just read this morning #20 - #30 of the Walking Dead comic series.

[chewy]

I'm currently reading Skipp & Spector's Book of the Dead II: Still Dead, an anthology of zombies stories that was published in 1992 during the peak of the splatterpunk movement. Next will be the first Book of the Dead, which they had published in 1989. I used to have copies of both of these, but I loaned them out somewhere around 95-96 and never saw them again. Seeing as to how these were some of the best zombie stories I ever read and the books have been out of print for years, I decided it'd be worthwhile to track down used copies on Amazon. Highly recommended to all zombie fans.

hmm. is it like the book of all flesh?

[chewy]

hmm. is it like the book of all flesh?

Good question. I never read that one. Both of the books I mentioned are really good, though. Kathe Koja, Elizabeth Massie, Ramsey Campbell and Stephen King are just a few of the authors you'll find in them. Each book has about 20 stories from different authors, with the stories averaging about 10-15 pages each. Really good stuff. It's a hell of a lot better than most of the tripe that passes for horror fiction now.

Oh, yeah... The introduction in book 1 was written by GAR, and the intro in book 2 was written by Savini.

You're welcome. Let me know what you think of Massie's Abed in book 2. I still rank that one as one of the most disgusting and disturbing short stories I have ever read. It has really stood the test of time.:)

I suggest NO ONE watch that movie. The entire plot seems diffrent at times. In the book, (500 pg+) there is no real Human slavery. Man is near extinct. The protagonist is much more a specimen of Human body and mind and the strugle of Man vs alien is more profound and meaningful. Great book!

still reading the freakshow.. its twisted.. not the greatest though.

[TheDeadHarlequinQueen]

I just got through reading Lust and now I'm moving on to envy. Lust was a good book, but it made me angry because of all the teenage drama in it.

[zombiekilling101]

read the Freakshow. It was a brutal read and some parts. but seemed a tad rushed towards the end.

about 100 pages through Underland. The US paranormal division recruits an old ass vampire to go to inner earth at antartica to stop the naziz. in ww2 they fled there and are advanced. :)

I'm currently reading Storm Front by Jim Butcher. It's the first book in The Dresden Files series. It's pretty good so far. I'm about halfway through it.

Its a tad slow and the author likes to describe every fricken thing. but right now their interogating the vamp and its very interesting. Next there going to send in 3 of the best humans to try to kill him with a stake to gauge his strength.

[Cornflakes]

Right now I'm reading Les Liaisons Dangereuses. I watched untold scandal and really enjoyed it so my mum gave me her copy of the book and told me I find it far better. Trying to get used to the story being in a letter format, I always feel weird reading a letter not adressed to me!

I just finished reading Salem's Lot by Stephen King. It was pretty good.

Told ya. The ending just kills it, doesn't it? The beginning was really promising, which made the let-down all the worse. I haven't looked at either of the other books in the series, and I really don't want to.

I'm currently reading And Eternity by Piers Anthony and Ringworld by Larry Niven. The first is the last of a series that I never got a chance to finish, and I embarassed myself at the bookstore when I saw the second and realized that I'd never gotten around to reading it.

The Wizard of Sunset Strip: Simon Hawke

[Zombieboy]

hmm sounds interesting

what happens after the south won?

Well they essentially held the North down, made political allies of the British (who still had Canada), Russia, and France, isolating the North...until the WWI timeframe when the North pumped up their Army and made new allies in the form of the Germans, the Quebecis (who were itching to break away from Britain) and the Ottomans, who also came out ahead in this alternative history. General Custer did not die at Little Bighorn and he was responsible for the North's heavy investment in 'Barrels', great armored, lumbering machines, but hey, they were the new cavalry and he loved them. The North did not win WWI with that alone though. There is a lot of political stuff going on as well, Republicans are out (After all Lincoln LOST the war), Socialist rose in their place.

The books follow a series of characters and each progresses the tale a bit further, a few of them run into each other, most do not.

[ZombieDiva]

I just finished Roses of Blood on Barbwire Vines, by DL Snell. If you like vampires, and zombies, then it's for you! The story is very poetic, and even erotic. I loved it, and it really never did let up from beginning to end. It was inspired by his short story, Limbless Bodies Swaying, which is also another goodie, btw. I'm really digging him right now.

I mostly only read zombie fiction right now. I am a fan of vampires and other horror, but there is so much coming out in zombie literature right now, I can't possibly run out of stuff to read!

[zombiekilling101]

the underland book is really picking up. I would suggest it at this point.

I just finished Envy today. It was so good! I can't wait to start on the next book in the series.

Glad you're enjoying the book, Dent! I'd love to hear what you think when you finish.

I'm currently reading MIDNIGHT TOUR, the third book in Richard Laymon's Beast House series. THE CELLAR, the first book in the series, I liked the best. A few months later I read the second novel, THE BEAST HOUSE, which was also pretty good, although slower paced. I like how it builds on the history of the house and the origins of the beast.

After I finished that one, I went directly to MIDNIGHT TOUR, which was kind of a mistake. The first quarter or so of each book repeats the Beast House tour, only from the perspectives of different characters. Some new information is added here or there, but it's mostly the same thing. I didn't mind it so much in THE BEAST HOUSE--it had been a while since I'd read THE CELLAR so the refresher course was in order--but it gets kind of repetitive in MIDNIGHT TOUR because I read it so soon after the second book. MIDNIGHT is a thick one, though, so I suspect it will build into something gruesome and memorable.

[devourthesun]

Finished "Storm Front" and I'm working on "Bad Moon",book 2 of the dresden files now.

[DentFoster]

Glad you're enjoying the book, Dent! I'd love to hear what you think when you finish.
Twas' good. Very poetic & occationally erotic.

Just re-read H.P. Lovecrafts The Nameless City and just started Monster Planet by David Wellington.

[zombiekilling101]

reading dead sea..

[skelington]

A friend lent me a copy of Frogs into Princes by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. It's about neuro linguistic programming not really sure what that is but I have been short on something new to read for awhile so this should be pretty interesting.

Just finished Monster Planet and now starting Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows.

[TheDeadHarlequinQueen]

I finished New Moon yesterday. It was 536 pages long and I didn't have much time for reading so all in all I finished in about 3 or 4 days. It was a really good book but it left too many questions unanswered... kind of like there will be another book to follow this one. It's a book that mixes vampires and werewolves... kind of like Underworld.

[zombiekilling101]

finished dead sea. meh

Mispelled it before here it is.
"Freakonomics." By Levitt and Dubner... A ROGUE ECONIMIST EXPLORES THE HIDDEN SIDE OF EVERYTHING.

Talks about incentives and cheats. Asks questions like "Why do drug dealers live at home with there moms?"

Discusses some political and social issues. Good read so far!

Now, if you were expecting horror well I guess the name is misleading.

(re)reading H.P. Lovecraft's The Mound

[chewy]

I'm working my way through a collection of Joe R. Lansdale's short fiction, High Cotton.

F*** me runnin'... These are some of the best short stories I've ever read. Last night I read Tight Little Stitches in a Dead Man's Back. Incredible. Fantastic story. A couple of nights ago, I read his story Incident On & Off a Mountain Road that was adapted for Showtime's Masters of Horror series. I thought that episode of MoH was one of the best, but the story is even better. I'm just in awe of this man's writing ability.

[zombiekilling101]
