I loved HIDDEN PICTURES. I have to admit his 1st novel, which is not horror related, THE IMPOSSIBLE FORTRESS is even better. He also has a thriller titled THE LAST ONE AT THE WEDDING coming out in October. Only two novels in he is already a must-read author for me.

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.

Finished The Burning Girls by CJ Tudor, and really enjoyed it, probably my favorite of her work so far.
After Burning Girls, I started The Dunwich Horror, the latest in the Francois Baranger series of illustrated Lovecraft stories.
This is the third in the series and I hope he keeps going. Â
His illustrations are amazing and really help in visualizing Lovecraft’s sometimes dense prose.

I won't name names but I had picked up several books from an author I had never read. Upon finally sitting down and reading one of his works I realized I didn't like the writing style at all.

Just finished reading the SST signed slipcased LE of Stephen Graham Jones' "Don't Fear the Reaper", the second book in his Indian River trilogy and a first time read for me. Totally loved it! It was exactly what I was hoping for, and in fact, I think I like it even more than the first book, which is a bit rare for trilogies. Jade, and really, all of the characters are fully fleshed out and amazing. The who-done-it aspect kept me guessing the whole time, and the slasher and other horror references were loads of fun. Also really liked the ending, Jade doing her best Bender with that hook had me both moved and totally cracking-up. Also, as always, SST knocked it out of the park in terms of production values. That cover artwork rocks! I also opted for the optional slipcase which added another layer of awesomeness to the production. Overall, I can't recommend this trilogy of books enough, especially if you're lucky enough to snag the SST LEs.
Am now reading the Lividian slipcased LE of Robert McCammon's "Seven Shades of Evil". I am so excited to be starting this book!

Thanks for the heads-up. Heller has few fans more ardent than me, and this blurb just sealed the deal…plan to pick this up very, very soon:
“Perfect for fans of The Dog Stars by Peter Heller and The Road by Cormac McCarthy.”

I'm super excited for Angel of Indian Lake too! I'll probably hold off on picking it up until SST releases their limited-edition version so I can have a complete matching set of the SST LE's. In terms of Crouch, I think you'll be very pleased. This trilogy rocked (even if the production values of the limited editions were very underwhelming). If you get a chance, also read his book Dark Matter which I thought was fantastic and was my very first Crouch read. If you cans swing it, the Suntup version is especially choice!
Dark Matter is another one on my list, and I've definitely had my eye on that Suntup Artist edition. Have to give Pines a go first!
