chonky books

Just started this, but omigosh - already a ride. My last really really good read was Hyperion by Dan Simmons, and before that Borne by Jeff VanderMeer (which is either about a giant floating murder bear, or a deep dive into the strangeness of marriage.

Any other folks with favorite reads to recommend? Anything horror, in particular.

Anything by Brian Lumley, particularly his NECROSCOPE/WAMPHYRI/E-BRANCH series of interconnected books.

@ChipmunkErnie Interesting! Do you mind if I ask what about those books hooked you?

@jademonkey19 I just love Brian's writing, and I believe these are his best works. A fascinating mix of sci-fi, horror, fantasy, and even espionage. Plus his vampires would simply rip the heads off the vampires of the teenage romance book series like Twilight, etc.

@ChipmunkErnie that sounds awesome - definitely going to check them out!

@jademonkey19 Start with NECROSCOPE -- everything else flows from there and it introduces Harry Keogh, the "Necroscope", the only man who can talk to "the Great Majority" -- the dead.
