SEVEN STEPS TO MIDNIGHT-Richard Matheson. Matheson is one of my favorites and he's written some great tomes (I AM LEGEND, HELL HOUSE, THE SHRINKING MAN, many short stories), but sadly, this not one of them. Overly long and the main character wears out his welcome VERY quick.

ROSE MADDER-Stephen King. Abused wife leaves her abusive Policeman husband (how You will hate this guy) for a new better life. Sadly, he's an expert at tracking people and wants to "Talk to Her Up Close" one last time. One of King's better novels with solid characterization, but too many long spots ("Vive Ze Bool" really slows things down) and the supernatural elements almost hurl it off the tracks (page 234 in paperback). But Rosie is a wonderfully nuanced character and her story grabs You right from the beginning.

Recently read and finished two book.

Kill Creek was well written but it almost read like a movie. But I enjoyed the concept of it.

A God in the Shed was absolutely fantastic. A unique story to be sure and keeps you guessing the whole time.

TO END ALL WARS-Adam Hochschild. Incredible book on WW1, told mostly from the British point of view. Very very well done.

JOYRIDE-Jack Ketchum. Good story, but like most of Ketchum's work, it gets quite violent quite quickly and once again involves a madman on a spree,
This also had a bonus Novella "Weed Species" which pretty much retells the Karla Homolka/Paul Bernardo story and almost matches AMERICAN PSYCHO in repulsiveness.

Carrie. Classic story, not much to add here.

But it does raise a question: in the book, King repeatedly quotes excerpts from books such as "My name is Sue Snell". With fan fiction now a universe of it's own, I was wondering wether someone ever wrote a completed version of those books.
