TJCams' Collection

I find him easy to read, but I sometimes find his stuff is quirky for the sake of being quirky. Weaveworld is a good example. But it still is a marvelous fantasy and provocative statement on the nature of art.

[TJCams]

Very nice! Haven't read Imajica yet.

I see on Goodreads you gave Weaveworld a very high rating. Would you say Barker is pretty easy to read?

[srboone]

Very nice! Haven't read Imajica yet.

[TJCams]

And just arriving this afternoon to me...... one I've wanted to get my hands on for a while. It will likely be near the top of my TBR file, or maybe another title of his I own (Weaveworld? Great and Secret Show?)

And, didn't post this, but I do own a copy, and am reading it now....

TJ I stumbled on Samhain a while back because of a John Everson tweet and picked up a few books during a 60% off sale, including Shea's Forest of Shadows and Evil Eternal. The only 1 of the group I've read so far is Maynard Simms' The Eighth Witch, but he was a new author to me and I dug the book (a lot). Been meaning to read Evil Eternal for weeks now. It seems they're doing something right over there... maybe Samhain has a finger on the pulse.

I found him via Samhain Publishing - have a lot of e-books and also print too. I really enjoyed his Forest of Shadows - I'd give him a try if you have a chance.

[srboone]

Nice. Another author I'm not familiar with.

[Theli]

Cool, hadn't heard of him. Nice add.

Just arrived today - my latest Goodreads win.... ARC of an author I just stumbled upon somehow

I loved Hunter Shea's Forest of Shadows - got it for my Kobo from Samhain - If you haven't checked out his stuff yet, I suggest you give him a try.

I, sadly (yes I know...), have not read Swan Song yet...

As I said, I stumbled upon Fire on Goodreads where it shows you similar books, or whatever it is. It isn't high on my TBR list, but wanted to give it a look, and thought the cover was cool in a simplistic way.

Now, seeing your post.....WOW, very similar indeed, and no doubt intentional.

And today's arrival, via AbeBooks (although I prefer the other version of the cover....)

This cover was, IMO, a blatant attempt to resemble the covers of Pocket's Robert McCammon novels, most especially Swan Song, which the tagline referenced. (I personally thought Fire was pretty awful. Certainly not in the same class as Swan Song or The Stand.)

Hunter

[TJCams]

I discovered it on Goodreads somehow - it does sound like a pretty cool story. Not sure when I will get to it.

[T-Dogz_AK47]

You have some great adds there! Awesome!!

Never heard of the book or author, but the premise sounds delightfully chaotic.
