If you guys decide to give it a go, I'd be very interested in hearing your thoughts.

KING SORROW and Grady Hendrix's WITCHCRAFT FOR WAYWARD GIRLS, which I was reading simultaneously, both failed to really grab me in the way that I was hoping, based on their previous work. Their fault, or maybe I'm in some kind of reading funk?

Not your fault. WITCHCRAFT FOR WAYWARD GIRLS was a DNF for me, my first for Hendrix (though WE SOLD OUR SOULS was close) and I sold my signed copy. It’s starting to feel like the ol’ reliable authors are becoming less so.

Yeah, it is starting to feel that way...I'm still slogging through WITCHCRAFT, but I'm almost 300 pages in, and there are so many wayward girls that I can't keep them straight. Just waaaay too many characters.

Just finished reading the Thunderstorm LE of The Pink Agave Motel by V. Castro, a first time read/author for me. Got to be honest. Was very close to DNF'ing this book. The first half of the book were very short stories, almost felt like flash fiction, and they were a slog to get through. Each of them seemed to cover a different sort of monster (i.e., vampire, zombie, etc.) and had a bit of a sexual element, but most of them had very little plot. By the time I got to the novella that ends this collection (and is about half of the book), I wasn't feeling too charitable toward this collection. Luckily, the novella is a vast improvement on the first half of the book, but it's not quite enough to save the collection as a whole. Overall, I'm glad to have given this one a try but doubt I will be rereading it any time soon.

Am now reading the Thunderstorm LE of Ross Jeffrey's "The Devil's Pocketbook". Have had this in my TBR pile for a while and decide now was the time. I generally enjoy Jeffrey's stuff; so, I have high hopes for this one!
