Currently reading Defenders, by, Will McIntosh, an alien invasion novel. Part one was fast paced, brutal, and page turning, but, I'm getting slogged down with the second part. It's only over 500 pages long, so I hope it picks right back up.
Re-reading The Smoke, by, Tom Barling, a superb British gangster novel.

Just over a 1/3 of the way through The Orenda - for me it's not working. I mean it's a very interesting look into the views of both the natives in Canada (Huron, Iroquois, etc.) and the French missionaries (from New France), and how they interact with each other, but aside from a few battles, this is dragging on for me.
Setting that aside, and finally reading Pet Sematary

Hey guys,
Haven't been around for a while. I am sad to say that I am STILL reading Firestarter. It kept putting me to sleep and I just stopped reading it. Then because I didn't finish it, I couldn't move on so I haven't read anything in a year now. I will have to keep trying. The sun is back so reading outside might help.

Finished Revival last night and was really disappointed. Started really promising and just went downhill from there. Sort of picked up at the end but was too late pull me back in. I just couldn't connect with the character(s). In the beginning I was oh snap here we go but then it just went on and on fillers here and there don't care about your boring life blabbing about things that didn't really progress the story and then bam let's get this book over with. Sorry the book didn't click with me.
Anyways I found a tattered paper back copy of Railway Ghost and Highway Horrors by Daniel Cohen illustrated by Stephen Marchesi. I've had this since elementary and from what I remember there's a few stories that scared the bejezzus out of me. Going to read it again and see if it has the same effect on me lol.
First notable story and still remember till this day The Most Famous Phantom
Second one that I enjoyed and somewhat remember is The Warning Light
Last story that I remember was The Death Car. I think there's about 13 short stories but these 3 are the ones that stuck out.

I'm about 2/3 of the way done with The Scarlet Gospels. Loving it. As early as the prologue there are resurrections, people being ripped apart, and good old fashioned Hellraiser fun. There is also something very elegant about it; while it is definitely bloody and gruesome, there is some real substance there as well, and Pinhead is a delightfully complex character.
Hoping that Barker will make a movie of this one. . .

I am reading Only Child by Jack Ketchum. This has been on my list every year for the last four years to read and I finally pulled the trigger on it. One of the best books of his so far. Hope it continues this way.
I am also reading Trigger Warnings by Neil Gaiman and not that thrilled so far. Put it down for awhile. His weakest collection so far.
