I read The Darkest Part of the Woods, and I have purchased The Overnight but I just couldn't wait for The Grin of the Dark. I'm glad I didn't as I am absolutely loving it so far. I have to admit that it is definately one of the very best that I've read!
I'm reading several of the stories in the anthology Damned Nation, edited by David T. Wilbanks and Robert N. Lee. So far my two favorite stories in it are Das Hollenfeuer by Mark Justice and Dark Return by William F. Nolan. I'm not reading them in order however so that shouldn't reflect badly on any before them. I'm also trying to read some short stories from The Horror Hall of Fame anthology by Silverberg and Greenberg. Right now I'm reading The White People by Arthur Machen because it is supposed to be one of the all time greats. It's pretty good so far but it could use a lot more paragraph breaks (there is a section of like 7 pages with only two breaks in it).
I've just finished The Shining - again! Every few years I read it - it's quite possibly my favourite book of all time. It's so well written, I love it, it's timeless.
I finished Apparitions a few days ago and loved it. It has received five out of five stars from all four reviews that have been posted on Amazon so far.
Im reading something My friend gave me... its called "shiver" by Lisa Jackson.... its pretty good so far someone aked if anyone knew any other good authers out there besides king.... Dean Koontz is great of corse, I've read some books by Robbert McCammon that are really good, Simon Clark is good, John Saul, .... I've read a couple from Richard Laymon that i've like as well.... however its kindof hit and miss with him.... he's a little out there... .
I'm reading a book I picked up from a Half-Priced Book Store clearance bin for a dollar and loving it. It's Soul-Eater by Dana Brookins. It's the whole haunted house sort of thing but it isn't a run of the mill type. I had about five books that I was trying to choose between and I didn't expect this to be the one but I read the first paragragh of each book and this one grabbed me and has held my interest ever since. It's from 1985 but is very well written and full of mystery.

I just recently finished Darkest Part of the Woods and thought it was one of Campbell's best. I'm always amazed by not only how prolific Campbell is, but how he delivers each and every time. Even the short stories. The man is really quite a phenome. I have not read anything by him I haven't liked. I've been enjoying Stephen Jones Best New Horror Anthologies, too lately. I look for the older, out of print versions in used bookstores. He has some good taste.

I still have that somewhere and have been meaning to read it again. Another thing I love about Campbell, that you an read all his work over and over. I'll definitely have to get the new one. I also missed Secret Story. What did you think of Count of Eleven and Midnight Sun?

ALONE WITH THE HORRORS is essential reading, as are most books by Campbell. I very much enjoyed THE COUNT OF ELEVEN and MIDNIGHT SUN, but ANCIENT IMAGES remains one of my favorites. Conversely, I didn't like THE DOLL WHO ATE HIS MOTHER at all.
Yeah, Ancient Images was great also. It would probabley rank second behind Incarnate of my favorite Campbell novels. I never read The Doll Who Ate His Mother. I tried but just couldn't really get into it.

I must be in that slipshod, forgotten crowd because I read it twice. Granted that was fifteen or so years ago. I still can't really remember it. Maybe that's why.

I'm not reading anything at the moment, which sucks, but I did just finish Thomas Tessier's Wicked Things, which was great until the rather abrupt and unsatisfying conclusion.
