WHAT I’M READING NOW: TALES OF THE LOVECRAFT MYTHOS edited by Robert M. Price

I’ve read most of the stories in here before, so this will probably be a quick read.  Some good names in here.

WHAT I’M READING NOW: NOS4A2 by Joe Hill

How the fuck could I pass up Joe Hill’s new book?  Also, keep your eyes peeled for a new installment of my Meeting Authors series detailing how I met Joe Hill.

WHAT I’M READING NOW: CURTAINS OF BLOOD by Robert J. Randisi

I’ve read a few of his mysteries and westerns, and I’ve generally been happy with his work.  This is my first experience with one of his horror books, and I’ve heard some bad things.  From what I understand, it’s what

WHAT I’M READING NOW: WHAT MAKES YOU DIE by Tom Piccirilli

The fact that I have this book is good news.  A while ago, Jason Sizemore (the chief at Apex, who published this book) sent us customers a message saying that Piccirilli wasn’t feeling up to signing the books due to

WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE X-RATED BIBLE by Edward Akerley

Reading the Bible can sometimes be fun.  There’s a lot of smut in there, but I know I couldn’t have found all of the dirty parts.  Might as well read a book written by an expert on the subject.

WHAT I’M READING NOW: FISTFUL OF FEET by Jordan Krall

I haven’t read a lot of Krall’s work, but I thoroughly enjoyed SQUID PULP BLUES, which was the second bizarro book I’d ever read (at least, the second that was MARKETED as bizarro).  This one looks like a good mixture

WHAT I’M READING NOW: SELECTED STORIES OF PHILIP K. DICK

Surprisingly, I’ve read very few of his short stories.  I’ve tackled a good number of his novels, and his odd sense of identity has always fascinated me.  It looks like the stories that were the basis for TOTAL RECALL, MINORITY

WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE DARK DESCENT edited by David G. Hartwell

Holy fuck, this is a huge doorstop of a book!  The thing is, I’ve read just about every story in this book, so I don’t think this will take me very long.
