What Are You Currently Reading - 2023


feel like i'm starting out the new year strong with this one. the first couple stories weren't very impressive, but there have been some very good ones since.

Once this is done I'll probably get started on my Stephen King backlog.

Oh Kimberly, I'm doing the audiobook at the moment, switching between audio and ebook and wow.. it's just magnificent.

It was definitely an interesting read! If you're into weird, disturbing fiction with a dash of internet culture mixed in I highly recommend it.

Despite the slow start just love the way the vampire Barlow is able to skilfully turn two of his victims, not by having to resort to violence, but by exploiting their desires.

Atm, I'm halfway through a non-horror novel called The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, but I just finished King's The Outsider. I liked it for the most part. I have a lot of catching up to do this year on Steven's more recent works :)


Def on my TBR for this year!"
I was fortunate enough to grab that book at a little library!

I'm reading it now, so far, I like it.

Fairy Tale is by far my fave King novel in a long time. It's a bit long-winded in parts, but overall was great storytelling reminiscent of The Dark Tower books.

That's a nice trio to kick off the year!"
All 3 were awesome. Gone to See the River Man actually made me gag; but it was good. For those that love spatter punk/gore; this is pretty mild. TW! (view spoiler) ["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

I love this book. The scene with them getting the box in the basement is probably the only scene that creeps me out, for real. Besides little Danny Glick.

It was excellent, if you enjoy background and details. The first third of the book is getting to know everyone before the adventure begins. So, if you need endless excitement; then this may not be it for you.
I loved it and gave it 5 stars because we could have just stayed with the first part of the story and I would have been happy.


Mount Fitz Roy
A nice BIG doorstopper of a book, it's a sequel to Earthcore which was also HUGE but interesting.

Just got to the part where the question has been asked if any humans have been buried in the pet cemetery as well when a dead cat returns to life after being buried there. I’m guessing that this is an important clue to some future horrors.

Jeff Strand wrote a short story based on Pet Sematary and the dead cat. Just might be the best short story I've ever read. I think it's in Strand's book Dead Clown Bbq.
BTW... I think The Shining is King's scariest but I guess King is entitled to his opinion. ;) lol
