Last night I re-read "Edward Randolph's Portrait," by Hawthorne...my first Kindle read! One of the creepiest stories I've ever read, but I'm still getting the hang of the friggin' Kindle machine!) Edward Lee |

Kindle is great. Everything is much cheaper and if a book is really shit you can refund with a couple of clicks on your computer. |

Finished High Life. It was free in my Kindle library although I still might buy it. Not sure what to think yet. lol. Fucked up shit with lot's of fucking and shit. I thought the prose was really good but I kinda feel like John Copeland did. There is not one single likable character in the whole fucking book. I'm gonna read Video Night by Adam Cesare next to give my brain a break and then read Pushed (sequel to Held) by Kimberely Bettes. Also bought a pro wrestling/horror book called Ugly as Sin by James Newman whom I've never heard of. I know it won't be Goon or Muerte Con Carne but hopefully it will be good. |

Yeah Jim, between the jackhammer scene, all the Rosie scenes, the morgue scenes and all the male on male graphic sex, I needed a shower and lots of soap and I still don't feel clean. That's probably the most disgusted I've been since Dread in the Beast or Poisoning Eros. |

I can't wait for his upcoming book, Colony of Whores. I've read an excerpt, and it's a lot in the vein of High Life, and takes place in the same area, Santa Monica and Hollywood |

Okay, Ugly as Sin by James Newman was not horror or about Pro Wrestling. It was noir about a ex pro wrestler who had been disfigured badly and has to help out his daughter who he had never been there for. Good book but after reading it I bought his other book Wicked and it was MUCH better. Reminded me of Laymon meets old Little. Pushed by Kimberly Bettes was not as good as Held but still pretty good. Video Night by Adam Cesare was a fun romp that brings up memories of the 80's. I think Dutchgorelover would love this book because it had a Alan Spencer vibe to it but in my opinion MUCH better than B-Movie Attack. Everyone here needs to read Stork by Shane McKenzie! Hands down one of the best novellas I've ever read. Wrath does the intro and he isn't kidding about what's to follow. Happy Reading! |

High Life sounds pretty outrageous; I'll have to get it. As for McKenzie, yes, he's a true master of hardcore. Pus Junkies made me truly nauseous! Can't remember if I mentioned this but I just read a story called The Defiled by Christine Morgan, and it makes my Ur-Locs in Succubi look like a bunch of baby bunny rabbits hopping around! Latr!

Wetbones. I totally agree. I had already read the collection but all I remembered about The Defiled was that it had Vikings. After Ed posted, I went back and read it again. Totally brutal! I wonder if she got the idea from Richard Laymon. Hopefully she will write some more hardcore horror. |

That's a great looking book; I hadn't seen it. (I read the story as a file.) Anyway, she has quite a flair for the absolutely revolting! Edward LEe PS--can't remember if I mentioned it but I recently re-red the story It Grows on You by Stephen King. Holy smokes, I forgot how good it was! King brilliantly uses the house as the main point of character study just as Lovecraft did in Shunned House. I wish King would write a sequel or prequel to this. |

I need to go back and re-read It Grows on You. The title sounds familiar, but the story has slipped my mind completely. I'm a huge King fan, and have always thought he does his far and away best horror work in his short stories. There's a strong Matheson vibe in a lot of them that isn't there in his longer works (not to disparage the novels at all). |

Finished Ghouls... Amazing!!! Why did I put this off for so long? And when the hell is a hardcover coming out?? Half way through J F Gonzalez's Back From the Dead... Killer story. Super original, and very twisted. Makes me think of the Dnepropetrovsk killers in Ukraine. |

Did I mention this in another thread? Can't remember anything these days! Anyway, I recently re-read The Depths by Ramsey Campbell. It's one of the most powerful hardcore horror stories I''ve ever read, and when I say hardcore I mean that Campbell himself details almost nothing in the piece but with his imcomparable craft and genius, uses the power of suggestion to force the reader to dredge up up the most hideous, obscene, and revolting considerations. I'd forgotten about this story (written, I think, in the late 70s). Check it out if you haven't. I'm not typically a proponent of the "less is more" theorum but it definitely rings true with Campbell as well as his favorite authors Lovecraft and MR James. DAMN, what a great story! Best Edward Lee |

The Serpent of Venice, by Christopher Moore. The dude does comedy better than just about anyone. |

Recently read The Thicket by Joe Lansdale. It's possibly the best of his novels that I've read. Really funny, in the vein of his short stories but told in first person, which I am not usually a fan of. Maybe tied with Sunset and Sawdust as my favourite Lansdale novel. Now reading Bad News by Donald Westlake. Brilliant as usual. |

Infernal Angel is probably my favorite of my novels; thanks for getting it. I don't remember if I mentioned this but I recently read Dinner with the Cannibal Sisters by Doug Clegg; it's a novella from CD and the production is gorgeous. And the story? Absolutely outstanding! Best Edward Lee |
