I just finished The Blue Blazes by Chuck Wendig. I'm also starting another one of his books Mockingbird.
I'm halfway through Beautiful Sorrows by Mercedes M. Yardley, but I'm having a little trouble with it. Even though I love reading on my Kindle there's something about this book in particular that DEMANDS a physical copy. I need to touch it as I read it. Weird.

I recently finished NOS4A2 by Joe Hill, The Year of the Storm by John Mantooth, and The Day and the Hour and Drone by Ennis Drake. I highly recommend them all. Now I'm reading Stephen King's Joyland and loving it so far.

Finished John Ringo's "Under A Graveyard Sky" (zombie apocalypse) eARC a day or two ago. Great work. Simply great. Quite a few surprises scattered about here and there, but overall I can't recommend this one enough.
Just finished reading Stephen King's Cell, again. I actually do love that book. And James Herbert's The Magic Cottage just found its way to the top of my to read pile.
I'm reading 'The Professional' by W C Heinz. I'm trying to ration it, because I'm waiting on 'Cold Mountain' and 'Skagboys' by Irvine Welsh, but neither has turned up yet, and I hate being without a book.

Just started Douglas Clegg's Neverland. I love the voice so far. Is this what they call "Southern Gothic?" It's definitely Southern.

I just finished Molly Tanzer's decidedly Lovecraftian A Pretty Mouth. Enjoyable!
Next up is Jeanette Winterson's The Daylight Gate. I loved Helen Dunmore's The Greatcoat (also from the Hammer Horror publishing arm), so I'm looking forward to reading Winterson's take on 'horror' — and I've always been fascinated by the Pendle witch trials.

Blue World is great, particularly the short story in the collection the book is named for. Also love Nightcrawlers. McCammon is one of the best...

Planning to start The Shining soon. There's a new(ish?) edition out, and I somehow never got around to this one, so I decided it's time.
I am re-reading some of Edgar Allen Poe's stories. Some of these things I've read about 20 or 30 times, never gets old.
Finished reading John Ringo's "Manxome Foe" (plenty of nightmare fuel in that book even though it is military sf) and have read a great deal of the definitely nightmare fuel wiki for The SCP Foundation (and just started reading the Leaks section).

Poppet by Mo Hayder
You know, I'm not usually *scared* by the horror I read. But this one?
From the first scene I was uneasy reading alone.
Also, didn't realize this was part of a series. And I kinda jumped into the middle. May have to go back and read the others...

Going through the Dresden files, quick and easy and good for in
between jobs.
I think I will reread From a Buick 8 next, I was surprised how much I liked it.

I liked it! Different than the movie (obviously) but I think a fan of one will enjoy the other. I'm looking forward to the sequel, Dr. Sleep, due to come out soon.
I wanted to get into Lisey's Story from King but I could only handle about 60 pages of it before I decided that i couldn't do it anymore. I was forcing myself to push through but I had World War Z on the way, so I'll be starting that instead!
