'Hell House'
by
Richard Matheson

I haven't read this book in over thirty years, it still holds up as one of the best ghost stories ever. A classic. :scared to death:

Stephen King - Firestarter

Let the Old Dreams Die by John Ajvide Lindqvist. Only read the first story in this collection so far - but it was a good one with the feel of a Nordic Noir crime story.

Lindqvist is also the author of Let the Right One In.

A Curious Man: The Strange and Brilliant Life of Robert 'Believe It or Not!' Ripley by Neal Thompson.

I'm not a big biography fan but this is a very engrossing read so far! Recommended for sci-fi, adventure, and horror fans.

I do love me some Matheson. One of the best with THE SHRINKING MAN, I AM LEGEND "The Test" being long time time favorites.

THE KIDNAPPER-Robert Bloch. Really intense suspense story with one of the most unlikable characters ever put in print...truly a grade A asshole.

Mammoth Book Of Zombies

It's a facsimile but still cool. Only a few pages into it but the Burroughs is showing great promise.

At the Earth's Core

by Edgar Rice Burroughs

http://bookhound.files.wordpress.com...ths-core-2.jpg

Probably my favorite Edgar Rice Burroughs story this book features some of Burroughs' finest world building and wastes no time getting right into the action. After a brief prologue where the narrator reveals that this story was told to him by a man he encountered while on safari in Africa, we are drilling into the Earth's crust with the main character David Innes and Perry the scientist responsible for inventing the spectacular machine. Thinking themselves about to die when the steering wheel becomes locked in place they instead emerge in a new world. One inside the Earth where a bright ball of gas in the sky creates a perpetual noon and prehistoric humans are enslaved by a race of evolved pterodactyl like reptiles. Their adventure is genuinely fun and exciting and the vivid world and creatures that Burroughs' creates are both a wondrous and terrifying. There's even an epic battle after David and Perry manage to unite the kingdoms of Pellucidar against the Mahars. The ending will likely have you wanting to read the other six novels in the Pellucidar saga. I would love to see this book adapted into another film.

Just started this. I enjoyed the John Clever series by Dan Wells, so I figured I'd give this series a try.

THE BEAUTIFUL MYSTERY by Louise Penny. Only about 50 pages into it but my immediate reaction is good story by a good writer. High hopes for this one.

Just finished Dan Simmons's The Terror. A huge, huge book, and it is true in some parts Simmons seems like he's trying to move his story forward by sheer willpower. But I think the Cthulhu-style ice beast repays the reader's patience.

I read Summer of Night and wasn't too impressed. Have you read that? I'm wondering how it compares.


I'm currently reading All Hallows Eve by Richard Laymon.

I haven't. Probably won't return to Simmons for awhile, having slogged through 700+ pages in the Terror!

Maybe I'll check it out. I like long books every once in awhile

My brother said it was a good read but had a bad ending. I love Laymon though and its short so I'm giving it a try
