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…
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: TO THE DEVIL–A DAUGHTER by Dennis Wheatley and DAMNATION 101 by Kevin Sweeney
A long time ago, I saw the Christopher Lee movie TO THE DEVIL–A DAUGHTER, and I liked it. I didn’t think it was great, but it was fun. So now I’m giving the book a try. Also, I’m reading DAMNATION…

WHAT I’M READING NOW: EVERY DAY IS AN ATHEIST HOLIDAY! by Penn Jillette
I just saw Penn down at Anderson’s in Naperville the other day, and I bought this book to earn my spot in line. I love his books with Teller best, but SOCK is one of the most amazing crime stories…
