I'm currently reading Jack Ketchum, Tim Lebbon, T.M Wright and Edward Lee.

Ketchum's RED

Lebbon's UNATURAL SELECTION

Wright's HOUSE ON ORCHID STREET

Lee's COVEN

I just finished Michael Moorcock's BEHOLD THE MAN as well. Can't believe I never read that one.

So far RED is making my "desert island" list, along with Bukowski's WOMEN.

Finished "Coven", and just like I thought I wasn't let down, it's not that I find these books scarry, just great stories which can conjure up some great images, gonna give Ed a break for now and next up is Tim Lebbon "Until she sleeps".

Jack Staynes · **Posted:** Fri Mar 17, 2006 2:38 pm

Finished "Untill she sleeps" pretty quick, was a nice good solid read, that's the first Tim Lebbon book I read and it sure ain't gonna be the last. Also finished Ed Lee and Patrick Lestewka Mother Bitchfight, only 60 pages, but worth every penny. Really did enjoy that. Now I've started Bryan Smith's "Deathbringer", seems like it's gonna be good. Oh, and I read SKins of Youth by Charlee Jacob and Mehitobel Wilson. I'm not a fan of short stories but stick them in a chap book and I love them, both really good stories by talented ladies.

Currently digesting A CANTICLE FOR LEIBOWITZ by Walter M. Miller, Jr.. No indigestion so far. In fact, it's delicious! URP!!!

Finished "Deathbringer", really was good. Fast paces and original, gonna have to get me a copy of "house of Blood" now to go with it. Started Charlee Jacobs "Wormwood Nights",not sure what to go for next, but I had better make my mind up quick, cause this is just a Chap Book.

Reading Creepers by David Morrell. Slow starting, but I'm hoping it gets into its stride before long.

Jack Staynes · **Posted:** Wed Mar 29, 2006 5:06 am

Finished "Wormwood nights", yeah I'll definetly be on the look out for more Charlee Jacob, Also finished "Deadlands" by Scott A Johnson, what a brilliant Zombie tale that was. if you've not read it have a look for a copy.

Now I'm on to "Fetish" by J. F. Gonzalez. Alot of pressure has been put on this book by all the people telling me how great it is. I wanted to keep it for ages before haivng to read it, but now the hype was getting so bad I thought if I don't read it now it will never live up to it...I was wrong. I'm only half way done, but it brillaint, you can tell an awfull lot of research has gone into this puppy, and it's writen by a master of the genre. Really am liking the J.F. Gonzalez books I've read so far.

"Fetish" is done, really good, although I'm still digesting the ending trying to sort it out.

Not sure what to read next, picked up 3 or 4 books only to put them down again after a couple of pages.

Might get into some Brian Keene short stories in "Fear of Gravity".

Just finished Tim Lebbons Dusk, recomened it to any who loves gritty fantasy with balls.

Jack Staynes · **Posted:** Sun Apr 09, 2006 7:32 am

"Fear of Gravity" is over, really was good, not a great fan of short stories, but I liked these ones. Now I'm into "Succulent Prey" by Wrath JAmes White...it's got me by the balls.

CAO · **Posted:** Mon Apr 10, 2006 5:09 am

Succulent Prey is one intense hardcore read. Try Survivor by J.F. Gonzalez next.

Jack Staynes · **Posted:** Mon Apr 10, 2006 12:53 pm

I've done Survivor, intense that was, left me feeling the same way, Jack Ketchum's Girl Next door did.

sdkdmd · **Posted:** Tue Apr 11, 2006 5:27 pm

Blood Red / James Moore
Dragonfly /Brian Knight
Terminal / Brian Keene
The Turtle Boy / Kealan Burke

All very good reads. I recommend them all.

Just finished reading Dale Bailey's novel House of Bones. It was good for the most part. It reminded me of that movie House on Haunted Hill in a way.

Now, I am going to start another book..haven't decided on what book, though...

Jack Staynes · **Posted:** Fri Apr 21, 2006 3:06 am

"Succulent Prey" was amazing, really blew me away, can't wait for "His Pain" I hope you've all pre-ordered it.

Since then I read "Dead Souls" by David G. Barnett. Some really good short stories in there. My favorite was probably "The Hill", I like a tale about Nam.

Last night, I finaly started "The Bighead", it's been a long time coming, but I wanted to keep it for as long as possible, can't wait to get stuck into it now.

I'm done with "INCUBI"

Edward Lee never ceases to amaze me, every story is a real ride. I do wish we could clone him so there's a constant production of Edward Lee books.

Today I've just begun "Descendant" by Graham Masterton. It's time for something British, and British horror don't get much better than Masterton.

CAO · **Posted:** Tue May 09, 2006 4:14 am

Hey Jack,
Have you read Ever Nat by Lee yet? A very sick read, but I assure you some good chuckles after you finish it.

Jack Staynes · **Posted:** Tue May 09, 2006 1:42 pm

Yeah CAO I read "Ever Nat", your right, it raised some chuckles, but I'll never eat Pumpkin soup again.

Jack Staynes · **Posted:** Thu May 11, 2006 5:08 pm

Finished "Descendant" by Graham Masterton, I found it a solid vampire story, not on Par with the "Necroscope" series...but then again nothing is. I've not read as much Masterton as I should have working where I do, but I'm glad I had the chance to get this one.

Now onto "Bully" by J. F. Gonzalez. This one snuck to the front of the to be read queue, sneaky little thing. Got high hope for this, I'll get back to you all in a few days.

By the way, either hardly anyone can be bothered to post in here...or you all read slower than old people F***

Jack, some of Masterton's work is among my favourite books, but at the moment I'm reading Robert McCammon's Gone South, which I picked up second hand a couple of months ago. So far it's a good read.
