etting back
^^ haha thats funny didnt mean for that to happen

That is a great trilogy, i was always a fan of Tasselhoff


I am also doing the D&D novel thing. I just finished The Legacy by R A Salvatore, and just began Startless Night (the follow up). It's fun, kind of getting back to my roots in a matter of speaking. Homeland by Salvatore is the reason I began writing, and I have been revisiting some of my fantasy writing.I think that may end up being the genre of my first novel.

[CrimsonFiend138]

My brother had all of them but since I moved I found the first one, and he has quite a few and I have a couple of his old ones. I read it awhile back but I wasn't really into reading like now. I always liked the brothers myself. I heard about an animated movie for the first book.

[Geddy]

Dreams Of Terror And Death By HP Lovecraft.

[SamCostello]

Reading Clockers, Richard Price’s novel about 80/90s drug dealing in New Jersey. Great stuff. If you like The Wire, which Price does some writing for now, you’ll like this.

Finished "The Great and Secret Show". Pretty good, kinda wierd at the end. Now I am on to "Moon" by James Herbert.

[colubrid660]

I agree, provided they don't use the same guy who did The Stand. And NO Molly Ringworm, okay?
Please.

I usually hate movies based on Stephen King books/stories. Since "Carrie", it seems like they just slap his name on whatever bastardization of his books hollywood puts out, which I suppose puts asses in seats to some extent. I guess that I'm not objective, however. I used to read the novels, and then go and rent the movies and critique them the whole way through. My specific complain was usually casting (hence my response). I hated Walken as John Smith in "The Dead Zone", even though I am a Walken fan, but Tom Skerrit was an excellent choice in the Sheriff. There are other examples of casting choices I liked or had a problem with. I liked that guy who played Jud Crandall, and Jimmy Smits as Gard, Spacek was certainly a good Carrie, but the majority of the casting sucked. Every casting choice in "It", and especially "Dreamcatcher" except for the guy who played Pennywise (his name eludes me now), and Morgan Freeman as Kurtz were awful.

[colubrid660]

started Dean Koontz's Life Expectency straight after and absolutely flew through it. Great read.

IDK I've read some 25-30 of Koontz's books, and was dissatisfied with most of them. I would only recommend "Watchers", "Phantoms" and "Winter Moon". His heroics, TOO happy endings, bad characterizations and preaching are often hard for me to tolerate anymore. He's not all bad, but try some Clive Barker or Bentley Little for some real shit :D .

[Vodstok]

Just finished Starless Night by R A Salvatore and im now a few chapters in to Siege of Darkness. This one has lots of blood :D

[The Vault of Horror]

Monsters. It's a pictorial history of the Universal classic horror movies. Fascinating stuff.

not to change the subject, but i was recently reading stephen king's danse macabre , which i hadn't read in years because it seems so dated. but i was actually inspired to haunt the thrift stores and came home with an armful of ramsey campbell, ira levin, shirley jackson, etc. lucky me.

Man you really blaze through 'em, I'm impressed.

[beckylouise2904]

Something which I have found difficult to get hold of, but damn worth it when you do - Michael Slade books!

Have read "Cutthroat", realising its the third book I have got hold of a copy of "Headhunter" and its a real page turner!! Normally I am not a fan of crime fiction but these are brilliant - definately worth a read!

i normally read autobios and avoid bios but this one is pretty damn good so far. excellent lively writing, and a lot of history - of italy, america, the mob, etc..


wow this book is tough to put down ... as riviting as any fiction i've read (and yes - this is probably largely fiction)

The book doesnt paint Dean to be a saint - far from it - but it sure seems to be anonymous that everyone in holleywood thought Jerry LEwis was an asshole.
i'll have to find his autobiog next

I believe you're thinking of the movie with Tommy Lee Jones...its not the same.

This one is about serial killers who abduct girls and keep them for a number of years to "play" with them.

Re-reading Coraline, but this time reading it to my 8 year old:D
It's seriously cool when your kids start digging your stuff:cool:

[Abominus]

The Dragon Syndacites. It's a pretty interesting non-fiction about the history of the various Triad organizations. I'm also re-reading Ketchum's Off Season, always unsettling.

[Dante'sInferno]

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows.

[The_Return]

Hopefully going to FINALLY finish Fifth Business today...great book, but its taking forever to read.

When I'm finished that, I plan to start into For Those Who Hunt the Wounded Down by David Adams Richards, which I'm very excited to read.

[Abominus]

Robertson Davies is always a slow go.

[The_Return]

Robertson Davies is always a slow go.

This is the first of his that I've read...I'll probably read the rest of the Deptford Trilogy at some point, as this one is a good read (slow as it is).

