Y'know, I've never read Danse Macabre... hmm... I think I need it.

I've got Once... on my Seasonal Challenge list. Would anyone like to join me reading that one?

I updated msg 1 to show some info about the author and his works.

I own The Rats, have to find the time to read it!

You really must. And while you're at it, you should also check out The Fog. It is a great read!

Yes The Fog is excellent!

I marked them all "to read" I will get to them all before I die. Ha.
