old book
 
I've just been reading William Hope Hodgson series books called CARNACKI. Your basic Ghost hunter with almost realistic tellings of hantings, both real and fake within the story. These are very old books and the setting is in what seems the mid to late 1800's in England. Very good read.

Finished a Stroke of Midnight. Pretty good, though I still say Hamilton needs a new editor. Too many phrases are repeated too often and there are glaring mistakes on occasion. But still an interesting, imaginative series.

Just started Velocity by Dean Koontz. Premise is good and the first chapter made me laugh a lot for some reason. :p

Velocity by Dean Koontz
 
Velocity by Dean Koontz was good, but at the same time felt like it was rambling on looking for the ending. Mind you, the whole book was a mind flip and the ending I still wonder about. Not a bad read just a weird one if you can hang on.

Roadwork- Richard Bachman aka Stephen King----hadn't read it in years, actually haven't read alot of his stuff in years, so I'm re-reading alot of his books again...

dead sleep by greg iles it was ok, the ending was sort of predictable.

If Chins Could Kill

Always fun reading Bruce Campbell dribble.

I agree, I really feel like he himself didn't know where the book was heading. Overall, I wasn't that pleased. But it was a quick read and I liked the first half.

Just started Survivor in Death by J.D Robb....yeah I read them, what of it....? :rolleyes: :p

The varied characters were a strong point: It seemlessly combined everything from the very human, very realistic character of Richard, to the larger-than-life characters such as Croup and Vandemar. The world he created was also breathtaking, as well as very realistic i a fantastic sort of way. In fewer words: I loved it, cover to cover.
This is great!

Try"Good Omens"co-written with Terry Pratchett

Also" American Gods",this one is my fav

I don't know what my problem is, but I just can't seem to get into Gaiman's novels. Practically everyone I know loves his work, but his long form stuff just falls flat with me. His short stories (and the Sandman, of course) are a different story, however.

Back on topic: I just finished reading the Mammoth Book of Best New Horror 15, edited by Stephen Jones. Some very strong entries in this year's collection.

Keepers by Gary A.Braunbeck

I could write crap like this-if this is the standard for winning the Bram Stoker Award-I'll be winning every frigging year

I can't believe I wasted money on this.I am going to find out where this bozo lives,knock on his door,burn his book right in front of him and demand my money back-with INTEREST.
