Just finished Stephen King's "Billy Summers". Really enjoyed it. Thought the book within a book device was clever. I also dug the various Easter eggs for the Shinning and the Stand. Wouldn't crack my top-ten favorite Stephen King books list; however, I think this was a very solid book for King and one I'm glad to own.
Think I will be reading "Blind Voices" by Tom Reamy next. Have had it in my to-read pile for quite a while and am finally ready to give it a go. Hope it lives up to the Bradbury comparisons.

Started The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman.
Epic fantasy isn’t usually my thing, but I’ve yet to be disappointed by a Buehlman book, so thought I’d give this one a read.
100 pages in & liking it so far.

I looked this up on Amazon and it sounds pretty good. How much of the book is new authors versus reprints of Lovecraft, Blackwood, etc.?

I'm going to load up on Newman books, for sure. Novella and book as a whole highly recommended.
