Almost done with John Russo's novelization of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD which came out six years after the film. Remember finally getting a copy in 1981 and reading it instead of "Death of a Salesman" for english class. Think it's pretty good with character backstory and certainly more bleak/downbeat than the film if that's possible

Added that to my Amazon wish list!

Reading "Naked in Death" by J.D. Robb.

Finished Doctor Sleep. Not Kings best but certainly not his worst. Something it has going against it is trying to live up to one of his best works and a novel I think everyone should read, The Shining. It glosses over a lot of plot development and story in the beginning which is something I've never seen him do before and its the first time I think I've read a book where the heroes always have the upper hand. Its not a bad story though and even though I didn't love it and didn't get that can't wait to read it feeling I still liked it.

Now I'm reading some Poe

KISS AND SELL by C.K. Lendt (1997). Lendt was a member of KISS's financial team from July 1976 (right as DESTROYER was about to get a second wind) up to March 1988 as the CRAZY NIGHTS tour was sputtering to an ugly death. Even if you are not a KISS fan, this is an excellent read involving the financial side of successful rock bands and really could be about any band. Lots of information about "The Hottest Band in the Land" from hard core rockers to a kiddie band and several misguided projects. Those boys certainly spent it like they had it and despite the constant comments from a long tongued gasbag about how rich they still were in the 80's, the book paints a far different picture.

Still continuing to read Watership Down by Richard Adams. It's a classic book and I started reading it a few years ago and than I dropped it for some odd reason. I'm glad I decided to pick it up again and I'm enjoying it. Very familiar with the storyline, I watched the animation movie when I was younger and it made me very sad but now that I'm older I appreciate it a lot more than I did when I was a young child. When I was younger, it freaked me out: especially when the field was being covered in blood.

Wow, is that possible? Haha. I'm not sure about Russo. I remember when the 30th(?) anniversary edition of the dvd came out and I bought it, one of the first dvd collector's editions I ever bought, and I was excited because before I had only been able to watch the film on an old vhs recording complete with commercials.

Russo really messed that up with his added scenes and new soundtrack. It was awful. There was something where you could watch the original version on the disc I think, but something wasn't quite original there I think. I don't remember. I threw the thing away when the millennium edition came out.

I just finished reading Those Across the River...a period piece with werewolves. It didn't really work for me. I feel like the author was trying to elevate the horror genre by writing like literary fiction type authors, especially those from the south. I really want a good werewolf book, but I'm having a hard time finding one. Any recommendations?
