Just finished reading the Thunderstorm LE of Chad Lutzke's "Bruises on A Butterfly". Really enjoyed this one but do wish it had been a bit longer as I think it could have benefited from a bit more room to breathe. Either way, this book had a ton of heart. Lutzke is fast becoming a favorite of mine!

Am now reading the SST LE of Stephen Graham Jones' "The Angel of Indian Lake". I have been looking forward to this one big time as I loved the first two books in the series. Can't wait to see how this series ends!!

I have one story left in the Charles Beaumont collection, A TOUCH OF THE CREATURE. I was a bit disappointed to find out that there IS no creature to be found in these pages (Meaning there are no Horror stories...), but the stories are so well-written that I stopped caring almost immediately. There's a lot of touching slice-of-life stuff on display here, and Beaumont writes in such an insidious way that you could easily miss a nasty plot turn if you aren't paying careful attention to everything he says. Highly recommended if you're looking for something a little different.

If a fire struck my library and I only had time to grab one book from five authors among the thousands of books in it, a book by Charles Beaumont would be in the mix. His work is just outstandingly and timelessly good, one of my all-time favorites. There's a full-length biography upcoming from Centipede Press at some point, and I can't wait to get my hands on it...the rememberances from his friends in the Dark Harvest collection and William F. Nolan's short bio-bibliography are both nice, but Beaumont deserves a full-length exploration of his life and work.

Wow, high praise, indeed! The introduction to this book includes an overview of Beaumont's life, which served to really up my interest in the Centipede biography. Haven't heard any updates on that one in a long while, it seems...
