Am now reading the reading the Thunderstorm LE of Chad Lutzke's & John Boden's "The Bedmakers". This was a blind buy for me as I've never read either author, but I do trust Thunderstorm's taste and am hoping to find a gem!

I still haven't pulled the trigger on this one. I'm kinda hoping you'll come back completely disappointed so it'll save me some money. I have the feeling that won't be the case, though. Either way, curious to hear your thoughts.

Just finished reading the signed hardcover of Kristopher Triana's "That Night in the Woods". Am a big Triana fan and enjoyed this one a lot. Felt like a throwback 80's horror novel (whether that's a good thing or a bad thing may depend on the reader). The characterization (at least until the final page) was top-notch. All the main characters felt fully fleshed-out and like real people. Also thought the setting for the majority of the book was quite creepy. Looking at the goodreads reviews, this book seems like a mixed bag for most people, but I think it's the ending that people really dislike. It's almost designed to piss you off as I can guarantee that it's not what most people are hoping for when they get to the final page. That being said, it's by no means a bad ending and does make sense within the mythos that the author builds within the story. I personally didn't have an issue with it. If I did have an issue with the book, it would be that the mythos really should have been explained a bit more, if only to give the villains a bit more depth to their actions rather than just coming off as crazy. Either way, I still found the book a good read and am happy to have snagged a copy while available.

After seeing the cover for Pay The Piper by George Romero & Daniel Kraus, I'm hoping (kind of assuming) SST will put out a nice edition of it...but I just opened their edition of The Living Dead and already learned that Romero had hoped to adapt The Stand back in the day and I'm beyond irritated that we didn't get that.Â

Wow, hadn't heard of this one before and am super intrigued! The amazon description sounds pretty cool. If SST ended up doing a version, I'm sure I would purchase it as well.

Finished The Worm and His Kings by Hailey Piper, and though I liked it better than her short story collection that I DNF’d a couple of years ago, it still didn’t work for me. Probably my last attempt at reading Piper.

Currently half way through This World Belongs to Us, an anthology of horror stories about bugs. It’s been a very hit or miss anthology up to this point.
