Yes, loads.

I really like his pulpy trashy style.The sort of thing i start then can't put down. His novels are full of sex and sick violence, often at the same time.
I've read off the top of my head - (There are others)

Island
Dark Mountain
Savage
Quake
Stake
The Travelling Vampire Show
Dreadful Tales


I own quite a few of his novels but never get round to reading them as they are all out of sight in a large built in wardrobe. The on show shelf space was long taken up by dvd's.

Has anyone read any of John Wyndam's books, Day Of The Triffids, Midwich Cuckoos etc. Read them years ago, going to pick them up again soon. Very highly recommended.

Read Midwich Cuckoos because i love the original village of the damned, quite interestingly it mentions the phenomena happening in other areas too, good book.

Somewhere in a stack upstairs I've got one, Blood Games (??) I think. Got totem poles on the cover.
Another charity shop purchase I've not got close to reading yet.

Back in the late 90's early 00's i bought and read a lot of fantasy series from authors like David Gemmell, David Eddings and Raymond Feist. For some reason Terry Brooks Shannara series passed me by.

Interested to know what you think of them, Trebor.

I remember really liking them, the books that got me into reading fantasy, but it's been years since I've read them and a TVs series has been done of the shannara series ( starting with Elfstones ) which made me order them to see how much is different.
