Was not aware of this one. Going to have to look it up. Sometimes the badder the better.:)

Most of the stories are excellent, but a few of the earlier ones really show how writing has developed in the past 60 years.

Holding up the last beam.

Great story by Matheson right there. Used to have that same copy until I loaned it out one day and blah da de blah blah..... never seen it again. :mad:

Next thing on my list is Swan Song by Robert McCammon

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VXNWSr1UpT...+Swan+Song.JPG

My favorite book of his is They Thirst.

I'll keep that title in mind.

Yeah never lend books you want to have back again. I learned that the hard way. That said, I Am Legend is definitely work a re-purchase. I am really enjoying it and am not a humongous vampire fan.

THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS by James Fenimore Cooper. Yeah, I know, it ain't horror but it's pretty exciting with some good fight scenes. Of course, with all the scalping and the stabbing of bodies to make sure they're really dead, the spirit of horror is never far behind.

I'm finishing The Passage by Justin Cronin. For the most part it is so well-written it makes me rethink my own writing. But I find it turning into cliched scenes from action/horror movies we've all seen too frequently toward the middle-end.

It seems more and more novels are reading like screenplays these days. Anyone else feel that?

This Book is Full of Spiders by David Wong

I don't really think that there are proper words to discribe what's going on here...

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Thomas Harris's Hannibal Lecter Series:
Finished Red Dragon & Silence Of The Lambs
Currently about 150 pages into Hannibal...

The Colorado Kid
By
Steven King

Brian Keene / Edward Trimnell
 

I'm reading two books at the moment:

Brian Keene: "The Rising": This one had been on my to-read list for quite some time. Very good zombie novel. Kind of a different zombie book, in that the zombies are not mindless beasts, but dead bodies reanimated by demons. Keene also has zombie animals, which is a little weird, but mostly it works.

Edward Trimnell: "Eleven Miles of Night": This is a supernatural story that involves a walk down a haunted roadway in Ohio. Not the goriest book, but the horror in this one creeps up on you. I've read this author's short story collection, and was basically pleased (although I didn't like one of the stories). I also like a horror story with solid characters, which this book has.

Next on my to-read list:

Probably some of the old Clive Barker stuff. I also haven't re-read The Shining in few years. This one remains my all-time favorite.

Wanna recommend u all one of my favourites, yet not so much well known. U can find buch of stories which will grab u right into the story, and u won't be able to stop reading nor to move out of the bed. Pretty much scary, as well as a little bit erotic, that's what everyone loves, isn't it? :)) Oh well, the book is Cosy Chilling Bedtime Stories by Gibey. There's a discount on it right now, so it's real bargain.

Cemetery Jones

Joyland - Stephen King

Just started Dracula by Bram Stoker, per sfear's suggestion. So far pretty good! I am cheering for Dracula. :cool:

Chuggie and the Bleeding Gateways by Brent Michael Kelly.

For the Fourth of July Weekend we listened to the audiobook version of The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan for our trek to and from Cape Cod. It's read by Ron Perlman, which is utterly perfect. We really enjoyed it and need to make time to listen more now that we don't have any long trips planned...

Also on vacation, I read about half of N0S4A2 by Joe Hill. It's good... Not as good as, say, Heart-Shaped Box or Horns... It certainly has a higher creep factor in this one... Now I need to make more time for reading while not on vacation... :o

Heading out to a cabin with my girlfriends Father and Brother for a little bonding i guess. I decided to bring The Shining with me. I think the feeling of isolation in the book will really come across being out in the middle of nowhere and make it a lot scarier for me. Plus i want to read it again before Doctor Sleep comes out.

Just read a Philip K. Dick story in Brian Aldiss's SPACE OPERA collection called "Colony" which is without doubt sf but reads like horror (kinda like Lovecraft). For one of the few times ever I actually saw the ending coming but it still shook me silly it was so well done.

Three quarters of the way through THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS, action/adventure of the highest sort. If they rated books like movies this would be R.

And slowly but surely working my way through THE WORLD OF H.G. WELLS, literary criticism by the great Van Wyck Brooks.

Hope you like it. Read some rather negative things about it at another forum but what do they know? Like Frederik Pohl said, "Nothing is so good that somebody somewhere won't hate it." (But if you don't like it, that's cool too.)

The Yard by Alex Grecian

A Murderous Procession by Ariana Franklin

Currently reading "The Family Corleone" by Ed Falco based on an un-produced screenplay by Mario Puzo.

About to read "Inferno" by Dan Brown the 4th Robert Langdon installment.

Recently finished "Fevre Dream" by George RR Martin (if you like vampire tales you'll love this!)

Also read all 5 novels from "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George RR Martin Which HBO's "A Game of Thrones" is based on for any non-fans.

Also read his three short stories "The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword, and "The Mystery Knight", the tales of Dunk & Egg. If you haven't read these and are finished with the 5 novels and looking for a Westoros fix while waiting for "The Winds of Winter". I highly suggest it, it's also a cool history lesson introducing characters from the past that they talk about in the current novels/show.

Grave Peril

Jim Butcher

I just read Peter Straub's 'Ghost Story' again after twenty years. I was surprised how good it still was. I also enjoyed T.E.D Klein's 'Dark Gods'.

Lately I have been reading stuff for free on Kindle. I haven't heard of this author before. There is no bio and his artwork is lame but the story really gripped me.

I just started reading "Clickers" by J F Gonzalez and Mark Williams. It is fun romp about mutant crustaceans.
I started reading it because I am a fan of Brian Keene and he coauthored the sequels.
Only a few chapters in, but it is well written and has a good pace.

good books!
 

I'm currently reading The Shining... oldie but a goodie!!
I also have on order Glory Hole by Warren Rome, synopsis sounds pretty good, the title tells it all I suppose!! haha
I think it's his first book, so I have my fingers crossed it's gonna be good, I may have found a new writer!!:D:D:D

The Angel of Vengeance
 

Most gruesome thing I have ever read.

A Street Cat Named Bob (And How He Saved My Life) by James Bowen

I no longer read horror books, as it turns out that unlike films, horror books give me nightmares. I guess they are more powerful than films.
Right now I am in the process of reading "The girl with the dragon tattoo". A gripping book, definitely recommend if you haven't read it.

Someone here said this was good. Can't recall who it was but he was right. Weird in all the right ways so far.

I am interested in reading the texts that gave you nightmares.

The most recent book I read that I actually finished was Stephen King's Cell. Damn that was good. I also cried at one part.

A month ago I tried a book called House of Blood by Bryan Smith. It was quite good at first, but I had to put it down once I got an idea of how it would probably turn out at the end. Oh well. :cool:

Summer Knight
By
Jim Butcher

Might have been me but I can't remember, anyway it is one I would recommend to any horror fans.

I just recently finished Richard Laymon's Alarums. It was a good, taut thriller, that kept me reading well into the night, a very quick read. I am starting on Laymon's Night of the Lonesome October, it's starting off very good.
