onto 'the ritual' now! every time i start reading a nevill i seem to end up in the house on my own - if there's one proof of a good horror novel it's me not liking to read it in an empty house!

I'm reading Buttholes In The Sky, by Abe McCormackery.. it's a barnburner, and a hole puncher and a lot of other things too.

Finished Peel Back The Sky - incredible (review up now!) and then stormed through Beyond Here Lies Nothing. One of the best weekend's reading I've had.
Reading Joe's collection now then it'll probably be The Sour Grapes of Wrath, a tale of bitterness set in Tennessee.
