FrightFest

I'm trying to read the enemy but its pretty childish so far. calling zombies 'mothers and fathers'


sigh

Just read Old Flames and Right To Life by Jack Ketchum, yuck Right to Life was a hard read and the pay-off was way too quick!!

Now reading Lucy's Child by Shaun Hutson

Reading Richard Laymons Quake, love Richard Laymons approach to storytelling and quake is the only one of his books i haven't read.

Blurgh. Every one always wears Nike trainers, the women are always athletic and tanned and they all drink Pepsi. Hack.

Exactly!!! Great easy reading usually with a generous helping of sex and violence. Who needs high brow literature, give me horror pulp any day of the week!!

Re reading The Shining at the moment.

can anyone recomend me some horror/ghost novels set in scotland?!We are going to the north east coast for our honeymoon in November and i want some scottish scares to take away with me

Working my way through the books of Ryan David Jahn - Acts of Violence (which I think even won and award recently), Low Life and now I have a proof copy (get me!) of The Dispatcher. Although they are not horror, they do have horrific elements about them and are so gripping you end up whizzing through them in no time.

Okay, finished the Dispatcher - look out for it next year, it's really good - and having whipped through the latest Christopher Fowler Bryant and May book, I'm onto The Harbour by John Ajvide Lindqvist, which is weirdly creepy and, again, beautifully written and translated.

K-Pax

Do graphic novels count? currently getting through:

Kick-Ass
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
Batman: Year One
Batman: What ever happened to that caped crusader?
Batman: Joker
Batman: The Killing Joke

Just getting started on 'The Fall' by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. So far not finding it's gripping me as much as 'The Strain', but it's early doors yet.

Finished Dean Koontz Odd Thomas, Alistair Reynolds House Of Suns and Margaret Attwood The Year Of The Flood. Currently on K J Parker The Company.

I may well start Odd Thomas tonight. I hope it's as good as Brother Odd. It can hardly be worse than Ramsey Campbells To Wake the Dead, which I just finished. I've yet to read anything of his that I like, so I think I'll just give up on his work altogether.
