Started this 1940s thriller:

What tome are you reading Halloween night.

Probably A Taste For Honey unless I finish it first. If I do I may try William Peter Blattey's Legion to top off the month as it's been on my radar for a long time. Or better yet, maybe I'll just devote the day to reading Poe. That actually sounds better. As for the Heard novel, it is horror, or supposed to be, with minor (for now) sf leanings. Wasn't sure I'd be interested in a book about bees but so far this is very good. These bees are really creepy.

This is very interesting book of horror!
 

"The well", by Joe Faster, it is a very interesting horror story!::cool::

Working through In A Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware. Pretty standard mystery stuff, but well crafted. Popcorn reading, but not in a bad way.

Also starting into Stephen King's Danse Macabre for the first time, really looking forward to it.

I read Danse Macabre a few years ago and really liked. Stunningly well written I thought.

THE MALTESE FALCON-Dashiell Hammett. The 1941 version, which I think is one of THE best films ever made took a lot from here. Sadly, some dialogue didn't make it into the film.Would loved to have heard Bogart exclaim "Jesus Christ!" or "Jesus, You're a Pip!"

Read this a few months back. Stories from early in his career. The last three or four were super good.

KILLING ENGLAND-Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard. Another winner in the KILLING series. This tells about the American Revolution of the late 1700's and the Movers and Shakers of the time.

We Have Always Lived in the Castle. By Shirley Jackson.

Cool. I've always wanted to read that.

This here's a good piece of magna....
Kengo Hanazawa: I Am A Hero
It's Japanese zombie horror! ::smile::

UNDER THE SHANGHAI TUNNELS and other weird tales

Lee Widener

LORD OF THE FLIES- William Golding

Started this in earnest recently rather than just a story here and there for Halloween and whatnot:

Loving it.

PEACEABLE KINGDOM-Jack Ketchum

I got Stephen King's book recently that he co-wrote with his son called: Sleeping Beauties...should be an awesome read!!! ::roll eyes::

Do audiobooks count? I'm currently listening to ''Between the World and Me'' by Ta-Nehisi Coates for school, and it's actually fantastic for a required read.

They absolutely count!

Some horror freak is gonna be very happy...today I'm gonna return my copy of the new Stephen King back to the library. Just picked up the new one from Joe Hill, Strange Weather.

A SIMPLE PLAN-Scott Smith

Cool! 8)

Finished that one and also just finished Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis by JD Vance. It was good, but unsettling with how relatable it was.

Loved that.

Very interesting audiobook!

I am reading this book about Steve Jobs, very interesting bio...

GUIDE FOR THE FILM FANATIC-Danny Peary. Long time favorite over the last 30 years with thoughtful reviews by DP.

The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty
Cat Coming Home by Shirley Rousseau Murphy

THE FOG-James Herbert. London is once again under threat by JH's pen::big grin::! Pretty good read, but like most of his work, like it better when he strays from the plot to introduce new people, who usually come to ghastly ends.

SAVAGE PASTIMES-Harold Schecter. Pretty good read from the author of several excellent True Crime books (especially on Ed Gein and Albert Fish) about Violent entertainment throughout the centuries .

Just came in from the library for me!

Gwendy's Button Box: Stephen King and Richard Chizmar

The Stuff Of Dreams the weird stories of Edward Lucas White: S.T. Joshi

The Graveyard Apartment: Markio Koike

The Joshi sounds interesting. Never heard of White but if Joshi is as good with him as he is with H.P. Lovecraft The Stuff Of Dreams will be a doozie.

Just got the new Peter Straub ::smile:: it's a book of short stories...

Interior Darkness: Peter Straub
