@Sophia How is The Haunted?

@Karen I have that on my next buy list. LOVE King!

@Sasa I think I have read one book by John Saul a long time again - long. I have to look into him again.

Hope your all having a great day! =)

Saša Varjohukka (varjohukka) @Mary: I recommend you http://www.goodreads.com/series/40437... I really loved that series :)
And btw, I love King too :)

Bill Tucker (damndirtyapes) | 5 comments I just stalled out 410 pages into Dante's The Divine Comedy...which reads much like horror. Also recently finished Kafka's The Metamorphosis, which is chilling in its own way.

That one intrigues me, Karen.

Cassie McCown (cassie629) | 1 comments I just finished proofing Cemetery Club by J.G. Faherty and I'm almost finished with Ghosts of Rosewood Asylum by Stephen Prosapio.

Cemetery Club was great...but kinda gross sometimes :-). Ghosts is kinda freaking me out. Of course, I'm reading it right before I go to sleep. Last night, I was right in the middle of an intense scene and my Kindle battery died. Eeep!

:-)

Karen (kazzakrisanna) Sasa -I read Suffer the Children by John Saul and most of John Saul back in the '70's and really enjoyed them. I went off Stephen King for a bit after Cell by Stephen King which I really didn't enjoy, the ending let it down big time. I'm thrilled though that with 11/22/63 by Stephen King he's definately back on form!


message 15: by Saša (new)

Saša Varjohukka (varjohukka) @Karen: I didn't enjoy Cell that much either.. I guess he wasn't in his best form while writing it. I'm looking forward to reading 11/22/63 a lot! Can't wait! :)


message 16: by Kat (new)

Kat (kat2011) | 16 comments I actually liked CELL, but I wasn't thrilled with the ending or some aspects to the "zombies"


message 17: by Karen (new)

Karen (kazzakrisanna) I'm going to dive into Under the Dome by Stephen King when I've fininshed 11/22/63 as I've heard good things about it. Anyone read it? I'd value any opinions

@Karen I haven't read it. Let me know how it is.

I am reading Bloodstone (Leisure Fiction) by Nate Kenyon and loving it.

I have Under the Dome by Stephen King on my shelves...I hope to get to it soon.

Kat (kat2011) | 16 comments I will be starting Grave's End: A True Ghost Story later today

I've read Under the Dome and really enjoyed it. Very fast-paced and full of action and suspense. The characters are OK, but a bit flat. It's more action than character development this time. You don't see that very much in King's stories. ;)


message 22: by Karen (new)

Karen (kazzakrisanna) Thanks Marco, I'm looking forward to reading it now

I think I may pick this up just saw it at the crackhouse now. I think i may have to quickly run downstairs before someone snags it.

I just finished Bloodstone (Leisure Fiction) by Nate Kenyon now I think I will be going for Bag of Bones by Stephen King next. Or maybe Koontz. I am undecided and have several book tours going on. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!


message 25: by Marco (new)

Marco (marcofr) I just finished The Darkest Room by Johan Theorin . Great story!
Next up: The Man on the Balcony (Martin Beck #3) by Maj Sjöwall

Oooo Marco, The Darkest Rooms sounds really good! I think I am going to get that one!

It's Johan Theorin's second book about mysterious events on the Swedish island Oland. The first book is
Echoes from the Dead by Johan Theorin , but you can read The Darkest Room without reading EFTD! Both books are great! Have fun!


message 28: by Saša (new)

Saša Varjohukka (varjohukka) I've got EFTD for Christmas and I can't wait to read it :)

Raine | 2 comments I'm currently reading The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón and so far so good. :D


message 30: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca | 6 comments Hey! Nice to meet you all... I am also a King fan. I have read many of his books and short stories. If you want something to take up your time, I recommend reading The Dark Tower series. It is incredible, and spans many years of King's writing career. I am currently reading a book titled The Supernaturals a Ghost Story by David L. Coleman The Supernaturals So far it is good, but I just started it, so we'll see. ;-) I recently read a book Titled The dark Dividing by Sarah Rayne. A Dark Dividing This book was awesome and very creepy...

Rebecca | 6 comments How do you get the book covers to show in your posts?

When you're commenting click on book/author (at the top of the box)then select book cover, then type in the title of the book, a list of books will appear, click on the one you want. it won't show as a book cover until you post your comment

Ooooh, The Supernaturals by David L. Golemon looks really good Rebecca, I must add it to my TBR, thanks

Brett Talley | 10 comments I am currently reading High Moor by Graeme Reynolds . It is about werewolves. Normally I am not a big werewolf fan, but it has gotten such good reviews I wanted to check it out.
