Love the movies but doesn't anybody read anything.

i love a good book...i read john saul, stephen king, james patterson only a few of the many. i hate to watch the movie after reading the book. story line is usually butchered by the time it makes it to film.

I absolutely love to read. I'm in the process of reading two books right now, actually. The first one is The Stand by Stephen King. I've seen the old mini-series, a very long time ago, and everyone I know has always told me I needed to read the book. I found the uncut version of it at Wal-Mart a couple weeks ago for like 6 bucks. So I picked it up. 

Along with that I am also reading this really neat book I picked up at a book store in our local mall. I love zombie movies and video games and such, so when I saw this book, I had to have it. It's a compilation book that has many different authors. Clive Barker, Stephen King, Joe Hill, George R. R. Martin, Poppy Z. Brite, just to name a few. And they're all about... dun dun DUUUUN... you guessed it, Zombies. At the moment I am reading the story done by Clive Barker. I believe it's called Sex, Death, and Starshine. I've always been a fan of Clive Barker, and of course the story is good so far. Albeit, no zombies yet, ha ha. 

I have actually only known about a couple Clive Barker books, but I am very entertained by his work and would like to learn about more. So if anyone has any good suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

I cant believe I havent read about anyone here reading BRIAN LUMLEY'S NECROSCOPE SERIES. The series is about a kid who can speak to the dead and the long since dead, as in ancient Greeks. NOT ghosts, but the actual dead in their "slumber" and because of this, makes the mistake of discovering vampires and EVEN WORSE, the beings that MAKE vampires called WAPHYRI. The book has vamps, werewolves, zombies, spies, tactical military forces, other dimensions. This guy creates a whole new lore and the series ACTUALLY ENDS, albeit about 15 novels later, WITH AN ENDING YOU GUYS WOULD LOVE. His work is incredible and addictive IF YOU HAVENT READ THEM YOU MUST TRY IT. BUT START AT THE FIRST BOOK! A MUST ! I guarantee you will love it. He has a web site but if you get too much info, even what I have given you, it takes away from GREAT surprises and great reading. The first 2 books are good, by the third youre addicted and after that you just start buying the books in bunches. NOT KIDDY STUFF.

I usually pick them up at Barnes and Noble. Sometimes you have to order them from B&N cause they might not have the particular book but they carry his stuff regularly. Trust me. If you like Vamp horror, This thing is like a runaway train. It just gets better as it picks up speed and builds an incredible story.

The last three are not exactly part of the VAMPIRE series but dwell on the main character who speaks to the dead and is the hero of all the books. You should really like these. Hope they dont screw up the flick. There is some HEAVY out of this world and serious GOTHIC horror in the books. Happy reading, "Happyy" Nightmares.
