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.

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.

Maybe it’s time to crack open one of those Tudor books. Â

You might just like it (don’t let Jeff scare you off!).

I would recommend starting with either The Other People or The Burning Girls, both of which were thriller / mysteries with a bit of the supernatural thrown in,

If short stories are more your thing, her collection A Sliver of Darkness was very good, and the stories had a lot more of a supernatural angle to them.

Agreed. I've staring at them for quite some time, telling myself that I need to get to them. Thanks for the starting point recommendations and hopefully I can actually get to one before Sub Press publishes another one of her books!

Gosh, darn it...and Sub Press has announced today that they have not one but TWO more Tudor books in the pipeline with The Drift already at the printer...I may have to be buried with my Tudor limited editions so that I may take them into the afterlife with me in order to finish them...
