I finally got around to reading
A Memory of Light, the 14th and final volume of The Wheel of Time. It took me about 21 years to get to this point.
I finished a few of those "I should read that someday" books over the summer:
Jane Eyre,
Brideshead Revisited, and
Being There by Jerzy Kosinski. I liked them all, maybe Brideshead a little more than the others.
For October I'm listening to
The Uninvited by Dorothy Macardle. A ghost story that was made into a 1944 movie with Ray Milland.
Valancourt books just released
Blackwater: The Complete Saga by Michael McDowell. It's an omnibus version of McDowell's southern gothic/horror series,
The Flood, The Levee,
The House,
The War,
The Fortune, and
Rain. It's as if
The Shadow over Innsmouth were written as a generational family saga and set in rural Alabama. The horror takes a backseat to the Caskey family story. The individual books were less than 200 pages each so it's not as long as you might think. I'll be re-reading that next.
Also up is
Malpertuis a surrealistic horror/fantasy by Jean Ray, the Flemish Edgar Allen Poe.
