Read it. Pretty good.
Reading The Rough Guide to Horror. Essential material for any true horror fan.

Saw that rough guide at barnes and noble before. Looks pretty sweet. Another great one is Killing For Culture. Explores the facts and myths about snuff films and countless movies based on snuff films or so called documentaries/mockumentaries that focus on death. Covers films such as Hardcore, Cannibal Holocaust, and Mondo Cane.

Ed Lee's Slither-reads like a grade b horror film. Decent time waster.

Reading Red Leaves by Thomas H. Cook......very sad, well paced novel about a family falling apart as their son becomes the suspect in the disappearence of a little girl. Also reading Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman off and on. Big Gaiman fan, alternates between dark, humorus and fantastic, I think he is definitely one of the best fantasy writers writing today.

The Collection by Bentley Little ~ My favorite thing in the world just about is a horror short story, so really enjoying it so far.
The Pact by Jodi Picoult ~ family drama about romantically involved teenagers that make a suicide pact, which one survives. Not far enough along to have an opinion yet, really.

Finished The Nova Express. Great stuff. I also read Chomsky's Profit Over People which is a fucking brilliant analysis of Globalization. Now I am reading Karl Marx's Capital Vol. 1.

The Stand is a great book, man. A little long and drawn out sometimes at almost 1,000 pages but still a great story

Just started reading The House On The Borderland by William Hope Hodgson and it is fucking great. The book is pretty short, but very captivating. Its really hard to put down. It mixes sci/fi and horror, and it was written before WWI. H.P. Lovecraft said that this book and other books by Hodgson were a huge influence on his writing. So if your into H.P. Lovecraft, then this is a must for you to check out.

Just finished The Great War by Les Carlyon - a history of Australian involvement on the Western Front in WW1. Possibly the best book I have read in years - he manages to humanise the conflict in a very powerful way. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in Australian or military history.
Currently reading Jeffery Deaver's 'More Twisted' (short stories)
