I just looked it up because I couldn't remember. I think so-unless he has another novel about a computer hacker. I read it a long time ago, but I recall a very suspenseful ending!

Bag of Bones Holy FiretrUCK, I just read a section that was the scariest.... my adrenaline right now. I'm not going to sleep tonight, I'm going to stay awake and read the Nightmare... but I'm not going to sleep.
My FAVORITE book-I've read it at least three or four times!

I haven’t finished it yet, but it’s been one of my favorite SK books so far. I’m reading it at a pace of 200 + pages a day, I can’t put it down.
Can't wait to "hear" your thoughts when you finish!
LOTF is one of my favourite books of all time.
There is a difference between being made to read something and choosing to do so for pleasure!

I finished The Kill Room. WOW! Deaver can make your emotions lie down and roll over. Talk about being wrong about the characters, I could not have more been.
I am now re-reading Manhattan Hunt Club by John Saul. I do not like his writing except for this one book. It is just my type...homeless folks, crime, and the subway places in New York where those folks find shelter....and intrigue.

Not a fan of Saul's but from what you have described, I'll have to check this one out.
Is anyone familiar with Nick Cutter's work: hot an email from Simon & Shuster pushing his The Deep which follows his The Troop?
Didn't Uncle Stevie sing Nick Cutter's praises?
I'm going to read The Troop based on that recommendation. If it sucks, I'll be coming for you, Uncle Stevie. I'll be coming for you!
Careful- Marsha's got her wood chipper at the ready......
To quote Steve from his front cover blurb: 'The Troop scared the h*ll out of me, and I couldn't put it down. This is old-school horror at its best. Not for the faint-hearted, but for the rest of us sick puppies,it's a perfect gift for a winter night.'

I'm already dead. Ain't no fear in me!
The Troop was okay (but it could have been really good). Good scenario, decent set up... then it just sort of peters out. It was not good, not bad, just sort of...there.
Doesn't suck, but it's pedestrian. Not sure if that's wood chipper-worthy...
Thanks for the thoughts on Cutter, will think on it before committing a precious gift card.
Cutter is a Canadian writer. I read The Troop and loved it.
I love the non-de-plume he picked to use for these books- 'Nick Cutter' as in one who uses a knife and knicks and cuts things.....
