very interesting ebook
I'm reading the ebook Haunted by Jordan LeBlanc. Pretty emotionally disturbing story. For a debut novel, it crosses lines many horror veterans have dared to even approach. I got it off smashwords for 1.99. I think it's on the nook and apple ibookstore as well for the same price. Worth a look, especially for less than 2 bucks.
If anyone wants to give it a look, it's here http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/39872 |

I'm reading the Damnation Game by Barker. I've read it many times, I just like reacquainting myself with his work every now and again.

Finally got around to finishing this. Uneven mixture of essays to be sure. My favorite essay was of course "The Beating Of Black Wings: Supernatural Horror In Literature And The Fiction Of Edgar Allan Poe" by H.P. Lovecraft with Dorothy Scarborough's "Modern Ghost" a very close second, so much so I may order the book this essay was selected from new if I can't find a copy second hand. My least enjoyable essay was "Anthropology, Fiction, And The Occult: The Case Of Carlos Castaneda" by David Murray, not because of poor writing --- Murray is a very capable wordsmith --- but because this type of anthropological mysticism just doesn't appeal to me. Castaneda's books littered virtually every crack and crevice back in the seventies when I was spending all my time and money (I was single and employed fulltime) building my book collection. Wasn't attracted to them then and after seeing two of them in good condition at Goodwill the other day felt no nostalgic tug of missed opportunity. __________________

I'm reading two books at the moment: Wish You Were Here by Rita Mae Brown and Sense and Sensibility and Zombies.
I'm struggling to get through Sense and Zombies. I'm not enjoying it as much as I enjoyed Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.

Funny, doing the same thing: Midnight Meat Train, The Yattering and Jack, and Pig Blood Blues. All three this morning during a rain storm. Love reading horror while its rainy and gloomy outside.

Just finished The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and loved it. It's young adult, but I HIGHLY recommend it to everyone here. It's a fast read and utterly engaging. Pretty psyched to read the next one.
