I was at Half Priced books today and I think I got a few good books to go on the TBR pile. I picked up:

The Pines by Robert Dunbar - I think the author was on the boards here recently, so I took a look at it. I love forests, and always found The Jersey Devil legend fun.

Darkness Tell Us by Richard Laymon about Ouija Board stuff.

Creepers by David Morrell about people exploring abandoned buildings.

I never read anything by any of those authors but all the books sounded interesting. Has anybody read any of them?

I haven't read The Pines, but I will soon, as for the other two...go for it. Creepers is excellent, and Darkness Tell Us is...is Laymon!

I've read Darkness Tell Us and Creepers.

I really don't remember much about Darkness Tell Us but I did enjoy it. It's Laymon... you pretty much know what you're going to get.

Creepers was excellent. I just picked up the sequel Scavengers, but haven't read it yet. I'm visiting Serenity Falls at the moment..

I've actually not read anything by Laymon, so I'm not sure what I'm going to get. Is there something I should know?

Creepers is an excellent read.

** SLIGHT SPOILER**

I liked CREEPERS too. I thought it was a deserving title for the novel. I don't want to speak for Octobernight, but in general, I can see why a horror enthusiast might not have liked the novel. The story does portray an undertone of a haunting, and maybe events being manipulated by a malevolent entity. However, you never truly know and the book does not spell it out for you.

I thought it was a well executed novel full of suspense. As a horror novel, the payoff might not be quite there for most horror lovers. It did do the trick for me, though.

Just a thought...

Thanks for reminding me about the sequel, Laurel. I have to still get it and I am putting it high on my wishlist.
