However, I'm in my fist editing round of 'Signed in Blood'. So technically speaking, I'm reading that as well. LOL!

i've liked what i've read so far! this is my first john langan collection, but i loved the fisherman by him. i'm hoping to catch a similar feel from some of these stories.

it's really good so far! i'm only about 30% into it, but the set up has been great, and the tension is already palpable.

I want to read that John Langan so bad!

I started Joe Lansdale's latest, a collection of stories about Hap and Leonard, most of which have been published elsewhere over the years. Born for Trouble: The Further Adventures of Hap and Leonard

World Without End

The Unfleshed: Tale of the Autopsic Bride

About to start "Dead Silence" by S.A. Barnes tonight!

The Boats of the 'Glen Carrig' by William Hope Hodgson

Classic, Stephanie! I haven't read that one, but I read The House on the Borderland and Other Novels and that was one messed up story.

I"ve been reading The Violence by Delilah S. Dawson and I've just started listening to Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune

If you ever get a chance, try Hodgson's short story, "The Voice in the Night".

Hey, Randy! Thank you.

I finished Walden and what an experience it was..

Started Strangers on a Bridge: The Case of Colonel Abel and Francis Gary Powers

What an amazing story "House on the Borderland" is. There are images in it that I don't think I'll ever get out of my mind.

Currently reading Peter Straub's GHOST STORY. I remember the trailer for the movie adaptation coming on TV when I was a kid and it scaring the hell out of me. Still haven't seen the movie, but 40 or so years later I cracked the novel. Almost finished it now (...and it was worth the wait!) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Few chapters into Empire of the Vampire, so far really loving it.

I read it when it was first published and thought it the best horror novel/ghost story I'd read since The Haunting of Hill House. I should reread it.

As for the movie, sure, watch it, but it doesn't do justice to the book. Which is too bad because the older actors put in good performances -- the last for Douglas and Astaire -- though the movie is stolen by Alice Krige. By rights, it should have been a star vehicle for her.

That's one of my all time favorites, Brent! glad to hear that you're enjoying it. You might also like Shadowland if you haven't read that one yet.

Krige was so damn creepy in that movie. I agree too that the movie really didn't do the book justice.

*sigh* with these spammers.

Right, don't spam me, just send me an envelope full of cash instead lol.

Also started the last book in Mybrilliant friend series.

Novel about the low-life and misadventures of German serial killer Fritz Honka. The movie The Golden Glove was based upon the book. It is my first contact with author Heinz Strunk, who usually seems to write in the comedy/humor/satire sector.

Thank you, Kandice! Based on your recommendation, I started reading it yesterday and now I'm hooked.

About to start "The Girl on the Porch" by Richard Chizmar as it's a very short story/novella but one of my new favorite authors :-)

I just finished Man-Beast by Deborah Sheldon, about a travelling troupe of boxers in early 20th century Australia and a clan of sasquatch-like creatures who live in the hills. It's fun and violent and a great read!