[Abominus]

He is great, I did Fifth Business in high school which prompted me to finish the Deptford Trilogy, I also read Murther and Walking Spirits which is paced much better.

Still a sloooooow go.;)

Okay I finished The Hellfire Club by Peter Straub. I think I am going to take a break for a week or two...

[Doc Faustus]

20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill
Ultraviolet by Nancy Bush

20th Century Ghosts is the best book of short fiction I've read since T.C Boyle' s If the River Was Whiskey. I last read Dr. Sax by Jack Kerouac. It's not quite horror, but it's a great book on growing up gorehound.

[jenna26]

20th Century Ghosts is the best book of short fiction I've read since T.C Boyle' s If the River Was Whiskey.

I read a lot of short story collections and I have to agree its one of the best ones I have come across in a long time. I'm impressed actually, I did like Heart Shaped Box, but its not nearly as good as this collection.

[colubrid660]

I started The Resort by Bentley Little. IDK I used to think he was decent to good, but he really can't carry a novel all that well his short stories are better.

[mungojerrie]

i'm readin imajica by clive barker.

[Vodstok]

Finished Sea of Swords by RA Salvatore the other day. Excellent book, one of his best (one o fthe most intense scenes i have ever read is in it)


Currently reading The Thousand Orcs (by salvatore), pretty damn good so far.

[urgeok2]

just finished Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (Blade runner)

very different from the movie. i have to admit i like the direction the movie took .. perfectly understandable - the book would have been unfilmable.

the movie took a much less cluttered, more conservative approach that i can appreciate. (they cast the movie better then i cast the book in my mind)

i could see what the book was getting at - and i think the movie captured it in a far simpler way (life is sacred - all life)

but the book felt .. sort of cluttered. aimless in places.

i'm sure i'm prejudiced by seeing the film first - but it's still a testament to an excellent film.

shows ridley scott can make great a movie, even if it comes from a mediocre book.

i had the opposite feeling when i read starship troopers. I think heinlen's book was awesome, and i dont know what the hell verhoven was doing, but he and the guy who wrote robocop took the names and the general fact that there was war with "bugs" and ran off on their own wild tangent.

I'd like to see a happy medium between the two. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is a bit more trippy and less action centered, which I was into.

[Doc Faustus]

Dr. Identity by D. Harlan Wilson. It's a cool, surreal, humorous bizarro romp through a pop culture poisoned wasteland of a future. It's like Vonnegut on acid.

[jenna26]

T is for Trespass by Sue Grafton

[SamCostello]

I just finished Master of Reality, by John Darnielle. Darnielle is the main guy behind the band The Mountain Goats. It's his book about Black Sabbath’s album of the same name. Part of the 33 1/3 series of small books about albums. A good installment of the series, written from the perspective of a teenager locked into a residential treatment facility against his will.

The Black Dahlia ~ James Ellroy. Unlike the two books I just finished, I really disliked the movie that was based on this one.....but thought I would give the book a chance.
Oh and I was surprised that I actually prefer the film L.A. Confidential to the book, a bit too much was going on in the book. Kind of a mess, really. And it was the first I have read by Ellroy.

i'm reading Appetite For Destruction ...

a book about Guns and Roses.

[Vodstok]

The lone drow, RA Salvatore. Great so far, tons of killing :)

[Doc Faustus]

Crash by J.G Ballard. Might be better than the movie. I'll have to see.

[SamCostello]

I'm about halfway through Blood Meridian, by Cormac McCarthy. Great book so far, and an interesting case of how genre books get looked down on unless they're written by literary authors. If anyone else had written this book, it would definitely have been seen as horror, not literary fiction.

Sam

[urgeok2]

She Wakes - Jack Ketchum

Summer of Night - Dan Simmons

Very Lovecraft, but very repetitive.




Alex Scarrow "Last light"

Dracula's Brood a horror anthology edited by Richard Dalby. It features neglected vampire tales from the pens of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, M.R.

Just finished Servant of the Shard by R A Salvatore this morning. I thought it was a really good book until the epilogue, at which point i decided it was a FUCKING AWESOME book.

the revelation in the last paragraph is a "Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's Father" revelation if you have read the 13-14 preceding books. Incredible, one of my new favorites.

[Doc Faustus]

Piecemeal June by Jordan Krall. Funny, sick. Early Clive Barker meets Elmore Leonard.

[Thintin]

I've been a fan of CB's work ever since reading Weaveworld (which is still one of my all-time favs).

I know this book was meant for a younger audience but I'm finding it very entertaining. the concept for this set of novels has a lot of scope and the characters and events are believable and original (in a dark fantasy/horror setting).

