I’m working my way through Dead Sea by Tim Curran, maybe 25% in. So far I like it but there are times when I feel like it’s dragging a bit.
Also listening to the audiobook for Let Me In by John Ajvide Lindqvist. Almost finished and have been really enjoying it.
I just finished Echo by Thomas Olde Heuvelt. I found it to be a more unique story, pulling from a wider variety of influences for the sources of the scares, than his previous novel Hex even if it ended up being a bit more uneven as result. I still think when it works it really works, but there were certainly portions of the book where it lost steam for me as well. Definitely looking forward to seeing how his next book Oracle turns out!
Next, I’m planning to start The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas for some classic gothic haunted house vibes hopefully!
I’ve been on a Stephen Graham Jones kick. I read “Only Good Indians” last month and am finishing up “Mongrels” right now. OGI is great I def recommend it
Rereading “The Haunter of the Dark” by H. P. Lovecraft today. And soon I hope, the rest of his Cthulhu stories.
Lovecraft is excellent. My favorites of his are “The Shadow Out of Time” and “Dream Quest of Unkown Kadath”.
Joe Hill’s Full Throttle. It’s a book of short stories and I find they’re just the right length.
Really enjoying it and some of the stories are pretty compelling.
I’m near the end of The Ruins by Scott Smith. I am not enjoying it although it is enthralling and dreadful. I feel bad for everyone and they do such foolish things. The “villain” is terrible and relentless. I can’t not finish but it is NOT a fun read. Just misery.
