Finished DANSE MACABRE by Stephen King. This is not a definitive examination of the horror field but a deferential nod by someone who's spent most of his life adjusting it to become one of today's foremost practitioners. The chapter on horror fiction is a must read.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, by Stieg Larrson - Finally finished this. The mystery was very good, very engrossing, but the prose was not too good and I couldn't get much into the characters. I won't read his other two books.

Achelon Ranch- by Doc.
Loving it! Wierdly wonderful and I love the way that the lines between reality and fantasy/ fiction and the real world are blurred. Bloody brilliant, but think it will warrant a couple of readings.:cool:

Quote:
My only Criticism-and its really not a slight agsainst you, is that Amazon does not seem to promote new or innnovative authors and although I read your profile on there, I was dissapointed that the blog about your books was limited and there were no reviews. Bugger, So I geve you 5 stars to start you off! Didn't write a review- but will do when I have finished the book. Is this the case on Amazon.com? Or is it just the UK web site that seems slightly predjudiced against independant or small publishing houses and their authors?
