Seems cool! It's a dark rendition of Alice and Dorothy.

Anyone heard of it?
Thank you darkchamber for the interest in my wife's book, she appreciates it.

I am her husband and will happily announce that I am also new to the forums and enjoying them and spreading the word about my wife's book (as made obvious by my signature). Check it out if you are interested. Send me messages privately if you would like to chat more about it. I read it three times during the writing and editing process and am happy to talk.

Most recently, I read Ender's Game in preparation for the new movie. Loved it, although I got mixed reviews about the apparently numerous other books in the series. Still trying to decide if I want to read more of them.

She and I are both fans of horror so this site is turning out to be quite a cool place to hang.

Thumbs up

Finished Under the Shaghai Tunnels tonight after beginning it just yesterday afternoon. A wonderful horror yarn! If you are into neo-Lovecraftian horror I definitely recommend getting this book through any black-market channels you can find, as it had a limited release.

Could the story all be true? To put my mind at ease, I have to believe there never was a Wilson Davis. But if I ever go to Portland, I will have to visit Cameron's Bookstore, and then look around for "a faded old bar that still clung to a touch of elegance".....

I'm really glad you enjoyed it MM! And I got word from the publisher this week that he had several copies that were printed on the wrong paper stock, and he's sending those to me. And here's something to help you if you ever get to the Rose City:

Doctor Sleep by Stephen King. Really enjoying it; it's genuinely creepy, human, different to how I perceived it might be.

I am very interested in this now that I know that it is tied to The Shining. I hadn't heard much, but after seeing what you wrote and discovering its tie to The Shining I am much more interested.

My fiancee just bought me Pet Sematary as a Halloween present, I'm only a couple of pages in but I love Stephen King and he rarely disappoints

I didn't like Pet Semetary very much compared to his other work. Hopefully you'll like it

Pet Sematary is actually one of my favorite Stephen King movies but I've never had a chance to read the book until now. So far I like it, I'm about 10 chapters in, Jud just took the Creed family through the woods to the cemetery.
