What Are You Currently Reading - 2022

Comparatively tame by Bentley Little standards, and it also feels a bit more like mystery than horror.

Malfi has great writing style, very easy to read and the story usually moves along nicely.

Whew, that's some dense stuff, right there."
True, but I loved Greek mythology when I was a kid. I was surprised to realize I had never read it.


So I needed to give myself a little bitty break from dark fiction. Is this ever a change of pace! I'm actually loving it, but I'm also ready to get back into something creepy, dark, and disturbing 😄



That looks interesting!


I've started this one which comes out on Tuesday. I'm only about 20 pages in and I'm already unsettled. This appears to be a home invasion book told by one of the invaders that looks on his antics as performance art.


The Great Gatsby retold with a Vietnamese narrator and some fantasy elements. So far I am uncomfortable with how much of this book is simply Fitzgerald's novel typed out more or less word-for-word--the dialogue, anyway.

I hope so! I like the layout of the book (told in e-mails, etc.).

I loved this book."
Me Too! I just voted for it for some Dragon thing! ;-)

Omg a fellow Edward Lee fanite. Ive read almost everything from him. Unfortunately, he's slowed down his writing quite a bit over the pas8-9 years or so.

Adding a link/picture: above the commentary box you see in tiny green letters 'add book/author'. Click on that and you get a small pop up window in which you can type the title. Click on 'search'. Find the correct title from the resulting list andclick on 'add' - at the bottom of the list you can choose between 'cover' or 'link'. It is best to choose both - you'll have to repeat the action then because you cannot choose both at the same time. Please always include the link because the cover alone is often not readable for people with seeing problems. I for instance have no idea which book you are reading now. I only see a hand ;-)


(Review to follow)
I wanted something light and simple so I'm reading The Accident by Daniel Hurst

Far be it from me to say which one, but either works for sure just as well for myself.
My fave edward lee lovecraft inspired novel is "The Haunter of the Threshold"

Those are both very good books

I recommend reading Hell House

Seems like I shelved it as "read", back in 2019, but I have no recolletion of actually reading it. 2019 was a troublesome year for me...
