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: THE SALMON OF DOUBT by Douglas Adams

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.
WHAT I’M READING NOW: BLACKWOOD FARM by Anne Rice
A long time ago, Rice lost me when she lost her ability to edit and started repeating herself a lot. In more recent times, I’ve given her another chance, but she hasn’t changed much. However, there were some good parts…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE BIRDS AND THE BEES by Sephera Giron
I’ve only read one other thing by Giron, and I don’t remember being very impressed with it. However, I’m always willing to give a second chance. Sometimes even a third or fourth. We’ll see how this works out.
