are those three books related ?

i read Koko a long time ago . and have the other 2 somewhere around .. didnt know there was a connection.

If you like mystery and suspense, try Rising Sun by Michael Crighton. It's a pretty fast read, I couldn't put it down.

I also dont want to start a new thread for this question, what are some books that are gruesome, and horrifying, or just plain wierd that are definately away from the mainstream horror.

Yes, they are. The same characters appear in all three books, and the plots are (somewhat loosely) related. All three are great reads, but The Throat is the best in my opinion.

Once again, I'll recommend Thomas Ligotti. His works are seldom gory, but they are definitely horrifying and about as far from mainstream horror as you can get. As far as gruesome stuff goes, you could check out Edward Lee. I don't care for his work very much myself, but if you like the splatter stuff, you might.

Oh, and I'm reading The Conqueror Worms by Brian Keene. Really cool post-apocalyptic stuff. I wish I could find his other books around here.

I haven't read these books in quite a while, but I believe the order goes:

1. Mystery
2. Koko
3. The Throat

I could be wrong though.

Right now I'm reading A Place For Us, by Nick Gage. It's an autobiographical novel about Nick and his four sisters emigrating to the U.S. after communist guerillas killed their mother in Greece. This is a very engrossing and well-told story. If you like true stories, I highly recommend it.
I haven't gotten bored once.

Skeleton Crew by Stephen King. I've read it about ten times, but it's still a pretty good story collection.
