Almost done with starship troopers. I figured I'd check it off my tube list with the suntup numbered edition. A nice reading experience.

Did you pick up the deal from CD for those? I did - but haven't gotten to them yet. I've only read one (maybe two) things from them.

Just finished Caitlin R. Kiernan's second Dancy Flammarion collection "Comes A Pale Rider". Just as strong as the first collection in my opinion. Kiernan's writing is as fantastic as usual. Loved the ties to previous Dancy stories. Am really glad that I picked-up this book from SubPress. Hope Kiernan decides to collect a third volume of Dancy Flammarion stories sometime soon as she is a really cool character.

Just finished "Your Turn to Suffer" by Tim Waggoner. This was my first read by this author and will definitely not be my last. I really enjoyed this book. Story felt like a splatter punk (early) Dean R. Koontz novel mixed with some Clive Barker with a dash of Lovecraft. Loved how the author wasn't afraid to kill his darlings in this one. Also some of the strangest, creepiest, goriest visuals that I have encountered in awhile. Highly recommend this books to the horror lovers out there!

Just finished Rio Youers' "Lola on Fire". Man, this frickin book was awesome! As compulsive a read as anything I have encountered in quite awhile. Literally had to force myself to stop reading so I wouldn't be overtired at work the next day. Loved the mix of characters, especially Lola and Blair, two of the most badass women that you could ask for. This book would make a fantastic movie. Youers completely knocked it out of the park with this one. A five star read for me.

A little more than half way through The Refuge Collection...Hell to Others, a charity anthology edited by Steve Dillon, which is the follow up to The Refuge Collection....Heaven to Some.
Similar to the first book, Hell to Others is a pretty good collection of stories, with a lot of references to Lovecraft & Barker.
The stories also seem to have more of an interconnected story arc than I remember from Heaven, though it's been nearly a year since I've read it.

I am a sucker for books about Stephen. With that said I am about a third of the way into 'Chart of Darkness' and am absolutely loving it.

Just finished "Replay" by Ken Grimwood. Had never heard of this author/book, but, it was mentioned with high praise somewhere in this forum and I decided to give it a try. Am so glad that I did as this book was fantastic. A very moving and bittersweet story. Hard not to get choked up when reading parts of this one. Reminded me a bit of Neil Barrett Jr.'s "The Hereafter Gang", but less zany. Kills me to know that the author was working on a sequel when he passed away as I would have loved to read it. So many places the author could have gone with the story... Overall, a five star read for me.
On a side note- Has anyone read any of this author's other books? If so, do you have any recommendations? While I can't imagine that any would be as good as "Replay", I would love to give another one a read. "Into the Deep" intrigues me as the synopsis sounds like the movie Starsea that was a plot point in "Replay".Last edited by sholloman81; 04-23-2021, 09:11 PM.
