Beautiful writing from a crucial voice in contemporary horror.

Fantastically quick read that‘s like nothing else I‘ve read.

Don‘t typically post stuff about my own book here, but the new paperback is hitting shelves March 5, and it‘s got this amazing cover I just wanted to share.

First edition, mint condition of BOY‘S LIFE cost me five bucks at Half Price Books. That‘s a find.

So Richard Adams wrote an erotic ghost story?!? Anyone know this one?

Evocative, strange. I‘m digging it.

“What other hardier pioneer would come, hatchet in hand, to cut down the dark copses?”

Can‘t put it down.

Anyone read any of these editions? They‘re delightful!

Digging this one.

This and our hotel room. I‘m happy.

THE NIGHTLY DISEASE reads like it was written by a great Russian existentialist held at knife-point by Jim Jarmusch and Tobe Hooper, who force the guy to take his pants off. Meanwhile, one Cohen brother and a magical realist stand by watching. I love it.

Midnight reading.

Got a great autographed copy of this one from Dale LeFleur of Fleur Fine Books in Port Neches, Texas. It's amazing, if you don't know it.

Undertaking a BIG re-read this week. Has it really been 27 years already?

Too bad I don't have 800 bucks to feed the monkey.

This one left me in gooseflesh.

Marking it from $20 to $15 can't change one simple fact: that clown is LICKING that clock.

Working my way through vampires and werewolves in the swamps. Do love me some SWAMP THING.

Here is a collection of weird and beautiful fiction. If you're drawn to literary horror, as I am these days, Michael Wehunt's GREENER PASTURES should be top of your list. Outstanding prose threading through a series of tales that reveal only a modicum of their mystery. Can't recommend enough.

A solemn, beautiful collection of weird.

"I went about my daily work, as every man must do, if sane, although he may have seen the dead rise up or freed a bottled djinn or fought a dragon, once, quite long ago." -- "The Howling Man"

Came across this in Barnes and Noble, of all places, a couple weeks after hearing William F. Nolan and Jason Brock extol the virtues of California horror at StokerCon. I have a new passion. :)

"All at once, it was the most important thing in the world for Dan to come fishing with me. I can't say exactly why that should have been." -- the exact moment this novel hooked me.

"Their grief wasn't his to bear, he knew. But it was inside him all the same, like a secret entrusted to a messenger." Beautiful, strange, haunting novel. Never quite read anything like it.

He kept me up at night with his illustrations and fired my imagination. Rest In Peace, Berni Wrightson.

One of the more startling and unnerving chapter ends I've ever read...

She said, "So my question is this. Does Angel the vampire keep a pair of black leather pants in his closet? Just in case?"

Really digging Buehlman's vampires. Finished this one up and jumped right into SUICIDE MOTOR CLUB. Great prose that reads so fast. My new favorite adjective for a good read: "propulsive."

THE FIREMAN is ambitious and satisfying. Most importantly, Joe Hill's affinity for MARY POPPINS and the original PETE'S DRAGON is great. He's never disappointing.

By turns dark, funny, terrifying, and unbearably suspenseful, THE HEAVENLY TABLE is a moving piece of fiction about the roles that kindness, cruelty, mercy, and chance play in shaping human ends. And the book doesn't discount faith, even in its darkest moments. A great novel.

A debut novel worthy of the accolades it's receiving, THE INFINITE is a lyrical, heartbreaking portrait of first love and the mysteries that lie beyond it. Can't recommend this highly enough.

THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER is a magical, terrifying, beautiful read. It's a book so fresh it feels as if it were written yesterday. Had a student at a reading ask me once what my favorite book was. Answer: this one. It gave us Charles Laughton's filmic masterpiece, sure, but it deserves to be remembered in its own right. Can't recommend enough.
