I've read a dozen or so Masterton and loved them all. Spirit, Sleepless, Flesh and Blood etc.I've not been reading Masterton for long, but I'm already a very big fan. The House That Jack Built is a great book.
I like James Herbert too, but he can be a bit hit and miss.

Herbert for me, started his slide downwards after Ghosts of Sleath. But he's written some good books!
I got interested in his work after reading Tabitha King's 'Candles Burning' which she finished for him. Might just have a crack at Blackwater!Just finished the 4th installment in Michael McDowell's 6-part southern gothic Blackwater serial novel. I am so happy that this was finally reissued as an e-book. What a great story and writer! I can't believe he was totally off my radar when he was alive and writing in the 70s and 80s. It's so nice to discover a "new" writer.
Sounds interesting! I read Steven Adler's My Appetite For Destruction: Sex & Drugs & Guns 'N Roses a few years ago. It's amazing some of these guys are still alive!Tattoos & Tequila, Vince Neil's autobiography.
The movie is a great film. The screenwriters (Larry McMurty and some woman) had to flesh it out alot by adding a story line involving the wives. There's a reason it won alot of awards.Just a follow-up to my earlier post regarding "Brokeback Mountain". I reread it this evening, and it is even more moving than I remembered. It may be the saddest story I've ever read; not the kind of sad that makes you want to cry, but leaves you feeling blue through and through. I never saw the movie, but if it captured even half the emotion laid bare in the pages of that story, it must have been mean to view. In my opinion, it is much superior to the other stories in "Close Range", even though most of them are quite good, especially "The Half-Skinned Steer". Fine reading if you have the inclination for some stories set in the wild west of Wyoming.
I've always wanted to watch this movie. Hope it's still available to stream on Netflix!The movie is a great film. The screenwriters (Larry McMurty and some woman) had to flesh it out alot by adding a story line involving the wives. There's a reason it won alot of awards.

Like Scootie says- it's a very sad film, not the kind that makes you cry really but just makes you blue- probably because you just know things would be different and that you hope they'd be different.I've always wanted to watch this movie. Hope it's still available to stream on Netflix!
