Bazaar of Bad Dreams - Stephen King

A hugely disappointing short story collection. Many of the stories might have been decent enough if it weren't for the fact that they seemed like prologues that went nowhere. Barely worthy of the name story at all. I was left feeling frustrated as though I was waiting for a punchline that never came. King notes in his foreword that in his profession, phoning it in just isn't acceptable. Sadly, with this collection, I feel he did just that.

Nightwalk2 - D. Nathan Hilliard

Just as much of a rollercoaster ride as the first, this sequel kept me enthralled into the wee hours. And the ending suggests a third book may arrive at some point. I'll be hoping it's soon.

Feast of Souls: Magister Book I - Celia Friedman

It's always a red letter day these days if I find a worthwhile fantasy series and this was a joy from the start. Fantastic characters, a fascinating world, shades of grey. I devoured it in one sitting and have already started on book two.

Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly.
Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
