The Search for Joseph Tully by William H. Hallahan

I think I read where Anthony Izzo had a three book deal with them, and three have been published. The only horror they have scheduled is the 'chick horror'/paranormal romance that sara mentioned.

If they haven't dropped it, it's been on hold since the third in Jonathan Maberry's trilogy was published last year. Stine (even as a kid, I didn't like how formulaic his books were)

Nightwing by Martin Cruz Smith (Such a disappointment.

Be Mine Forever by Rosemary Laurey (This is what I get for being a vampire fan-a really bad paranormal romance.).

Dark Lullaby by Jessica Palmer (Ghosts again, but not very scary.

Shadow People by Helen DesErmia (I try to be open-minded, but Christian horror? Just not possible.).

Smith (I'm still a sucker for his crab series, though.)

Sleepwalk by John Saul (I still like several of his other novels.).

A Red Heart of Memories by Nina Kiriki Hoffman (It's more fantasy than horror, but it involves ghosts, witches, and the like.

I don't know I may still give her another try. I've read/liked several of her short stories (usually ones she's written with her husband), but novels just don't seem to work for her. One I really didn't like, though, was Midnight.Īnother flop for me was Wilding by Melanie Tem, which I read this year. I agree, some of Dean Koontz's books suck, but I still consider myself a fan. It really rankles that people put Jack Ketchum in the same category as Richard Laymon. I could handle the stupidity of books if they were written well, but with the terrible characterisation and juvenile plotting it just makes me crazy. Yeah I'm sure you'de feel horny right then> There is a scene when a couple (consisting of a girl and a guy who had tried to sacrifice her to the savages) get it on on the poch of a house surrounded by severed heads and lots of the savages watching the. Oh yeah and about his ridiculous sex scenes. Yet they are quite happy to attck a group of people when these people have a gun for protection. There are 100's of savages and this one man has a machete, that's it. There is one man that the savages of the story are terrified of. There are plot holes you can drive a bus through. I had to re-read to make sure I hadn't read it wrong.

One is scared and doesn't want to do something and the other is arguing with her then they just swap viewpoints. At the beginning of the story we have two girls swapping personalities. The personality he gives his characters is completely pointless. The Woods Are Dark starts off with aone of the most ridiculous first paragraphs I have ever read.
