Ah a pink floyd fan. Initally, with you saying underneath your avatar, i thought you were A James Herbert Fan. (he will be sadly missed) He had a book called Moon. But if i remember the Stand I think it is tom Cullen who says that.
James Herbert was the real 'Shock Jock' of the 70's. The Rats; The Lair; The Spear;The Fog- they're all classics. Mark.

Know where you're coming from as I also loved the first three UK Sphere Paperback volumes, but then the format changed when the UK publication switched to Hodder & Stoughton.

Try The Ghost of Sleath, Moon, Ash etc. He passed away at 69 years last year leaving a wife and 3 lovely daughters. thanks for the scary nights Jim. If you want to read more about him read his (auto) biography forgive me i get me up between them two. Devil in the dark Craig Campbell. It will give you more of an insight into him . He was brought up in the East end of London and his parents refused to answer the door when the baliff came. read, you will enjoy

Contagion ended better than it began. now I'm at loose ends-next book I want isn't in at the library yet. I have a chick lit to read for review (The Major's Daughter), so maybe }'ll hit that one today. Oh, I read a Doctor Who/STNG crossover graphic novel yesterday, too--pretty interesting! It worked better than I'd anticipated.

Just finished Mr. Mercedes-now back to my last few hundred pages of The Stand reread. Need to finish rereading Night Shift too-but that one was giving me serious nightmares! Think I'll read Girl With The Dragon Tattoo while deciding what's next. Got it at the thrift store for 50 cents. Haven't seen the movie yet either.

Let us know what you think of the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo! Seems the SKMB is split about 50/50 on those books- I, for one, LOVED them!

I think I might start Misery, I've put it off for quite a while - I just hope I like it, I have just read a few shorts from everythings eventual, but the last novel I tried was the regulators and I put it back about halfway through. I don't want to dislike 2 in a row.
I think you will like Misery. :) (I've also put The Regulators aside ( :blush: ) for now, I think I had too many distractions.)
I'm still reading Mr. Mercedes and one by Brent Weeks, can't recall the title now, but my kid is getting annoyed with me because he wants me to read it faster so we can discuss the series.
