CANDLELIT CHRONICLES: HISTORIC HAUNTS

"new" book recommendations

If you haven't read "Glimmerglass," please do. I usually avoid Faery novels, but this one is so well-written, fast-paced, with good insight into characterization. I couldn't put it down. This is "Faeriewalker" Book One-can't wait for the sequel. Author Jenna Black makes the Fae world seem real, and its crossover point at Avalon, England, fascinating. http://www.amazon.com/Glimmerglass-Faeriewalker-Book-Jenna-Black/dp/0312575939





Just finished David Robbins' "Spectre," an actually literate horror novel which takes pathways through, of all things, Tantric Buddhism and Satanism, adolescents, a single mom with five to raise, a retiring police detective, a grizzly washed-out cemetery caretaker, and much more. Fast-paced, gory, but well worth the read.





Started Martin J. Smith's first novel, "Time Release," which spins out the Tylenol cyanide poisonings with a whole new view and emphasises the repressed memory controversy: are they real? are they implanted? Engaging plotting and characters make this one a winner, too.
