This is another installment in her de Sade series, but I’m not a big fan of it. I have it in my collection because I was a member of Dorchester’s horror book club. Since I have it, I might as…

WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE CITY AND THE STARS by Arthur C. Clarke
I haven’t read a lot of Clarke’s work, just some short stories and his 2001 series (of which my favorite is probably 3001). This one looks pretty exciting. The last city on earth, surrounded by a vast desert? And someone…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: INFINITE POSSIBILITIES by Robert A. Heinlein
As you all know by now, I’m a huge Heinlein fan. This one collects three of his juvenile adventures for the pulps. I’ve never read any of his YA material before, so this should be interesting.
WHAT I’M READING NOW: DOUBLE DEAL by Michael Corbitt and Sam Giancana
Wow. This book is written by a dirty cop who wound up working for famous Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana. This guy got caught, and instead of turning rat on the mob, he decided to go the omerta route and…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: HOT IN DECEMBER by Joe R. Lansdale
I’m excited by this book. It was only announced a little while ago, so it was a surprise publication for me. I’ve dug in already, and I appreciate the Hap and Leonard references. I wonder if there will be a…

WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE MUSEUM OF HORRORS edited by Dennis Etchison
Wow, look at this line up: Peter Straub, Richard Laymon, William F. Nolan, Robert Devereaux, Ramsey Campbell, Charles L. Grant, Tom Piccirilli . . . all edited by Dennis Etchison. This promises to be an awesome anthology!
WHAT I’M READING NOW: DARKFALL by Stephen Laws
I haven’t read much of Laws’s work, just a few short stories. He’s got a great sense of horror, so I’ve got high hopes for this novel.
WHAT I’M READING NOW: FROM THE LISTENING HILLS by Louis L’Amour
L’Amour is probably the greatest classic writer of westerns. I love his work more than any of the old timers, except maybe Portis’s TRUE GRIT. This is a collection of short stories. I tend to like his novels better, but…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: RING by Koji Suzuki
I loved the movie (both the original and the US remake), so I picked this book up a long time ago. I’m glad I’ve finally gotten around to it. So far, it kicks ass, and it’s very different from the…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: SPANISH CROSSING by Alan LeMay
I’m a huge fan of THE SEARCHERS, both the movie and the book. LeMay wrote a hell of a book, but sadly, it’s the only thing I’ve read by him . . . until now. This is a collection of…
