Books For The TBR Pile... 'Finally Found Them!' Edition

This was meant to be yesterday's post but in a stroke of irony, I somehow managed to mislay the books in a tiny flat that's full of books. Talk about the perfect camouflage... ;o) I finally found them, just far too late to make it a 'Saturday Post', so here we are :o) Lets take a look...

The 'Catch-Up' Books...

I really enjoyed 'Priest of Bones', back in February, and figured it was way past time that I continued reading so I found myself a copy of 'Priest of Lies'. There are loads of books that I need to get to first but I'm hoping that I can get to 'Priest of Lies' when I go on leave next week. We'll see.

I found myself a copy of David Gemmell's 'Bloodstone', not so long ago, and it very quickly became clear that I needed to start from the beginning of that series if it was going to make any sense to me; that's where 'Wolf In Shadow' comes in ;o) This is a definite 'holiday read', I'm really looking forward to my week off but that's another story...



The 'Black Library' Books...

I'm really getting into the 'Warhammer Horror' line, these days, so 'The Harrowed Paths' was a must buy, in particular for the Jake Ozga (I loved 'The Skull Throne') and Lora Gray ('He Feasts Forever' is worth a look) entries. I'll be dipping in and out of this book as and when the mood takes me ;o)
I've been meaning to pick up 'Dark Imperium' for a long time and finally took the leap yesterday. I may be the only Roboute Guilliman fan out there so am looking forward to seeing what Guy Haley does with him.


Don't expect to see 'Pulp Horror' get a post of it's own, I thought I'd pick up a copy to get some ideas about what 'old school' horror that I should be reading. Lets just say that if you like your pulp horror, this is a book that you could do with reading.
'The Cimmerian (vol. 2)' though... That will definitely have it's time on the blog ;o) The books that I've picked up, so far, have been good so I've got high hopes for this one too. Looking to get stuck into it this week so expect a review soon.

And that's that for this week, anything here catch your eye? Or is there anything here that you've enjoyed and think I should bump to the top of the pile? Leave a comment and let me know... ;o)

‘The Long and Hungry Road’ – Adrian Tchaikovsky (Black Library)

After not finishing ‘Witchbringer’ (not the book’s fault, I still think it could be worth your time), I thought I’d change pace a little and go for a short, sharp burst of something instead. Something that would blow a few cobwebs away and wake me up a bit :o) Now in my experience, there’s nothing shorter and sharper than a Warhammer short story so that was the direction of my reading taken care of. And as far as the focus went… I’ve read a few Warhammer tales, in my time, but I’ve never read a tale that looks at the events of the 41st Millennium through the eyes of the rapacious Tyranids. So when I saw ‘The Long and Hungry Road’ on Amazon, it pretty much chose itself. To face a Tyranid invasion is a waking nightmare. The skies darken with spores, your mind echoes with alien screeches, and countless weapon-organisms descend upon you with razor teeth and claws. How much greater would your horror be, to realise that the hive ship above thinks nothing of your fate – that it crushes you

'Mad God' (2021)

It's that time again where Youtube throws me a 'Shudder' advert and I think to myself, 'I'm paying five quid a month for this, I really should watch something, lets give it a go...'   This time round, 'It' was the film 'Mad God' and the trailer was this mad batshit crazy shot of stop-motion horror that was over before I'd had a chance to get my head round it; leaving me pretty unsettled but with no clear idea just why that was... That's all I need sometimes, I was in... It's almost an hour later and, damn, that was grim, bleak and... What the hell just happened? A corroded diving bell descends amidst a ruined city and the Assassin emerges from it to explore a labyrinth of bizarre landscapes inhabited by freakish denizens. That is about all I can tell you about 'Mad God' and that's only because I had a quick look on IMDB and that was all IMDB could tell me... 'Mad God' is any number of things but it's not

‘Worms of the Earth’ – Robert E. Howard.

Page Count: 27 Pages I have a copy of this on my shelf and the plan was to pick it up for a read on the way into work this morning. Well, that was the plan but I was half asleep, leaving the house, and totally forgot… No matter though, that’s what the Kindle app is for (although if I’d been a little more awake, I’d have read it off Project Gutenberg instead, you can find ‘Worms of the Earth’ Here ). 99p later and my ‘commute reading’ was secured 😉 I always seem to fall into the trap of just reading ‘Conan’ stuff whenever I fancy reading a little Howard. Not that that’s a bad thing, it’s just that there’s a lot of his other stories out there that are more than worth your time when you come across them. ‘Worms of the Earth’ is very much one of those tales but you knew that already, didn’t you? You didn’t? You should do something about that, take it from me… After witnessing one of his subjects die at the hands of Roman governor Titus Sulla, Bran Mak Morn vows vengeance on Sulla but at w
