Also snagged me the Complete Dream Cycle of Mr H.P Lovecraft, the Complete Works of Milton & I, Strahd by P.N. Elrod. Oh, almost forgot, also got Unfinished tales by JRR Tolkien :-D

Will more than likely put the others on hold and delve into the lost lore shortly...

[Canker]

Just finished Khai of Ancient Khem. Now I understand why it's Goth Girl's favorite Brian Lumley novel. It was awesome!!!!
Think I have to go pick up the newest release now. :D

[Goth Girl]

It is amazing isn't it! :D

Finally made a start on Anno Dracula, by Kim Newman. Looking good so far!!

[Canker]

Ok I picked up The new Beneath the Moors today. I'm heading to Florida and Disney World first week of May so I needed some good reading for teh "down time" ;) :D

[The Bloody Lady]

Canker, u have *down time* at Disney???

Kane and Abel by Jeffrey Archer, read it a million zillion times but i love it

[topol_sheap]

recently just finished Legacies by F Paul Wilson, which is good, and very funny...

then read the great and secret show by BArker.

Now reading Conspiracies by F Paul wilson...

in the work:
Everviller - Barker
All the Rage - Wilson

Can you see the trend forming.. then I have some C A Smith and A Blackwood to read:)

[Lady Louise]

Just finished Suffer the Children by John Saul - very good.

About to start Creature also by John Saul

[The Bloody Lady]

Lady Louise.....awesome aren't they?

[Lady Louise]

Scarlet
I only found them by mistake - a most excellent read.
:D :D

[Llamedos]

Finished David Edding's books for now, inc Athalus (spelt wrong) Redemption or something. In fact the only one I've not read is the Rivan Codex.

Also finished Honoured Enemy, Feist / Forschen book.

Presently re-reading Hero of Dreams and Demoragon. One's a work book, the other is home book.

[The Bloody Lady]

LOUISE...thats how i came across Brian Lumley!

John Saul is pretty good, at one point in time i had all his books, don't think he's done as many as Brian so it was easy to get them all

still reading Deadspeak

[Goth Girl]

Have just finished American Gods by Neil Gaiman, which was OK, but not as good as his earlier stuff, imho.

[Mike C]

Raeding Crash Dive by John McKinnon.

Just finished Beneath the Moors by the MASTER and I will probably move onto Avengers next since I just got that it paperback.

[topol_sheap]

Just finished Conspiracies, and will have to go to their board to ask a few questions about that (not defecting though!), which I have to say was very good, and my reading list has changed a little... moved on to All the Rage by Wilson now... need to get into the Necros saga again soon....

[NightMare]

Halfway through Mystery Walk by Robert McCammon while i wait for my delivery of Deadspawn.

[The Bloody Lady]

okay, just gone thru a spate of book reading but the 3 i liked most were

Lair-James Herbert
Killing me Softly-Nicci French
3 in a bed-Carmen Reid ( a must for those who are thinking of having babies!)

[Nathan]

You mean having a baby like Canker had a baby, (at least he wanted to) or the more traditional sense? :D

Reading Khai of Ancient Khem for the first time ATM myself. Also read Ghoul Warnings and Other Omens recently...

[NightMare]

Well i just got finished with Mystery Walk(McCammon) and started on Deadspawn.

[topol_sheap]

Reading
Shadows Over Innsmouth... really good collection...

started it about a year ago, put it down for other stuff... as I do with most, but now trying to go back and finish the unfinished

[DaveStrorm]

Just finished The Cabinet of Curiosities by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child. Same guys that wrote The Relic. Very good read.

Getting ready to start on Clive Cussler's latest although the name escapes me at the moment. Just checked - Fire Ice.

[topol_sheap]

got a HC necroscope this morning... guess what I'm reading now? smile.gif been meaning to re-read the whole thing from start to finish for a couple of years now, and will do it in between other books that I need to read... years before I get through my whole back list, but thats part of the fun I guess....

hoping by the time I'm through with Necroscope that the new FP Wilson book will be with me, and then on to Wamphyri, which also arrive in HC this morning!!! :D :D :D

[Nathan]

Finished "Khai" and am finishing up the second "Khash"...

