Just finished “Just over the Horizon”. The first of three short story collections by Greg Bear. Really enjoyed them, especially the unmade episode of the outer limits that he pitched.
Have picked The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub next, as King has been promoting a 3rd book he wrote in the series after Peter’s passing and it peaked my interest.
King is my comfort author. I find him so easy to read, so interested to see how this collaboration works.

Just started the first book of Greg Bear’s short stories. Have loved Greg’s books since I read Eon as a teenager.
Humble Bundle currently have a stack of Greg’s books on sale

No, must have missed that one. That’s what I like about his writing style. The end of every chapter makes you want to read the next
If the memoir is Future Boy, then it is very good. Crazy what that kid managed to do in that year of filming
I’ve devoured all of Blake Crouch’s sci-fi books and enjoyed them all thoroughly. I have had his Pines trilogy in my To Read list for too long though.
After not enjoying DCC book 1 very much, I finally got bullied into carrying on and am half way through book 2 and enjoying it a lot more.
I do find that at times it seems like someone has tried to write a story in the margins of a TTRPG players handbook, but I guess that’s the appeal in a way.
Mallrats. The extended cut is just awful and Kevin Smith agrees.
Just about to finish Red Dwarf : Titan. The new prequel book co-written by the late Rob Grant. It pulls a lot from the lore of the Red Dwarf universe, but in a good way. It certainly “feels” like Red Dwarf, which is good in my mind.
I’ve read all the Red Rising books and it is by and far one of my favourite series. Darrow is an amazing character and although it’s epic sci-fi I didn’t find myself losing track of all the characters. I think I’ve read them twice and listened to the audiobooks.
I didn’t go much on book one of DCC, but I have been bullied into book two by too many people, so I will see how I get on.
Just finished reading The Many by Sylvain Neuvel (Wrote Sleeping Giants series). It’s going to get compared to Pluribus, but I found it different enough to enjoy. Interesting premise.
Now starting There are Rivers in the Sky, after a 5 star review from a friend. Completely out of my wheelhouse, it being neither Sci-fi or Horror, but I’m enjoying it so far and will see how it goes.
Enjoy. I’ve recently finished the 4th one in the series and enjoyed them all
Bone by Jeff Smith. Perfection.
