you can get with haunted house novels.

Different--I'm only 55 pages in, but enjoying it so far.

I'm spacing out my reading of them so I don't burn out on him, but also because so many longer works are all but yelling at me to read them.
Speaking of which, Burnt Offerings has been sitting on Mount TBR a looong time.
Anyway, just started The Supernatural Enhancements by Edgar Cantero. So far, intriguing.