Great, great books! I'm prolly gonna read "Khai" again here 'soon as Tarra kicks some Yoppaloth tail!!

[Llamedos]

Recently re-read HOD, SOD & MMOD by, go on guess.

Then re-waded through Belgraid 1 -5 and Mallorian 1 -5 for something to do.

Now onto Magician assortment, just for the hell of it.

Well between work and PS2 games.

[topol_sheap]

house of doors or hero of dreams? you nearly had me stumped with the acronyms.... damn you smile.gif

[Llamedos]

Sorry Top's,

Dreamlands grouping

[topol_sheap]

guessed that! thought I would just cause trouble!

[Llamedos]

Nowt new there then. eh.

[SpOOkshow]

To my horror, my time for reading has disappeared into thin air with a disturbing Keogh-like fashion. I've got two or three books due to start, and they are:

'Redemption Ark', by Alastair Reynolds. Sci-fi stuff. Sorta sequel to 'Revelation Space'

'Misspent Youth' by Peter F. Hamilton. I'll only be reading this soon if I win a damned Ebay auction (there's a promotional copy on sale - novel not released until November)

Wish me luck smile.gif

[Dennery]

I just started Michael Moorcock's Elric: Song of the Black Sword. It's been out there for a while, but the series looks promising. My big brother gave it to me, as he did the the first Necroscope many years ago, and he certainly got that one right.

Let the fun begin.

[Nathan]

A friend of mine lent me a copy of A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin. He describes it as horror/fantasy.

Anyone know it?

[Nathan]

Well, it was good!

You fantasy readers out there should check into this guy. It's not so far out there that you can't relate to it, yet it's otherworldly enough to be different. It's bloody, romantic, tragic, and exciting.

I'm now on to the second book: A Clash of Kings. He's only up to three books in the saga so far but there's no telling how many are to come...at least two more according to his website.

George R. R. Martin (http://georgerrmartin.com/)

Check 'em out...

[Exsanguinator]

Just finished reading American Scream - The Bill Hicks Biography. Amazing book, pretty amazing fella... One of my favourite comedy tracks is where he deals in a less than usual fashion with a drunk female heckler during an appearence in Chicago...

Got a book be Sabine Baring-Gould originally written at the end of the 19th Century about werewolves looking at the history, origins and truisms of this 'Mythical' beast (and I know you aren't mythical Canker!)

Great read, usual victorian colour and hyperbole...

And when that's done - the Official Spinal Tap Companion... tongue.gif

[Goth Girl]

Just starting on the 'Dead' trilogy by Richard Calder (Dead Girls, Dead Boys, Dead Things)... so far they're a bit more sci-fi than I usually would bother with, but they have a vampirey undertone, so sticking with it so far!

[Exsanguinator]

Read Dead Boys & Girls a coupla years ago, could never find Dead Things though... let me know if it's worth a hunt when you're done?

[topol_sheap]

Porno by Irvine Welsh.... couldn't resist even though some of the stuff of his that I have read was so disturnbing I nearly threw the book (Filth) away half read...

Porno is a direct follow up to train spotting, which was a mad book, much worse than the film:)

[Lagula Longarm]

It's been far too long since I read the Necroscopes, so I've started again. Last night I read the first 70 pages of Necroscope :D Aaaaaaaahhhhh Dragosani

[topol_sheap]

probably going to get HC the Source at the weekend to start when I have finished reading Porno... would have read more by now, but having just moved it's taken all out of me!

Oh, Deano, Just read Necroscope myself, and what a cool re-read... not sure which time it is this time as it's benn about 5 years or so since I read this one!

[Goth Girl]

P, gave up on the 'Dead' trilogy, really didn't like the style of writing... Steve got further than I did, but was as equally unimpressed, gonna return them to the Fantasy Centre!

[Mike C]

I have recently finished Twelve Mile Limit by Randy Wayne White, Titus Crowe Vol. II by Brian Lumley (the Master), Island by Richard Laymon, Hearse of a Different Color by Tom Cockey ,Lamb by Christopher Moore.
I realize this is a Brian Lumley site, but anyone looking for something funny might want to give Lamb a try.
