Too funny. I read that a few months back as well, also for the first time in many decades.

Finished up The Pallbearers Club by Paul Tremblay

It’s the fifth novel I’ve read by Tremblay, and by far ranks as the worst of the five.

A glacially paced storyline without a payoff at the end, uninteresting characters, and written in an experimental style that quickly grew tiresome.

Here’s hoping Horror Movie is a return to form for Tremblay.

Camelot just put the Lansdale up on their site, so I grabbed it...I've had my eye on it for a while, but I held off since I hate pre-ordering. Hopefully it'll be worth the cost and the shipping....

Yeah, the price for these actually held me back from purchasing them. Love each author but for such short books, it didn't seem worth it, especially considering that it's highly likely that each author will include them in a future collection of their stories.

Very true -- and, to be honest, had that thought occured to me I probably would have skipped them as well...at least the Lansdale, as you know that one's going to be in a future collection since all his stories find their collective way sooner or later.
