I will have it soon. I have two more books to read before the end of the year and the one I'm reading now just might make the list. Hint, it's a new Rick Hautala novel. |

1. Breed: Chase Novak - I really don't understand why this one hasn't resonated more with horror readers. It was on Stephen King's 2012 list and this book about two kids whose parents are turning into werewolves was the most fun I had reading a book this year. Thrills, humour, scares and genuine emotional weight makes this my pick for 2013. 2. The Good Son: Michael Gruber - A compelling analysis of politics, religious fanaticism and America's adventures abroad wrapped around a thrilling action movie of a novel. Entertaining and illuminating. 3. Doctor Sleep: Stephen King 4. NOS4A2 - Joe Hill 5. Cataract City - Craig Davidson 6. Raylan - Elmore Leonard 7. The Summer I Died / Born to Bleed - Ryan C. Thomas 8. Bobcat and othe stories - Rebecca Lee 9. Last Call for the Living - Peter Farris 10. The Shining Girls - Lauren Beukes |

This list is pretty much impossible for me this year, as I can't even remember what books I read for the first 6 months of the year (although it wasn't very many). So I'll stick to the last 10 that I know I read, because really, you can't go wrong with these - assuming you read the prior novels first, of course. Harbingers by F. Paul Wilson Bloodline by F. Paul Wilson By the Sword by F. Paul Wilson Ground Zero by F. Paul Wilson The Touch by F. Paul Wilson The Peabody-Ozymandias Traveling Circus & Oddity Emporium by F. Paul Wilson Reprisal by F. Paul Wilson Fatal Error by F. Paul Wilson The Dark at the End by F. Paul Wilson Nightworld by F. Paul Wilson |

I'm readying my petition to the government of Zuma for book subsidies because Tony is going to make me go broke trying to read some of these. |

Ha! The vast majority of these were e-books Thad. Though I did purchase some paper ones at the cons I attended last year. I rarely buy paper books from Amazon anymore. I know you swear against e-books, but there are some great deals to be had. |
