Move Underground by Nick Mamatas. This is awesome. The most effective "mashup", if you could call it that. Jack Kerouac and the Cthulhu Mythos. Well written and captures the apocalyptic hope you find in the best beat literature.

Has anyone else here read this? I'm still not quite finished, taking my time with it...but wow. Such an incredible read.

It's an amazing book. I wish I could say I liked the rest of Chabon's body of work as much.

"The Dresden Files: Fools Moon"

Ive never seen a good adaptation of Lovecrafts stories. It would probably be because he didnt write dialouge. His stories were mostly narratives. It would be hard to make a movie from narration alone.

Ive been reading a collection of horror stories by classic authors, everything from Algernon Blackwood to H.G. Wells, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Poe, Edith Wharton, Guy deMaupassant, just about everything from a to z. Theres 274 stories in the collection so Ill be on it for a while. Im down to the H's now.

274 stories! Cool. Sounds like ten books in one. Story I'm reading now is by Henry James, the first of his I've read since "The Turn Of The Screw" which I read back in high school in the early 70s. Didn't appreciate him all the much then but I'm really enjoying him now.
