Just finished reading The Ruins by Scott Smith, a mainstream author who has apparently decided to try horror. I'll put it simply: this is an excellent novel. This is a very grim and disturbing book, definitely not for those looking for a little light reading. Quick synopsis: a group of young college students has taken a trip to Cancun. Circumstances lead them to seek out an archaeological dig site in the Yucatan, where things take a sudden and drastic turn for the horrific. I would recommend this book highly, but only for those who enjoy particularly gloomy horror.
Currently reading: A Cavern of Black Ice by J.V. Jones. On deck: the 16th "Best New Horror" collection, edited by Stephen Jones. |
Currently working my way through China Boy by Gus Lee.

I have just re-read for the millionth time The Fog by James Herbert. All in one day. I managed to get it off Ebay, the 1977 version I had as a kid, and it still stands the test of time. Especially the bit in the school gym.
