Great vampire series
Definitely Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 6) Charlaine Harris really knows how to write a book, if you like your vampire series with a bit of humor you will like these books, if you like your mysteries with a bit of what we call "Woo Woo" (in other words ...

Club Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 3)

Charlaine Harris

Ace Books, 2003

Gripping Story - I can't get enough of this series
I liked this almost as much as my favorite so far in this series, (book 4 - Dead to the World). Sookie's boyfriend, Vampire Bill goes out of town on business and turns up missing. Sookie agrees to help find him and works with Eric (Bill's Vampire Boss) and ...

All Together Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 7)

Charlaine Harris

Ace, 2008

What an action packed climatic ending
This book was jammed packed full of action and we learn some new things about the vampires (like about Pam's past, Eric's present feelings etc. A good portion of the book takes place at the Vampire Summit and we are introduced to a whole new group of vampires, ...

Just After Sunset: Stories

Stephen King-who has written more than fifty books, dozens of number one New York Times bestsellers, and many unforgettable movies-delivers an astonishing collection of short stories, his first since Everything's Eventual six years ago.

Living Dead in Dallas (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 2)

Charlaine Harris

Ace Books, 2002

Read with caution - This series is addictive
I read the first in this series, "Dead Until Dark" and loved it. This installment "hooked me". Sookie finds herself seriously attacked by a "creature" and is saved from a certain death by the vampires by a quite unusual approach. Sookie and Bill find themselves ...

Dead to the World (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 4)

Charlaine Harris

Ace, 2005

My favorite in this series so far
I absolutely loved this book and it's my favorite so far in this series. Sookie is an incredible character. She's sweet, smart, sassy and doesn't take any crap from anyone. She's also a telepath, which makes her even more interesting. She finds Eric, a gorgeous ...

The Graveyard Book

Neil Gaiman

HarperCollins, 2008

It takes a graveyard
Imagine Rudyard Kipling's "Jungle Book"... but replace the animals with ghosts, ghouls, werewolves and other such supernatural creatures. Such is the concept of "The Graveyard Book," which cleverly turns Kipling's classic story into an exquisitely-written, darkly ...

From Dead to Worse (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 8)

Charlaine Harris

Ace Hardcover, 2008

Can't Get Enough of This Series
I can't get enough of this series. It's one of the best I have read so far. I don't want to give away too much, but I will summarize. Bottom line, you won't be disappointed. The vampires are dealing with the aftermatch of the Vampire Summit and reorganizing ...

Dead as a Doornail (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 5)

Charlaine Harris

Ace, 2006

Another Fabulous Installment
I am surprised that this series just gets better and better as you read it. This book makes a shift to focus more on werewolfes and shapeshifters and of course, most of them accept her. We also see a little more from the fairies. The book picks up on the storyline ...

Dead Until Dark (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 1)

Charlaine Harris

Ace Books, 2001

Dead Until Dark is Very Much Alive
HBO is showing a new series this year titled "True Blood." The TV show is based on Charlaine Harris's book Dead Until Dark. Based on is perhaps not true. The series follows the book almost exactly. I suspect that the first season is the first book in Ms. Harris's ...

The Living Dead

Stephen King, Joe Hill, ...

Night Shade Books, 2008

Zombie-tastic!
Yes, some of the stories that are in the book have been published before in other compilations, the editor even states this in the beginning, however, 'The Living Dead' is an absolute must-have for anyone who is a fan of zombies. You can not go wrong here. I would ...

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal

Christopher Moore

Harper Paperbacks, 2003

Not for those who believe the Bible is absolute truth....
I have read this book about three times and it never fails to entertain me. Now, if you are thinking I am not a Christian- you are wrong. I am- but I choose to see this book as an "interpretation" of the greatest, and saddest story every told. I choose to keep in ...

Betrayed (House of Night, Book 2)

PC Cast, Kristin Cast

St. Martin's Griffin, 2007

Exciting
This book was delicious... I really like the second part to Marked. I wasnt as crazy about the ending but I'm hoping in book 3 that it will make sense.

Duma Key: A Novel

Stephen King

Scribner, 2008

King outdoes himself
Early Stephen King books were genre-defining, relatively simple gorefests that bridged the gap between horror junkies and the general reading public. Somewhere in there, King started flexing his literary aspirations, and the last twenty years have been inconsistent. ...

Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse

Stephen King, Cory Doctorow, ...

Night Shade Books, 2008

A fine collection of Apocalypse stories by great authors
With anthologies, I normally list the Table Of Contents, however because it can be viewed by rolling your mouse over the second available image below the book picture, I won't list it. There are 22 stories in this collection, by such authors as Stephen King, George ...
