        Funny you would say that. My initial response when I read 'author who Lovecraft detested' I thought, I would probably like him.

          I read the first volume which left me a bit....unimpressed - the stories I found too repetitive.
          I had already pre-ordered vol. 2 and 3, but after finishing this first volume, I canceled.

            They are very much formulaic and of their time but I find them interesting.

              I'm getting them from B&N (for around $20 apiece). I find them interesting, but they are formulaic and not particularly memorable.

                I finished reading Ace Double 78400 The Star Virus by Barrington J Bayley and Mask of Chaos by John Jakes. Now I'm nearing the end of Sorrow Creek by Christopher Fulbright and Angeline Hawkes.

                    Through four chapters. Trying to find the time to finish before I see the authors next Tuesday.

                      How do you feel about it so far?

                        It is good so far. A lot of character development. King is returning to a familiar topic, men abusing women, but so far it is not overpowering the story. The story feels like it is picking up steam now so more to come.

                          Thanks. I probably listen to rather than read it. Although having listen to a good bit of audio books lately; I personally feel it takes away from the story if I've not reading it myself. So might have to make the time. I also wonder if I'll receive a copy via the Stephen King Library since it's co-written with Owen.

                            Before my time off began I finished reading Sorrow Creek. During my vacation time I only read Skulls by Armand Rosamilia. Now, I'm reading a vintage paperback from 1960, The Judas Gun, by Wayne D Overholser that I paid $2.70 for at a Fargo bookstore. The paperback is in good shape all things considered. Cap

                              I just finished Dan Brown's Origin. I love his books - interpreting the symbolism of various ancient civilizations makes you see things in a whole new light.

                                One interesting thing about The Judas Gun paperback (It's interesting to me anyway) is on the back it says Cover Painting by Ronnie Lesser. Cover painting? For a book published in 1960?
