I finally finished Ghouls. Already thought that one would never end. I'm not saying it was bad - I wouldn't have read it entirely if it was - but it was way too long. Am I wrong or is this really one of his longest works? During reading I pictured Lee being in some kind of manic writing frenzy as he wrote that.  It does have some cool lines though and I liked the general setting and the characters.

Just finished Slither from Edward Lee.Really good read. Very enjoyable. I still have lots of Lee to read, so I'm hoping to crack open Sleep Disorder, followed by Monstrosity and Of Pigs and Spiders. |

Gorch. You got to remember that Ghouls was Ed's first book published under his actual name. It is also his best selling book if I remember correctly. I had already read several Lee books when I snagged a worn paper back off of Ebay for like five bucks. I remember reading it and thinking it was nice being able to read the young Ed Lee writing stuff that hinted at the great things he would become known for in the future. One of these days, against Ed's wishes, I'll read his first two books to see if they are as crappy as he says they are. I somehow doubt it. |

Splatterhead:See my previous posts for my thoughts on Nightbait and Nightlust. I have both and read both. I got them at could not say no prices. Ed hates it when I say this, but Nightbait isn't bad. Nightlust is a little worse. Still not bad though for his first novels. Ghouls however is ten times better than both of the Straker novels. |

I'm fully aware that it was his "first" book and considering this I found it quite readable. I also got Nightbait but won't read it anytime soon. But I'm not sure which to read next. I've read about a third of his books and already own the majority of the rest. So currently I simply have too much to choose from

Have about 10 books on my to-read pile, but finished UNDER THE DOME yesterday. Amazing book! Classic King! Until the ending, that is. Now reading Full Dark, No Stars, and has started off with a bang. Bob |

I'm too broke at the moment to really afford new books very often, so a few weeks ago I plucked Stephen King's IT off the shelf for a second reading. I first read it twelve years ago when I was 15. A little over halfway through and I find I'm appreciating it a lot more now that I'm older. As a teenager I was just wanting to read a book about a scary clown and I was frustrated at how much filler there was between horror scenes (plus I think IT might've been the first full-length adult novel I read outside of the crap my teachers forced on me). Now I'm really enjoying every page, the careful pacing and character development by King are outstanding. I've got Carnal Surgery but I've only read one story so far (Please Let Me Out). I'm trying to let the anticipation build until I've finished IT. Can't wait to read the rest of CS. |

Just finished my copy of Carnal Surgery. I already knew Goddess and Seeker (which I didn't like much btw) but the others were new to me. I liked Please Let Me Out, Gut Shot and Hands the most. I can't help it but I always love the parts where the protagonist visits some psychiatrist/professor/expert and the professional conversation between them as it happens here in Hands as well as in several other Lee titles. And now I am going to check out my first book from John Shirley: Dracula in Love. Have only heard good things about that one. |

Holy SMOKES! I just re-read Edward Lucas White's "Lukundo" (I probably spelled that wrong) for the first time in decades. Its about the most disturbing story I'm aware of to that date, and one of the most disturbing ever. If ya haven't read this, get it! Gorch: Have you ever read Shirley's The Brigade? (or, damn, I probably asked you that already previously--GREAT memory in this head!) It's really cool. His Really, Really Really Weird stories collection is very cool too. Later! Edward Lee |

DRACULA IN LOVE was one of the first John Shirley books I read. Loved it. BRIGADE is probably the only book of his I haven't read. Cool, cool shit. He wrote some clunkers early on but he has soooo many great books to his credit. Wadda guy! |

Thank you. I'll consider this when I am ready to check out more Shirleys. |

I am about 100 pages into Creekers and I am havin' one hell of a time with Scott-boy and Gut! Got a shipment in today with '97 Necro The Bighead(also got a free paperback copy of The Backwoods with my order!) and Haunter of the Threshold HC tray cased #136 of 174! My collection is growing!  Thank you to both of the sellers. I could not be happier. Will be tearing into the Necro version of The Bighead as soon as I'm finished with Creekers.Can't wait to read the different ending. |

I finished Gast and Nightbait recently. Gast was good but believe it or not, I liked Nightbait better It was far from great but not nearly as bad as Lee says it is. I'm just a sucker for big city police thrillers maybe that's why I enjoyed it more than Gast.

Wow, that's a first! Somebody likes Nightbait! Glad you liked it! Edward Lee |

| Post subject: | Re: What are you reading? |
I myself didn't think that Nightbait was bad, and even posted my review in a previous topic. While It wouldn't be the first Lee book I'd recommend, I would tell long time Edward Lee fans to give it a go. |

You're TOO kind, lthrby1! But I can promise that upcoming works will be a bit better! (Can't WAIT for you all to read Dunwich Romance.) Later, Edward Lee |

Reading DEATHGRIP by Brian Hodge. First thing I've read by Hodge, picked it up because I read Lee recommending him somewhere. WOW, this book is incredible thus far, Hodge is quite a talented writer. Thanks for the recommendation, Lee! |

I also own Deathgrip, Nightlife and Prototype from Hodge which I got for next to nothing on ebay a long time ago but haven't read one of them so far. I always wanted to but most of the time I found them to be to long so I chose shorter books instead. |

I actually like longer books, because I can read at my boring ass nightwatchman job. I can read 100 pages a night easy, so a nice long book is good for my current situation. |
