Sorrow Like Sour Candy by Chandler Morrison
Sierra wrote: "Sorrow Like Sour Candy by Chandler Morrison"I already bought a copy of this new work by Chandler Morrison. This nomination has got my vote locked down! BTW I am impressed with the early nominations! A Camphouse novel is never a wrong choice (I really liked Support Buddy ). Angel Gelique??? Wow. Her reputation definitely precedes her. A vote would never be wasted there! I noticed the suggestion for another themed anthology, this time woodland terror. IMO this is a great way to get acquainted with and exposed to new Indie authors.

Angel is amazing. And an even more amazing human.
I am aware of the strong connection which readers, writers, fans, and reviewers report following a brush with Angel's interest and intensity. I am committed to reading her signature work Man Cave which has been relegated to my TBR folder simply too many times at this point. Thank you for the prompt Jeffrey!

I often don't do that, but I know some people do.
Jeffrey, No, I do not typically read book reviews before reading the book. In this case I know about the book. Angel is a member of HGW Horror Book Club and Ian filled me in about Angel's warmth toward her fans, the exceptional talent, and her unique contribution to the EH/Splatterpunk subgenre. In some circles Man Cave is a classic. I have owned a copy for ages and I opened it to the first page last night. I'll be reading it along with another book (probably AB's Dark Assembly ). And I would love to read your review of Man Cave ! I will check it out before beginning the book!
