Finished The Damnation Game and agreed it rules.
Hell yeah! There's some genuinely upsetting parts of that book but it's contrasted by how weirdly human the villain is.
Just finished Our Share of th Night and it was phenomenal. Highly recommend!
I have not read any of these so this is a nice list to see and add to the backlog. The only one I know of is Between Two Fires and thats because I am on chapter 5 of it currently
Oh hell yeah enjoy! It's one of those books I wish I could read again for the first time. His Blacktongue Thief series also rules.
You were also right about River Man getting nastier. Checked out the sequel too. Not as good but man the fact that everything is so gross that the serial rapist/killer is the nicest character was wild to me lol
Yeah it gets wild haha the way the worm turns on the main character's likeability is wild. The Thirteenth Koyote is also by Triana is is probably on par with being my favorite from him. They All Dier Screaming is also gross and intense and insanely funny lol
I haven’t read Damnation Game yet but I love Barker so definitely need to get on that. I’ve got Between Two Fires and FantasticLand too but still need to check them out. Started The Only Good Indians recently though digging it so far
Can't go wrong with Fires or Fantasticland! And The Only Good Indians rules. I think it's still my favorite SGJ book but the Buffalo on is close. And definitely check out Damnation Game. It's very good. My favorite Barker is Weaveworld but that's not so much horror.
I own Fantasticland and recently bought The Only Good Indians. Good to know they both have some high praise.
Both are awesome books and have stuck with me even years after reading them!
Hells yeah! They both rule. There's one subplot in Fantasticland in particular that's bone-chilling but the whole book is a blast.
Books rule. Horror rules.
