Of course I’m going to read the new Palahniuk book. This one starts out with possibly the most bizarre rape scene ever written. Looks like Palahniuk has done it again.

WHAT I’M READING NOW: EVERYBODY’S SOMEBODY’S FOOL by Ed Gorman
I’m a huge fan of Gorman’s work (and an avid follower of his blog). I’m not a fan of Worldwide, the publisher of this book, but I don’t think that will impair my enjoyment of this novel. I haven’t read…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE JOURNAL OF PROFESSOR ABRAHAM VAN HELSING by, um, Abraham Van Helsing
All right, enough with the bullshit. It’s actually by Allen C. Kupfer. But I do like the conceit. I read one “by” Victor Frankenstein once, but I wasn’t too impressed with that one. And then there was the one written…

WHAT I’M READING NOW: DEADLINE by John Sandford
A new Virgil Flowers book? Fuck yeah! I love that fuckin’ Flowers!
WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE WIND CALLER by P.D. Cacek
Cacek is hit or miss with me. I read the back of the book, and it seems so ridiculous that I can’t see how it can work. Yet . . . Jack Ketchum and Douglas Clegg gave it their blessing,…

WHAT I’M READING NOW: ENDLESS NIGHT by Richard Laymon and SHIVERS VII edited by Richard Chizmar
Laymon has yet to disappoint me. As for SHIVERS VII, I like to save these books for October and read, more or less, one story a day. (There are never 31 stories, so I’m allowed a few skip nights.) I…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: DEATH’S ACRE by Bill Bass and Jon Jefferson
I bought this book about ten years ago when I heard Bill Bass on the radio, and the story of the Body Farm fascinated me (although not enough to read the book right away). By this point, I figured I…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: POSSESSIONS by James A. Moore
So far, I’ve enjoyed Moore’s work. There is always some kind of flaw, but the journey is always worth it. I’m rarely disappointed.
WHAT I’M READING NOW: BLACK FIRE by James Kidman
I was about to say that I’d never heard of this Kidman guy before, but I just discovered that he’s actually a pen name for Brian James Freeman from CEMETERY DANCE. He’s a great guy, and I’ve read a few…
