Anthology of short horror fiction where the authors aren't afraid to go the distance with disturbing imagery and situations. So far, pretty decent short stories.


Actually, the title is, Year's Best Hardcore Horror, Vol. I. Sorry.

Just started reading Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger. I read it every year. It's one of my favorite books. I find I can really relate to the main character, Holden Caulfield.

I must read a Holden rant once a month on average, ever since I encountered it many years ago I just feel like flicking through it at random and getting a big bang out of whatever page it is. Once I read it whilst walking down some obscure lanes in the countryside and almost got ran over, I actually yelled out 'Drive properly, you phoney!' lol.

I'm reading Moby Dick by Melville and Underworld by Don DeLillo.

I just finished A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Housseini. It follows two women as they deal with the Taliban occupation of Pakistan. I started The One Hundred Year Old Man Who Jumped Out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson today. So far I am only a few pages in, not all that sure what direction the book is going to take!

I have just finished Paul Blackwell's "Undercurrent", an excellent Twilight Zone'ish book about a guy who wakes up in an alternate universe.

I am now rereading Janni Lee Simner's "Bones of Faerie" so I can start on its sequel "Faerie Winter". I read Bones of Faerie years ago, but never got around to reading the rest of it. It's a very good dystopian series about life after the war between humans and faeries.

Yeah, I was going to ask this. When I searched for extreme horror on amazon I saw rape fantasies come to life.

Not my sort of thing... the rape fantasies, that is.

"Gollyweister" by W. B. Emerson. It's a funny novel about this rich writer who has Asperger's.

this mess of a book.

Image

i read it when i was young and some things about it have been disturbing me for awhile.

so i figured i should read it again as an adult for a better perspective.
