3: The Iron Druid series by #KevinHearne
…how about yours?
Hey there, @mindbat thanks for asking!
1. A Children's Bible by Lydia Millet
2. Red Clocks by Leni Zumas (a re-read)
3. The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix Harrow
Is this your first go round with a Stephen King, or are you familiar with many of his works? My favorite of his is one of his shorts called Elevation.
@mindbat absolutely yes! Alix Harrow can do no wrong in my book. (The Once and Future Witches is also just chef's kiss perfection.)
That's what I forgot to mention, Elevation isn't horror. Unpopular opinion maybe: but his non-horror works are... better. There I said it!
@MotherDucker *slots Once and Future Witches and Elevation into TBR pile*
Thanks for the recommendations!
And no worries re: King’s non-horror 😅 Certainly seems to me his later work drifted away from horror and more into detailed portraits of small towns (and the people that live in them) and is the better for it. Both Under the Dome and 11/22/63 were fantastically well done!
@MotherDucker Ooh, Alix Harrow’s on my TBR…sounds like I should move it up in the list?
It’s my first go-round with King’s horror. I loved his Gunslinger series back in college :)
Last year I decided to work my way through all his books I missed out on earlier, starting with Carrie and going forwards from there. It’s been…interesting, seeing how his writing style evolves over time.
