Just finished reading the Thunderstorm LE of Brennan LaFaro's "I Will Always Find You: The Complete Slattery Falls". This was another first-time author for me. Based on these stories, I will definitely be reading more LaFaro in the future as I was completely blown away by how good each of these novellas were and the progression of the story and characters from book to book. LaFaro's definitely got a gift for characterization. I know this is a bit cliched, but reading these novellas reminded me a bit of reading 80's Stephen King, strong characters mixed with an everyman's voice for the storytelling that seems to make pages fly by. The author also left enough room to continue the story if he chooses, and personally, I wouldn't mind another trip to Slattery Falls at all! Overall, these stories are very recommended and I'm beyond happy to have added this to my Thunderstorm collection.

Am now reading the SST LE of Joe Lansdale's "The Donut Legion". I've seen mixed reviews online for this one, but I'm a huge Lansdale fan; so, my fingers are crossed!

Just getting started onThe Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History by Elizabeth Kolbert for a book club. A different type of horror book!

I'm not a big non-fiction fan, but this sounds interesting...and frightening.

Finished Savages by Don Winslow, loved the book. Already checked out the prequel The Kings of Cool from the library, looking forward to starting it. Has anyone who read Savages read that one as well?

Also finished Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay...unfortunately, I didn't really care for it. I liked the premise, but the pacing was too slow and the 'Horror Movie' itself was uninteresting to me. At one point, a character who read the screenplay comments that it doesn't sound like a movie they'd like to see, and I agree! (Unless I'm misremembering and that didn't happen in the book...now I'm doubting myself. Tremblay ambiguity!) This was only my second Tremblay book, and I do like his writing style so I'll pick up more in the future.

I bought the first volume of PS Publishing's SOLAR PONS OMNIBUS series on a whim, and I'm cracking that open this morning. My first exposure to Basil Copper. I wanted to dig into this fast before I committed to the other two volumes.

Currently reading Savages by Don Winslow, based on a recommendation from this thread. About halfway through so far and really enjoying it, much more than Winslow's "City" trilogy. Thank you for the recommend!

Also starting Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay, reading the b&n edition with the red sprayed edges. Only about 20 pages in, but I like the setup so far. I'm going to Tremblay's event at Vortex Books this weekend, so I'm hoping to get through the book by then!

Don Winslow is Great!
