The Devil Rides Out by Dennis Wheatley. Besides the racist/predjudice language that probably sound enlightened in 1945(when it was published) and racist use of a character its interesting so far and quickly gets into the plot. The writing is also decent.

Truly a gem.

Not everyone's cup of cyanide perhaps but with a back-from-the-dead "Heine" Ace as the supernatural element things are hopping.

The dark is rising.

Classic

Martin Short--I Must Say

so far very good

I just finished Red Dragon. Dunno what to read next, but I like pulling a random story out of my collection of books of scary short stories.

The Lost Level by Brian Keene

WolfCop: Fleshmob

I love the movie so fuggin' much that I couldn't resist and bought it for Kindle. Reading it now and not wanting to put it down. God help me I love that drunk werewolf cop.<33

THE CHOSEN by Edward Lee. Decent little read about a restaurant manager who goes to work at an inn where mysterious things are going on. Lots of raunchy sex and pretty violent in parts, but good character development and liking it so far.

Neat, I read that. It was ok, but its neat because I think it was a small press release? Not too many people read those.

I like small press books myself...sometimes you just gotta take the plunge! Nice to know someone else read it!
CAME A SPIDER by Edward Levy -he also wrote the quite entertaining THE BEAST WITHIN. So far, pretty good, but very similar to all the late 70's "Nature Strikes Back!" books.

I'll add his books to my list, thanks. : )

Just stopped reading The Devil Rides Out by Dennis Wheatley. It may be well researched, but I do not see how this book gets a lot of accolades. The prose is dull. The characters simple, no depth. The brief appearances of monsters are decent, but are very brief. I can get passed the african fetishism, classism, sexism, and stereo-typing of Americans(it was published in 1935 England), but there is very little quality to this writing. By comparison in various Lovecraft stories all of these things were there, but the stories were fantastically written and so forth.
I could not finish it. I came to a point that was so obvious in coming and the type of stupid things we see people do in horror films do to further the plot. It took me a month and a half to read 183 pages, but I wanted to try to finish it. I gave up. Pass on this thing.

I'm now starting Personal Darkness by Tanith Lee. Its the second book in the Blood Opera Sequence. The first Dark Dance was very good. 9/10. The cover makes it look like its about sex, but its not. I highly suggest it.

Just finished Tales of Horror and the Supernatural by Arthur Machen. Great read if you're a fan of of suspense horror, definitely not splatterhouse punk. ::EEK!::

You're welcome::smile::-enjoy! Still reading SPIDER, but close to the end.

The Woods Are Dark by Richard Laymon

I never read the original print, but according to the forward, it's best that way. Really love the writing style. Wastes NO TIME getting to the good stuff.

Never read the edited version, but the original is really great. I looked on ebay and it seems there are copies available of the original.
Anyway, going to show off a bit here:

Now the forward in my book said the original print's cover was crap, but I actually really like it if that's what edition you're showing! Maybe because I prefer a more modest print size and a painterly (at least that's what it looks like in the photo) art cover.

Mine is just flashy words covering the whole damn thing so why even bother with cover art. Explains why they slapped on a photo shopped image of trees behind it.

Mine was a small reprinting of the original. Part of Cemetary Dance's book of the month club, not sure if they're still doing those. Something like 1000 printed or what have you. Got some great books that cost a lot from doing their much cheaper book of the month club. Got a lot of bad books too. : )

Which reminds me of Prodigal Blues by Braunbeck. Got that from the club too and it was outstanding. I posted about it here:

Read my post before reading the info on the book you might find online, you'll see why.

A little more than halfway through CASTAWAYS by Brian Keene...not as much fun as GHOUL or THE RISING, but enjoyable.

Getting ready to start "Bliss" by Brandon Halsey

Starting THE RUINS by Scott Smith...enjoyed the film and will see how the book plays out.

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
by Jules Verne

https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1345280756l/2619685.jpg

This was my first time reading Jules Verne as an adult and I really enjoyed it. This edition contains a few color illustrations by Joseph Ciardiello. Verne gives very detailed descriptions that for modern readers may slow down the pacing of the story. Still visually he paints a vivid tapestry for the reader as he takes us on this absolutely epic underwater adventure. While there are few main characters the comradery between M. Aronnax, Ned Land and Conseil is well developed and at times very heartfelt. Few other characters in fiction are as interesting as the enigmatic Captain Nemo and his Nautilus. I'm looking forward to checking out the sequel "The Mysterious Island".

Sounds great.

Secret of the Wolf by Susan Krinard

It's a dime store romance, but I'm desperate for a werewolf read. And the leading lady takes care of family-less/homeless crazies. How can I not at least check it out.

Have you read the Last Werewolf trilogy, by Glen Duncan?

Not to my recollection. I'll add them to the list. Thanks, Mike 8)

Sadly I'm not the best reader (I can read just fine but my attention span is just 'no'), so my werewolf book library is fairly small. Considering how hard it is to find good books containing the topic of lycanthropes, it's actually a fairly impressive little collection if I do say so myself.

It will hold your attention.

Reading The Devils Of Loudon by Aldous Huxley, for approximately the 5th time.

Murder on the Orient Express

by Agatha Christie

http://pics.cdn.librarything.com/pic...4341587343.jpg

This is the first Agatha Christie novel I've read and what an incredible 'whodunit' it is. The mystery is interesting, the cast rich with colorful characters and the ending reveal was fantastic and unexpected. I am definitely interested in reading the other adventures of detective Hercule Poirot as well as more of Christie's other work.

Stopped reading Incarnate by Ramsey Campbell. Not much was happening half way through except lots of exposition on the people in the story. And that wasn't interesting either. Cut-out characters.

Now rereading Dark Fall by Stephen Laws, read it about 10-12 years ago. An original idea, well through out and presented. Action right keeps happening. Very enjoyable. The writing itself isn't fantastic, but its not too bad. I recommend this book, 6/10 which is a decently high ranking from me. Its about a certain kind of storm which causes people to disappear. Which is a simplification so I do not provide much spoiler info. Also a lot of police procedural stuff. It takes place in the UK...forget which city though. Somewhere in north England I think.

Wife had a good anthology book which I'm perusing...just finished "The Monkey's Paw" by WW Jacobs. What a great spare downright creepy story that is!
