WHAT I’M READING NOW: INFERNAL ANGEL by Edward Lee

I haven’t read much of Lee’s longer work, just his short fiction. I’ve read MONSTROSITY and CITY INFERNAL, the latter of which is the first in his Hell series. IA is the second, and it looks pretty cool. I have

WHAT I’M READING NOW: EXPANDED UNIVERSE by Robert A. Heinlein

WHAT I’M READING NOW: SOMETHING’S OUT THERE by Mickey Spillane

I’m a huge Spillane fan. This is the last complete novel he wrote before his death. There were two others, but they were incomplete, and Max Allen Collins finished them. I’m looking forward to reading his swan song.

WHAT I’M READING NOW: FOUR DARK NIGHTS by Bentley Little, Douglas Clegg, Christopher Golden and Tom Piccirilli

Holy shit. Look at that fucking lineup and tell me why this book shouldn’t be read by everyone.

WHAT I’M READING NOW: DARK UNIVERSE by William F. Nolan

Nolan is a master of short horror. Loved his work ever since I was a kid. Why would I not read this one?
