In all honesty, I’m not a huge Blatty fan. I’ve only liked three of his books: THE EXORCIST (obviously), LEGION, and I’LL TELL THEM I REMEMBER YOU. Most people don’t understand that he’s a humorist, not a horror writer. THE…

This one doesn’t have a super cool lineup, but there’s still a few good writers here: Tim Lebbon, Dennis Etchison, Thomas Ligotti, and Ramsey Campbell (of course). Not a bad read so far.
WHAT I AM READING NOW: SECOND CHANCE by Chet Williamson
