Just finished reading the Thunderstorm LE of Edward Lee's "The Television". I've always been a big fan of Lee's work, but this one was slightly underwhelming to me. There were lots of good gore scenes; however, the story itself never really went anywhere and the ending was a big letdown, even if it left room for a sequel. Overall, I'm glad to have read this story but have read much better books from Lee prior to this and would most likely recommend one of them rather than this book.

Am now reading the Thunderstorm LE of John Wayne Comunale's "Death, Scum, & TV Fun". Have never read anything by this author, but this book sounds crazy; so, I've got my fingers crossed that it's good.

I wasn't aware of this edition, but just tracked down the info on it. I'm inclined to wait for the SST edition -- assuming they're doing one -- but may weaken when Sunday's BB ordering period opens...we'll see. Only reason I'd go for the BB edition is that I'm betting SST is not doing a limited edition...but I'm thinking that's probably a losing gamble since they've done all the others.

Yeah, I just hope that the UK special edition rights weren't transferred or anything.

If I hadn't pre-ordered the Barnes & Noble edition, I would have bought the Broken Binding one. I actually prefer the US trade edition cover though, and the extras in the b&n edition are a nice bonus.

Broken Binding said they'll be publishing more horror books in the future, so I'm definitely looking forward to what else they have in store.

Anyone planning on picking up Broken Binding's edition of Horror Movie? It looks tempting, but I'd much prefer an SST edition. I hope the BB edition doesn't interfere with SST's Tremblay line.

Finished You Like it Darker by Stephen King. I've always loved King's short stories, and this was another great collection. I preferred the shorter stories to the included novellas, which I'd put in the middle of the pack for King's novellas. The 'sequel' story was definitely not what I was expecting.

Currently listening to Harlan Coben's Fade Away, the 3rd in the Bolitar series. So far my least favorite, but I do enjoy Coben's style.

Yesterday I received Paul Tremblay's Horror Movie (b&n edition) in the mail. The red sprayed edges look excellent...I've been really looking forward to reading this one, but I've had Chuck Palahniuk's Haunted on my pile for a while now, and I think I'll be reading that one first. It'll be my first read by Palahniuk.

Just finished reading the Thunderstorm LE of Bryan Smith's "Kill the Hunter". Generally speaking, I enjoy Smiths stories, but I was a bit disappointed in this book. The story itself was pretty fun; however, it also feels a bit half-baked. Lots of things left unexplained or glossed over quickly, and just when the story really starts to take off, it abruptly ends. This one really should have been a novel as opposed to a novella as it needed more story. Overall, while there were things to like, this was an average read at best.
