Haunted by his past, Travis Stillwell spends his nights searching out women in West Texas honky-tonks. What he does with them doesn’t make him proud, just quiets the demons for a little while. But after Travis crosses paths one night with a mysterious pale-skinned girl, he wakes weak and bloodied in his cabover camper the next morning—with no sign of a girl, no memory of the night before.
Annabelle Gaskin spies the camper parked behind her motel and offers the cowboy a few odd jobs to pay his board. Travis takes her up on the offer, if only to buy time, to lay low and heal. By day, he mends the old motel, insinuating himself into the lives of Annabelle and her ten-year-old son. By night, in the cave of his camper, he fights an unspeakable hunger. Before long, Annabelle and her boy come to realize that this strange cowboy is not what he seems.
Haunted by James Herbert was a perfect read for me. Practiced pacing, ghoulish thoughts, and a remarkable landscape peopled by fascinating characters. It is a Typical Book.

Also, I will be swapping out Shadows and Tall Trees 8 for Red by Jack Ketchum in my reading list. I'll read the anthology later as I am really enjoying it but for a book that had Red on the cover? I can't not!

Today we talk a little about Dead Air by Matthew M. Bartlett.
pick up a copy here: https://amzn.to/2GD458v
"Five years prior to the publication of Gateways to Abomination, Matthew M. Bartlett put out a book called Dead Air. That book is now extremely scarce. This volume contains most of the unpublished work from that book, a few dark poems, and stories and fragments that later appeared in Gateways to Abomination and Creeping Waves. It also features magnificently creepy artwork by Yves Tourigny, as well as Tom Breen's original introduction. Witness the early days of dread magus Benjamin Stockton, and of his demonic radio station WXXT, with all its guts, worms, wriggling things, and voices from the dark."
Thanks!

Pick up a copy here: https://amzn.to/48OdWoa - I may stick to pronouncing it Say-Guhr! I've heard a few interviews since and this is how it is said almost always when people speak with him.
If this isn't a nouveau gothic, I don't want to know what is. Truly. I had a lot of fun with this and if you are not having fun with fiction then...
The title of this book and the cover combined caught my eye. I'm not a huge fan of this orangish red and blue color combination but I do like a book with a house on the cover. The Only One Left as a title evokes a sort of gothic feel, some sort of familicide perhaps had gone on and that turned out to be true. The front cover with its colors evoked the title of a short story from ages ago ‘Orange is for Anguish Blue for Insanity’ and I figured this would have to do with some sort of perhaps unreliable narrator which wasn't exactly the case. But be that as it may, the cover and the title of this book along with some of the pedigree of the author did its work to entice me to read it. I'd never read any Riley Sager and I figured this would be a good spot to start. Will I read more Riley Sager? Maybe. I have already been tempted!