I'll update when I finished reading it, but at this point I would highly recommend it.

If you haven't read CB before I'd suggest starting with Weaveworld or Imagica, both are fantastic!

My only wish is that CB would once again write books based in the UK instead of pampering to his USA fans (he may live there now but it doesn't mean all his work has to be set there does it?)

I'm also reading a great book called 'Nothing in this book is true, but it's exactly how things are.' which is mind a blowing account of humankind's origins and what is really happening around us now. Well worth reading if you like aliens, dimensional travel and conspiracy theories about secret governments :-)

The Island Of Dr Moreau.

just finished SEEING - the sequel to Saramago's Blindness (soon to be a major motion picture - though i can't imagine it will be good). Seeing isn't quite the same as Blindness - its more of a political satire and doesn't have the 'horror/adventure' elements of Blindness - but it was good (although the ending was very depressing to me)

The Dark Tower Part One - The Gunslinger, By: Stephen King.

[The_Return]

Just started "Rant" by Chuck Palahniuk. It's my first exposure to his work (unless you count the movie version of Fight Club), and so far it's really cool. Love the whole "oral history" concept - makes for a really different kind of read.

The Raw Shark Texts, by Steven Hall – An experimental novel about a man whose memory, and life, is being eaten away a theoretical shark that lives in ideas. It’s a neat idea and fairly engaging so far (about 100 pages into 500). Folks who liked the experimental aspects of House of Leaves might like this, too.

It's not my favourite though, that would go to Pet Semetary. Tomorrow I'm going to start a new book called "Hitman Hart: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Professional Wrestling".

Yes, I'm a wrestling fan.

Not sure, I haven't read a whole lot by Simmons. Anyway, I am not even halfway through it yet. Its good so far, but going REALLY slow.

I'm reading three books at the moment, so that may have something to do with it. :) But no it hasn't completely drawn me in. That doesn't mean that its bad though, may just be my mood.

Nope never heard of it. But I will look around for it. Is it worth buying? (keep in mind, I don't part with money very easily... ;) )

[Angra]

I'm sure you can find it as a cheap paperback by now. And yes, it sure is worth THAT kind of money. ;)

I finished it today and I must say that i quite possibly have never read a book that was so exciting from litterally the first page to the very last, including the authers last words.

Very thought provoking and scary.


Best described as "Black Hawk Down" meets King's "Pulse". I'm sure there's a tale of doom that's much more fitting than Pulse, i just haven't read it. :o

I will check the bookstore next time we are at the mall. Online I have only been able to find it for 15 dollars, not including shipping. But admittedly I haven't looked that hard yet.

[Angra]

15 bucks IS pretty expensive for a PB.

Well, i sure hope you'll stumble upon it soon. And if you don't there's always the movie. ;) :rolleyes:

I am currently reading A Writer's Guide to Fiction by Elizabeth Lyons. It is an awesome read, it covers all of the bases necessary to write good, complete short stories and novels.

I am finally beyond serious about making writing a career, so i am finally "going to school" so to speak to learn whatever i can to get my stories written and published. Right now I have a fantasy novel in teh works, and i am looking to map out and complete Gloom, for those of you that have been wodering where that went.

Yeah, I've been trying to get a copy of Rage for a while now, the collection was the only place I could find it.

[Doc Faustus]

Rage is one of Stephen King's best books, in my opinion.

[Geddy]

I agree, Rage was excellent.

Next by Michael Crichton

Why the fuck does he always have write in pedophiles? Sick bastard, I'm never reading him again.

Other than the PERVERTS , it was an amazing book, scary because it was so real. It could be happening right now

[Lucifal]

Ok, so as publisher of this one I'm somewhat biased. But then I wouldn't have published it if I thought it wasn't any good! It's only just been released (official launch at Fantasycon in a couple of weeks) and I heard just this morning that it will be available through Waterstone's if you're in the UK (still waiting to hear from Barnes & Noble in the States).

Tanith Lee says of it: "A deceptively readable date with darkness – watch your step! This book is lit for the much more discerning chick (and cock) who like to walk in the shadows. Relax with it, but be prepared for sudden jewels and little masterpieces – and the rug to be pulled from under your feet." which makes it sound a little like a woman's book, but it certainly appealed to me.

You can also order it direct from here (http://www.murkydepths.com) or Amazon UK.

[Doc Faustus]

And..... YOUR name is Gina? :rolleyes:

It's not her. She's selling well enough she doesn't need to give fake endorsements. Just because you haven't heard of a writer, doesn't mean nobody else has.

I only ever read Jurassic park and Lost World (1000 times better than the movie) by him. does he include a lot of perverts?


Reading At the mountains of madness right.
