I finished ANNO DRACULA (Mostly...still working through the backmatter...annotations, afterword, deleted scenes, bonus story), and WOW. The book is a slow burn, but the ending just knocked me on my ass. I spent the bulk of the book thinking we WOULDN'T see what we see at the end, and then Newman hits you over the head with it. Amazing. I used a Father's Day B&N gift card to nab the rest of the books in the series. I'll also say that after reading this book, and knowing it came out before Alan Moore's LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN really gives that book, and Moore himself, a black eye. I feel like LOEG and FROM HELL were both greatly influenced by Newman's work.

Just finished reading the Thunderstorm LE of Mike Lombardo's "Please Don't Tap on the Glass & Other Stories". Had never read anything by this author beforehand but will definitely being do so going forward as this collection of stories was fantastic. While it had one or two that I might consider filler, the rest were knock your socks off good. I especially loved "Dead Format" & I'm Dreaming of a White Doomsday". Don't think those two will be leaving my noggin for a while! Overall, I can't recommend this collection enough and am glad to have added it to my Thunderstorm collection.

Am now reading the Thunderstorm LE of Brennan LaFaro's "I Will Always Find You: The Complete Slattery Falls". This will be another first-time author for me.

As always, curious to hear your thoughts about the LaFaro book. I was tempted to pick it up upon announcement--omnibus love and all that--but ultimately held off.

Just finished reading the Thunderstorm Neon Recluse LE of Somer Canon's "Picking You Out of My Teeth". Had never read anything by this author previously to this book but will definitely be doing so in the future. This collection of short stories was really good, especially the novella at the end, "Earthly Treasures" which was a devastating read. Haven't been able to stop thinking about it all morning. Overall, I would definitely recommend this collection and am glad to have this book in my Thunderstorm collection.

Am now reading the Thunderstorm LE of Mike Lombardo's "Please Don't Tap on the Glass & Other Stories". Have never read anything by this author but have high hopes given the intros in the book from Brian Keene & Ed Lee.

Reading a Folio Society collection of Daphne du Maurier's complete (?) short fiction. Very early into it with only halfway in the first story -- the titular "Don't Look Now" -- and finding it a bit distant in its characterizations and awfully redundant in its plot exposition, but am enjoying the quiet, mannered style and her skill at atmosphere so will continue on. My assumption is that as with any collection it's going to be a mixed bag, so not going to judge it on the very first tale.
