Crash by J.G Ballard. Might be better than the movie. I'll have to see.

I'm about halfway through Blood Meridian, by Cormac McCarthy. Great book so far, and an interesting case of how genre books get looked down on unless they're written by literary authors. If anyone else had written this book, it would definitely have been seen as horror, not literary fiction.

Albert Sánchez Piñol "Cold skin"

Very Lovecraft, but very repetitive.




Alex Scarrow "Last light"

Starting out quite promising. Ive got high hopes for this tale of doom.

Dracula's Brood a horror anthology edited by Richard Dalby. It features neglected vampire tales from the pens of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, M.R. James, Algernon Blackwood, Sabine Baring-Gould, Mary Elizabeth Braddon (loved her story Good Lady Ducayne, and it is in this anthology), and H. B. Marriott Watson.

Excellent book if you like 19th and early 20th century horror.

Naked Lunch. I pick up and don't put it down once every month or so lately.
