Just finished reading the Thunderstorm LE of Wrath James White's short story collection, "The Ecstasy of Agony". There were a few standout stories, and some of these scenes will probably last in my brain quite a while, but overall, I found the collection to be hit or miss. All of the stories were hardcore and as graphic as you'd expect, but a lot of them just felt too similar in content and tonally the same. Probably would have liked this collection a bit more if I didn't read the stories straight through and instead broke them up with another book. Overall, I would give this one a solid C grade.

Am now reading the SST LE of Paul Tremblay's "The Pallbearer's Club". Got my fingers crossed on this one as the reviews on Goodreads are a bit brutal, and I know some here on the forum didn't enjoy it.

Eager to hear your thoughts on the Tremblay.

I have that on-deck. Let us know your thoughts, please!

Will do. I've steered away from thick doorstop books like this in recent years, but if the first few chapters are any indication, this should read faster than I fear it otherwise might.

Finally -- finally! -- geting around to A CHILD ALONE WITH STRANGERS by Philip Fracassi. From everything I've heard (and the other books of his I've read), I'm expecting great things.
