Rulin' and A-Ruin'

The SF Signal Mind-Meld I was invited to take part in is finally up, here (http://www.sfsignal.com/archives/2010/11/mind-meld-which-horror-novel-would-make-a-great-film/). And I just got an email from Adam LG Nevill as a result, so damn, go me! How I love this era.;)

Not a great day otherwise, unfortunately; I woke with a massive crick in my neck, and have been sleeping on and off ever since. Still, lunch with Cal calls. Here's hoping the afternoon will be better--more productive, anyhow.

Heh. Maybe you should have given that as an answer to SF Signal?

Speaking of The Stand, I eavesdropped on your comment below about Swan Song - I haven't read that either (never even heard of the author... terrible, I know) but I read the plot summary on wikipedia and the Job's Mask thing sounds really creepy.

There's definitely stuff to like about Swan Song, like most McCammon--he's the best of the faux-Kings, with a crazy sort of energy and invention (especially in his earliest books, the ones he now refuses to allow to be reprinted). My favourites of his are They Thirst, Stinger, Baal and Bethany's Sin, though I recently read The Wolf's Hour for the first time, about a Nazi-fighting werewolf, and that was NUTS.

Interesante. McCammon may be in our city library.
