The Good The Bad And The Multiplex by Mark Kermode. Excellent stuff so far. Has a lot of laugh out loud moments in it. Well written and thoroughly engaging. I expect that trend to remain throughout the book. Loving every minute so far |

I don't think i'll be bothering with Doctor Sleep. From your remarks and the fact i don't rate The Shining it's one to steer clear of for me.

Recently 'discovered' the late Charles L Grant, the prolific US horror author. Currently reading 'Nightmare Seasons', which is a four novella collection, set in the fictional town of Oxrun Station. Really enjoying this, and have been hunting down his other Oxrun collections and novels. Like a couple of other authors I've read for the first time this year - Alan Ryan and Michael McDowell, I don't know how I missed them, back in the 'horror boom' of the 80's. Oh well, plenty of good stuff to look forward to! |

Should really update on this thread once in a while.... So here goes. Finished all 40 discworld novels. A worthy project and one worth repeating at some point. For now I am reading Bernard Cornwell's SHARPE books. I'm reading them chronologically rather than in order of publication (so the Sharpe in India books came first) Just finished Sharpe's Eagle. |

The Taxidermist's Daughter by Kate Mosse. An elegant Gothic tale set the Sussex marshes in 1912. Kate Mosse can certainly create an atmosphere of dread and her description of death and taxidermy is quite beautiful. The story moves along at a decent pace with it's dark mist enshrouded setting reminiscent of The Woman in Black. I'm currently half way through this enjoyable novel, and the aforementioned descriptive prose is captivating and haunting. An ideal November read by the fireside. |
