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…

WHAT I’M READING NOW: BLOOD & GRIT by Simon Clark
I can’t tell you how much I love Simon Clark’s novels. BLOOD CRAZY is one of the greatest horror books ever written, in my opinion. His short stories? Eh . . . that’s another story. They’re not bad, exactly, but…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: FACE by Tim Lebbon
I haven’t read a lot of his fiction, but I really enjoyed THE NATURE OF BALANCE, so I’m excited about this one. The description on the back also sounds very cool.
WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE DECEIVER by Melanie Tem
Tem’s a decent horror writer. I don’t know if I’d put her in the top 10 (or even top 50), but the stories I’ve read by her were good. To the best of my recollection, this is the first novel…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: STORM FRONT by John Sandford
I’m always happy when a new Flowers book comes out. What more can I say about that fuckin’ Flowers?
WHAT I’M READING NOW: FRIGHTS edited by Kirby McCauley
Lumley, Nolan, Campbell, Etchison, Bloch, hell, the all-star list of writers in this original anthology is incredible! They even have a story by Davis Grubb, the guy who wrote THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER. All edited by the guy who…

WHAT I’M READING NOW: DOOMED by Chuck Palahniuk
This is the sequel to DAMNED, which I reviewed here: http://talesofunspeakabletaste.blogspot.com/2012/01/are-you-there-satan-its-me-madison.html I have been a longtime fan of Palahniuk, and I intend on continuing to be so for the rest of my life. The man is a lunatic. The…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: MONSTROSITY by Edward Lee
I like Lee’s work. He wrote one of the greatest horror stories ever, “The Stick Woman.” The man knows how to get under your skin and ravage your tender bits.
WHAT I’M READING NOW: DOCTOR SLEEP by Stephen King
Personally, I don’t think THE SHINING needs a sequel, but so far, I’m really enjoying DOCTOR SLEEP. It’s not necessarily a sequel, more like a brand new story. It’s interesting to see what has happened to Dan Torrence, and to…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: THRILLING TALES edited by Michael Chabon
Holy shit, look at this line up! Michael Crichton, Harlan Ellison, Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, Elmore Leonard, Michael Moorcock, and a shit-ton of others, all original stories. I already read the King story, because it went on to be a…
