Interesting....that second book doesn't even have any Amazon reviews! Anonymous2000 Send a noteboard - 07/01/2013 12:16:06 AM
The other book is completely different. It's The Haunted Book by Jeremy Dyson, published by my favourite independent house, Canongate. It starts off as a collection of hauntings around the UK and turns into something else entirely. I was kind of gobsmacked when I finished it, and grinned for a bit. Don't recall ever having had that reaction before.


I guess it is a pretty small indy house. I haven't read any "horror" stories since my Stephen King days (back in grad school), but I'm interested in giving one a shot after so long!

I'll try to hunt this one down (or just order it). Thanks!

Yes. The one I own is The Zimmermann Telegram, which is also great. Legolas - 07/01/2013 05:48:48 PM 732 Views

Well, depends on how broadly you want to define genres, I suppose... Larry - 07/01/2013 01:09:34 AM 1084 Views
Lord of Light- has some similarities to WOT in terms of themes IndigoAjahV2 - 07/01/2013 01:27:01 AM 814 Views
It's a great book, though Chronicles of Amber would seem closer to WoT Isaac - 15/01/2013 01:01:25 AM 778 Views

For me it's a draw between Patrick Rothfuss: "The wise Man's Fear" and Vidarfe - 07/01/2013 01:17:14 PM 874 Views
