13 Novels or Collections, 17 Short Stories As of Jan. 31 PM, I am 30% into TIP OF THE ICEBERG by Ash Hartwell {reading for review} and I have read 542 pages of the 936-page tome THE TERROR by Dan Simmons, about the tragic and lost Franklin Arctic expedition in the 1840's. Not only am I reading this on Kindle, at night I an transported by the wonderful audio version by a British narrator, and have about 15-16 hours remaining (listened to 11). None of these will I complete before January's goodbye.
February will be "Weird Fiction Month," and I intend to read widely among Robert E. Howard, Robert W. Chambers, Clark Ashton Smith, Fritz Leiber, and of course, my icon, H.P. Lovecraft. I also have newly acquired the sequel to Andrew Mayne' s THE NATURALIST, LOOKING GLASS; and a new novel of Nazi-engineered werewolves, WEHR WOLFF CASTLE; also Hunter Shea' s cryptozoological marine horror, FURY OF THE ORCAS, and Kristopher Rufty's collection, BONE CHIMES, and novel, SEVEN BURIED HILL.
As always, I'm beyond impressed with your reading accomplishments. I hope you enjoyed the readathon. I'm sure it goes without saying that I'll see you in April for Spring into Horror. I hope so!
