Revival by Stephen King: All things follow the current

While Revival is unlike many King books in that is revolves around faith more directly, and is a standalone novel, it is a must-read for fans of the Master of Horror. With luck, this will be a film soon too!

Cuts by Richard Laymon: Albert gets stabby, in more ways than one

This was my second pick for this month’s Richard Laymon read-a-thon. As with many of his novels, I was not sure if I had read this before.

Rumpfest Ends • Final Laymon Thoughts, Reading Stats, & What’s Next

The Richard Laymon readathon, #readingandrumps has come and gone. I had so much fun that I look forward to next year. It also inspired my next video where I decided to recount all of my extreme horror books. More next week. So far this year I have read 33 books; 9 in June alone. That is a lot for me!

I owe this to experimenting with audiobooks and also joining the readathon. Both lent to six of those nine books! While I am not going 'all in' on readathons, I will be reading along with RGsDevilship in All-In August and picking one author to read for the whole month. I say here I have two authors in mind, but there are actually three...

In July, I have a few books to read and two non-fiction books. One of which is from the library - The 90s Teen Horror Cycle by Alexandra West - and ties in with the recent Dead Air episodes on The Faculty and I Know What You Did Last Summer. That last one was based on a 1973 novel of the same name; and that was news to me!
