"Donkey Punch" - Ray Banks
"Pop. 1280" - Jim Thompson
"Savage Night"-Alan Guthrie
"Shame the Devil"-George Pelecanos
"Savage Season"-Joe R Lansdale
White Butterfly"-Walter Mosley
"Pretty Little dead Things"-Gary McMahon

Bit of a strange, non-giving-of-presents type of Christmas this year. (We gave each other flu - plus, I've learned today, a secondary chest infection - if that counts?)

Had a look at the top books of 2010 lists dotted around various forums so will probably treat myself to Joe Hill's Horns and the new King collection.

Mind you, I got Under the Dome last christmas and haven't got round to reading that yet...

the new collection is 'okay' IMO - better than 'everythings eventual' but not as good as 'nightmares & dreamscapes', 'night shift' etc. and as novellas they're probably not quite as good as 'four after midnight'.

really enjoying 'pretty little dead things' by the way!
