Books - what are you reading? (Official Book Thread)

[2 Up 2 Down]

Just finished the novella, The HellHound Heart by Clive Barker. I'm about the watch Hellrasier again to see what was changed in the adaptation.
The book was very good and I sort of forgot how good Clive was as a writer.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Just finished reading Tender is the Flesh by Augustina Bazterrica

I don't even know what to say.
Cannibalism has always creeped me out so this book had me like at times.

Definitely going to keep an eye out for this author's future work

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Finished up the remaining stories I had left in Night Shift.
Great blend of stories. I think stories like The Last Rung on the Ladder, The Woman in the Room, and even I Know What You Need showed early on that he wasn't a pulpy genre fiction writer like how was got labeled by the "literary" critics

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Finished reading Pet Sematary this morning.
Probably the bleakest book I have read from Stephen King. Definitely prefer the book over the two adaptations.



On Halloween (actually Nov 1) when I got back from seeing Terrifier 3 I read a couple of short stories:

Eleonora by Edgar Allen Poe
The Jaunt by Stephen King


Oh yeah, a couple of days before Halloween I read another two short stories by Clive Barker from the collection The Inhuman Condition:
The Inhuman Condition & Down, Satan!

 

[Trips]

I really never read fiction books. But, seeing some of the discourse here I should try it out more often. Currently I'm almost done with

"The System: The Glory and Scandal of Big-Time College Football"

I had forgot about this book years ago, and then was at the used book store looking for something to read on my upcoming flight and came across it. Flew through it. Would definitely like to see a follow up now in the NIL era.
