Stephen King reviewed William Hjortsberg Falling Angel. He said Falling Angel is
"A terrific book... I've never read anything remotely like it. Trying to imagine what might have happened if Raymond Chandler had written The Exorcist is as close as I can come. I'll be glancing over my shoulder for Johnny Favorite for a long time to come."

I have to say my favorite is the slow burn series. its loosely in the horror genre as it is a zombie/apocalyptic book. But Bobby Adair is an amazing author. I love that this series is not so much about the people surviving the apocalypse, but about people that have been bitten and are slowly changing into zombies. Hence the title Slow burn :)

I seem to have made a mistake posting my Halloween review in this thread. I worry that my post may cause others to post here as well. This subject has been moved to the tread, Horror Genre Discussion; so do post your Halloween reviews there.

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

Can you manage that, Graverobber? I don't think I will be able. I think that would be a good idea - it might save some confusion. Thanks for your help.

I like all of the possibilities! I'm going to have to find a new supernatural book, something not to scary though. I'm not a fan of being terrified! :)
