There have been some music threads here and there at HA. I think they're in the Off Topic folder. So if you want to start one, feel free to.

Char | 17381 comments HA! That's the problem with these lists, Kimberly. Sometimes my opinion changes from day to day! :)


message 59: by Kimberly (new)

Kimberly | 13 comments Can anyone recommend some good sci fi or fantasy horror? I mean horrific, not something just because it has demons or weird aliens. Much appreciated.

Dean Koontz' Phantoms was a good sci-fi novel. My fiance also enjoyed The Taken but i haven't tried it just yet.

Char | 17381 comments Have you read Neverwhere? It is a dark fantasy tale with horrific elements.


message 62: by Kimberly (new)

Kimberly | 13 comments Thanks. I'm going to check Phantoms out. I gave Neverwhere 5.


message 63: by Char (new)

Char | 17381 comments Then you already know it was good. :) I liked it too.

Mark Matthews (xmarkm) | 265 comments In the spirit of Easter and the holy trinity, I'm adding just three random recomendations

1. The Reapers Are the Angels, by Alden Bell.
Smart, literary zombie fiction. What
The Passage could have been with an editor, and what The Twelve certainly was not.

2. The Terror, Dan Simmons
Poetic, lyrical, and to be read in the cold of winter with the wind howling. I love love love this book.

3. Watseka, david st. clair. I read this when I was twelve years old or something, and the cover burned an image in my head as did the words. I have no idea if it's any good as an adult.

Tressa  (moanalisa) | 19903 comments Mark, I really enjoyed your #1 pick. And I have GOT to pick up The Terror again and get into it some more. I set it aside for some group reads and was really starting to enjoy it.

I've seen what I think is a sequel to The Reapers Are The Angels, or it may even be a prequel, called 'Exit Kingdom" but it's only available in the UK, and has a YA looking cover.


message 68: by Char (new)

Char | 17381 comments Hmm, I've never heard of The Reapers Are the Angels. I'm off to check that out.


message 69: by Tressa (new)

Tressa  (moanalisa) | 19903 comments It's something I think you'd like, Charlene.


message 70: by Char (new)

Char | 17381 comments I took a look and added it to my WL for now. :)
Hell it only cost about the same as a pack of cigs, right?


message 71: by Tressa (new)

Tressa  (moanalisa) | 19903 comments Yes, good way of looking at it!

$2.50 is a bargain.
