Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
My current reading list, for any of you who may be interested is as follows:
Howard, Jonathan L., Johannes Cabal the Necromancer
A sort of steam punk-ish comedy
Goodwin, Cliff. Evil Spirits
A biography of Oliver Reed.
Brandreth, Giles. Oscar Wilde and the Dead Man's Smile/ Oscar Wilde and the Ring of Death.
Oscar Wilde as detective. Very inventive, quite amusing and surprisingly well written.
Adams, Guy. Sherlock Holmes and the Breath of God.
Not as good as it could have been.
Pryce, Malcolm. From Aberystwyth With Love
Strange, wry, classic noir fiction set in Aberystwyth.
Crispin, Edmund. Holy Disorders
Murder mystery from 1946, very funny and very complex.
McKenna, Neil. The Secret Life of Oscar Wilde
Shocking and tawdry but somehow not surprising.
Holdstock, Robert. Ancient Echoes
Myth making at its best. Erudite and gripping.
Lee, Vernon. Supernatural Tales
Can still raise a shudder a century after they were first published.
Onions, Oliver. The Dead of Night
More Edwardian Horror
Newman,Kim The Hound of the D'urbervilles
A parody of Conan Doyle with a darker twist.
Aaronovitch, Ben. Rivers of London
What would happen if Harry Potter grew up and joined the fuzz!
Holdstock, Robert. The Broken Kings
Stunningly well written fantasy.
