WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE FURY AND THE TERROR by John Farris

I love Farris’s work.  SON OF THE ENDLESS NIGHT is one of the greatest demon possession novels ever written.  However, I did not like THE FURY.  At all.  I hope this sequel is much better.  Hm.  Odd.  It’s dedicated to

WHAT I’M READING NOW: McHUMANS by Kevin Strange

I already read the shorter version, which I enjoyed a lot.  This one is the “director’s cut,” and I’m eager to see what didn’t make the first cut.

WHAT I’M READING NOW: CANNIBAL FAT CAMP by Mark C.Scioneaux and David C. Hayes

Come on.  How could I pass this book up?  The cover looks like a Garbage Pail Kid.  Not only that, but hey!  It’s got a short story by me in the back, pimping for TALES OF QUESTIONABLE TASTE from StrangeHouse!

WHAT I’M READING NOW: BEDBUGS by Rick Hautala and BEER RUN OF THE DEAD by D.F. Noble

Honestly, I’m not a big Hautala fan.  There are a handful of really good stories, but his longer fiction just doesn’t do it for me.  Luckily, this is a collection, so I’m sure I’ll find something interesting here.   BEER

WHAT I’M READING NOW: DARKNESS, TELL US by Richard Laymon

What can I say about Laymon that I haven’t said before?  I wish the guy was still around.  He’s a very reliable writer.  I’ve never been disappointed with his work so far, and I don’t think this book will be

WHAT I’M READING NOW: GIANT by Edna Ferber

WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE ATLANTIC ABOMINATION by John Brunner

When I was a kid, I used to hold books by Brunner with a thumb over the -ner part of his name so I could pretend it was my name.  That’s right, how lame and dreamy is that?  Anyway, I

WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE MARTIAN MISSILE by David Grinnell

It’s another Ace double from the old days.  I bought the book because John Brunner has a book on the other side.  I didn’t really know who David Grinnell was.  Imagine my surprise when I found out it was legendary

WHAT I’M READING NOW: NO WORLD OF THEIR OWN by Poul Anderson

I’ve never been much for Poul Anderson, but this book looks really cool.  It also helps that this is an Ace double, meaning on this side of the book is NO WORLD OF THEIR OWN, and if you flip it
