Straub's 'Ghost Story' and 'Floating Dragon' are in my top ten all time books - essential reading, in my opinion. I have 'If You Could See Me Now', but haven't got to it yet. 'Shadowland' will be my next Straub.

Originally posted by Martin View PostHave not read Brothers yet, soon. Dinner with the Cannibal Sisters was a very fun read, I actually found myself wanting more time with the characters.

Originally posted by Brian861 View PostI did too Martin. I have several more Clegg's books coming and that was my first read of him. Hopefully they're just as good. Maybe I will actually read what I collect lol. Too much potential to miss out on some good stuff.

I really liked Brothers - still need to get to Cannibal Sisters.“Reality is a nice place to visit, but you wouldn’t want to live there.”

I finished Hugo Award winner The Three Body Problem, was very hard sci-fi at times, but overall a pretty darn good read, esp for sci-fi fans - lots of real science - futuristic possibly real science, and good look at an author's thoughts on the Chinese cultural revolution.
Started Ray Garton's The Loveliest Dead - sadly I missed out the CD version of this, but found a pb in great shape.

Waiting for Michael McDowell's 'The Amulet' to arrive, so dipping into various anthologies and collections, including:
Century's Best Horror Fiction, Vol. 2 (antho)
Meddling With Ghosts (antho)
Shades of Darkness (antho, Ash Tree Press)
Conference With the Dead (collection, Terry Lamsley)
Tragic Life Stories (collection, Steve Duffy)
Some great fiction, with a special mention to 'The Night They Missed the Horror Show', by Joe Lansdale. Amazing.
