If It Bleeds – Stephen King

Skipped to the third self titled story If It Bleeds to read that first, had to find out what happened to Holly Gibney after her Outsider experience! Yeah, Twas pretty good.

As for the other three novellas, The Rat was pretty good as was Mr Harrigans Phone but I didn’t really enjoy The Life of Chuck so much though overall it’s yet another great read from the worlds greatest writer.

“Will it still float?”

Tick Tock – Dean Koontz

“When Tommy Phan discovers a mysterious rag doll one day, he’s curious but tries to dismiss it. However, it seems ominously foreboding, a feeling borne out when he hears a sound from it that evening. When he picks up the doll, it’s heart actually appears to be beating, the threads of its eyes unravel and a strange green eye blinks at him”

I’ve very recently purchased this book so am not far through as yet so more is to follow…

Shadowfires – Leigh Nichols

Rachel’s violent, possessive husband is dead, hideously managed in a freak accident, has disappeared from the city morgue…

Of the books Koontz wrote as Leigh Nichols Id say this was the best one though they all have similar storylines but this story has more plot content than the others.

I actually prefer his early stuff to his later stuff and I’d strongly advise that, if you want to give Koontz a try you’d not do much better than beginning with this particular book.
