Yeah, it was pretty amazing. My nieces also go crazy for it, they love creepy stuff. Wild Invitation is a collection of novellas from the Psy-Changing series. I highly recommend the series, I love it and can never put the books down. It's from a time when humans are at the bottom of the food chain, changelings rule the wilds, and the Psy (a race of humanoids with highly developed psychic powers) sit in there steel and glass world void of emotion. But eventually everything crumbles. You just have to read them lol

I bought the new novel by Stephen Hunter, "I, Ripper" -- obviously a tale about ol' Springheel Jack. Hunter wrote the novel "Point of Impact" which was made into the movie "Sniper" -- he writes a lot of action thrillers but the book about Jack the Ripper is a departure.

I attended a book signing where he autographed the book, and he was very cordial and pleasant to those who attended.

If you like scary murder mysteries, you'd like this book.

I know I started with the Paradise series and have been hooked. I've even gotten the two movies that were made: House and Thr3e. Both well done.

I liked the movies too! I first found him with Black way back when it first came out and I am still waiting for The Circle to be made into a set of movies. That would be awesome if done right! 8)
