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.

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.
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.
