I had the same problem with his SHADOWLAND. Had some nice stuff in it but have never felt compelled to read any of his other books.

Really fascinating history of how the idea of (Jewish/Christian/Islamic) God has been created and shaped by historical sociopolitical factors.

Finished Summer of Night by Dan Simmons. Kinda boring and slow.

Now i'm reading The Last Apprentice: Grimalkin, The Witch Assassin

Too bad you didn't like Summer of Night, I really enjoyed that one. Who are some of your favorite authors, maybe I can recommend some for you.

Stephen King, Richard Laymon and Brian Keene are my favorites

Gord Rollo is another favorite of mine. I've read all his books. Strange Magic is one of my favorite books.

The only thing i've read of Mary San Giovanni is For Emmy but i've been wanting to check out The Hollower and Found You. I'll have to check out the others as well, thanks man. I'm always looking for new books and new author's to read.

no problem, if you wouldn't have said that you didn't like Simmons very much I would have suggested him. He reminds me so much of King. Hope you enjoy those novels I suggested. Gord Rollo and Mary SanGiovani remind me of Keene, Bentley Little and John Everson remind me of Laymon, and Jonathan Maberry somewhat reminds me of King.
