Rereading The Book of Reuben, by Tabitha King. Enjoying it much more the second time around — I missed a lot on my first read because life was hectic at the time.

I am reading Six Scary Stories from Cemetery Dance on my tab. These stories were selected by Mr. King in a contest held in the UK. I have read three and they are indeed scary. Before each story is the author's view of Mr. King's writings and, of course, he did a great explanatory introduction!
Disappearance at Devil's Rock, by Paul Tremblay. I liked Head Full of Ghosts but didn't love it (gave it 3 stars on my blog). I am loving this one, though.
While I went Todash I read:
Ugly by Mick Garris
Travels With Charley by John Steinbeck
Revenant by Bill Pronzini
Right now reading In Dubious Battle by Steinbeck

Mick Garris writes? I didn't know that. Horror?
Ayuh, horror. He also wrote another called Snow Shadows, A Life In The Cinema, Tyler's Third Act and Development Hell.
Finished all the stories in a half day. Liked them all well enough with the exception of one.
Michael Koryta's latest book "Rise The Dark" was very good but don't read it without reading "Last Words" first.
Thinner, by Richard Bachman/Stephen King.
I'm also doing a 'Halloween bingo' event on my blog with some reader friends. Here is what I've chosen to read for the next two months:

You're going to love Harvest Home, Hell House, The Damnation Game but not sure about It. Just kidding about It!
Yay! IT and 'The Yellow Wallpaper' are the only rereads. Super excited to discover new (to me) tales.
finished Hard Country, Michael McGarrity, a long read, "a novel of the old west" and a good story. First I've read from him. Trying to decide what to read next. I need a new drug. Have Poe by J Lincoln Fenn and Cold Granite, Stuart MacBride on the kindle...could order another Steve Hamilton...looks like we have a Rainy Monday.
Rainy days and Mondays...

Thanks for that tip! I've been wanting to read Koryta and downloaded Rise the Dark to my tab. Will backtrack now on your advice.
I liked Disappearance.
I was just going to ask you if you had read this yet! I picked it up when you gave the heads up about it being $2.99. Haven't gotten to it yet, though. Glad to hear you liked it.
It's the second in a series (I think there's going to be at least one more judging from the way Rise The Dark ended) and there's just too much info in the Last Words that you need for the second one.
AND my library has it sitting on the shelf!!
Reading The Scoop by Christie, Sayers and other english mystery authors. Written in 1932. A fun collaboration between 8 authors. Sayers start the whole thing off with a journalist that just made a big scoop being stabbed in a phonebooth.
Boyoboyoboy...don't think I will ever be a caver!!! I was actually having trouble breathing while reading about Radley's entering a cave! I am not catastrophic but....nonononono!

Maybe earlier in this thread, I told Ben Vincent when Last Words came out that no one had ever made me feel as claustrophobic as Michael Koryta did with this novel. Those cave scenes are something else.
