Couldn't help it...
What are you reading right now? I'm reading the Horror Library collection (It's like 32 short stories), and so far, I'm digging it. How bout you? |

I am reading a collection of Richard Matheson short stories... so, you know... of course it's good. Review worthy, even.

I am reading CELL by King. I started it when it first came out and then a few other books came out and I had to put it down to read those.
I just got done with OFF SEASON by Jack Ketchum. A great great book. and before that, COVEN by Edward Lee, the master. |

I picked it up because I heard my film got mentioned and so far I have been very impressed with it. Just got it yesterday, but it is LOADED with info and cool art work.

Just finished The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum 
even more because it was based on a true story. the only thing that shocks me anymore is how cruel people can be to each other sometimes.

I'm currently working on:
*** NOCTURNES by John Connolly (this guy isn't marketed as a horror writer, but my God this collection contains some of the most chilling fiction I've read in a long, long time)
*** WALTZ OF SHADOWS by Joe R. Lansdale (re-reading with my wife)
*** CELL by Stephen King (although, sadly, I think I might give up on it -- it just isn't "grabbing me"  )
*** BUMPER CROP by Joe R. Lansdale (fantastic . . . further cements Lansdale's #1 spot in my Favorite Writers of All Time list)
Good stuff!
J.N.
