F.Paul Wilson covers quite a bit of ground. He writes horror, medical mystery, sci-fi, action. It's fairly difficult to place Mr. Wilson in a single genre.

His Repairman Jack books happen to cover all genres and are quite good.

A great place to start with Mr. Wilson would be:

"The Keep".

The Keep (Adversary Cycle, #1) by F. Paul Wilson

Eric Greenfield added The Keep tbr list. on Kindle reviews some say it was the best horror book ever. That is quite a statement.

Loved The Keep! One of the best vampire novels of all time. I've also read:

The Tomb (Adversary Cycle, #2) (Repairman Jack, #1) by F. Paul Wilson Bloodline (Repairman Jack, #11) by F. Paul Wilson Implant by F. Paul Wilson The Select Sibs by F. Paul Wilson

Kyle,
I gave The Select to my wife, she never read F. Paul Wilson before that book. She devoured it in a single day, and absolutely loved it. She ended up getting us tickets to a book fair where F.Paul Wilson was speaking and signing books, it was great fun and Mr. Wilson is a very nice guy, he's very accessible and likes to keep in touch with his fans.

That's awesome, Kevin. So glad you and your wife had that experience. I'd love to see F. Paul Wilson in person.

I picked up a few used Wilson paperbacks this weekend ( Reprisal (Adversary Cycle, #5) by F. Paul Wilson Reprisal and The Touch (Adversary Cycle, #3) by F. Paul Wilson The Touch)


Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) I'm excited to start the Repairman Jack series, but keep procrastinating for some reason. Hope to read the first book this year.

Those books are part of The Adversary Cycle. There are six interconnected books in the cycle. This was perhaps my favorite lot by Wilson.

1. The Keep
2. The Tomb
3. The Touch
4. Reborn
5. Reprisal
6. Nightworld

I've just finished The Keep, and I was very impressed with it! Will certainly be looking to read more by this author.
