Alarums probably won't wow you but it definitely kept me interested, it was a tragic tale spurred on by greed, jealousy, envy, and lust.

Fiction; I'm just embarking on a re-read of Jeff Lindsay's Dexter series, in preparation for his next novel "Dexter's Final Cut".
While the TV series is definitely very enjoyable imo, the novels are infinitely better - darker, more twisted, and completely free of television polish and any need to worry about actors' contracts. The humour is blacker, the story lines much more outré, tha characters far more interesting. Kudos to Showtime for making a half-decent TV adaptation, but for me the novels are in a different league entirely. Non-fiction; Just finished reading (for the second time) "By Sword and Fire - Cruelty and Atrocity in Medieval Warfare" by Sean McGlynn. An absorbing and at times uncomfortable read on the general topic of the treatment of non-combatants (including prisoners) in medieval conflicts. Definitely worth finding if you're into history/sociology/human nature and the generally horrific. Last edited by Sicknero; 08-30-2013 at 03:48 PM. |

Just finished 11-22-63 by Stephen King- awesome! Its not Horror, but just a cool ride into the past. A young teacher befriends a local diner owner who has a secret in the back storage room of his restaurant- a porthole to the year 1958, the two devise a plan to go back in time to kill Lee Harvey Oswald before he assassinates JFK.

I just started on Next by Michael Crichton last week, and so far it's really good. It's not horror, but it's an interesting read.

Cell isn't my favorite by King, but it was a fun read. The opening is intense.
