WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE WALKING DEAD: THE FALL OF THE GOVERNOR PART 1 by Robert Kirkman and Jay Bonansinga

I’m actually surprised by how good these books are. Media tie-in novels almost universally suck. There really is no point to them, except to see some of the stuff they cut out of the movie or TV series, since they

WHAT I’M READING NOW: A VERY STRANGEHOUSE CHRISTMAS edited by Sean Ferrari and AFTER DARK by Manly Wade Wellman

I’ve read all the StrangeHouse books so far (hell, I wrote one of them), so why should I stop now? As far as AFTER DARK goes, I forgot I owned this book. It’s a John the Balladeer novel. I didn’t

WHAT I’M READING NOW: EVERY DAY IS AN ATHEIST HOLIDAY! by Penn Jillette

WHAT I’M READING NOW: SHADOWS 2 (edited by Charles L. Grant) and BLEEDING SHADOWS by Joe R. Lansdale

The SHADOWS series from Grant is a solid one, and you can always rely on them.  There’s a hell of a line up (and shockingly, many of them are primarily known as SF writers), but I’m the most excited about
