Finished up Subject 11 by Jeffrey Thomas.

Too weird, too slow, to little payoff at the end.

Starting The Pallbearers Club by Paul Tremblay.

I know this one hasn’t got much praise on the forum, but want to read it before Horror Movie comes out.

Dead Sea is incredible, that was my introduction to Curran and I've yet to be disappointed....but yeah with the success WHP has had with his back catalog I'm just assuming we're going to eventually get everything he's published in deluxe editions

I'm sure that these will look great on a shelf. How's the quality of their lettereds? Similar to when they were doing the slipcase lettereds at Dark Regions back in the day?

I haven't read anything by Curran, but I keep meaning to. WHP seems to be on a tear with the Curran books. I was this close to pulling the trigger on their lettered of DEAD SEA.

My experience was limited to THE RITUAL — which had a great first half — and BANQUET FOR THE DAMNED, which did a nice job of evoking a setting, albeit at the cost of character. This was my first of his recent self-published work, and I won’t be going back to that well. Poor characterization, excruciatingly drawn-out scenes, and a way of writing in a self-aware, almost purple-prose style that utilized overwrought, odd word choice, a very distracting style that I don’t remember from those two aforementioned novels.

Oof. I guess I'll be continuing to steer clear of his work for now.
