Books for the TBR Pile... 'That Pesky Wabbit!' Edition

A few days ago, my ex picked up a rescue rabbit, the most adorable fluffy little thing you've ever seen. We've all fallen in love with her but the poor little thing has gone through a fair bit of upheaval, before ending up at my ex's, and gets stressed very quickly, making a beeline for her favourite hiding place (behind the drinks cabinet) if things get a little too much for her. It'll take a little time but we're working to settle her in and chill out her out as well. If you're reading this and have any tips on de-stressing rabbits, leave a comment on this post or drop me an email; I'd love to hear from you :o)

And now, onto the books...

It's been a quiet week on the book buying front, I'm trying to buy fewer books anyway but I've also got a weekend away coming up and I'm trying to save book shopping for then. But... It's me :o) A few books have turned up this week, just a few but I think they're going to be good ones (I would say that but even so...) Check them out...

Brian Keene recommended 'The Drive-In', in a couple of his essays, so I thought I really ought to give it a shot. And that's exactly what I'm doing at the time of writing... ;o) That doesn't happen often but I gave the first couple of pages a go and I've been hooked ever since. I've probably given the game away but I'm still going to review 'The Drive-In' this week ;o)

And 'Broken Honour'... Here's a book that I thoroughly enjoyed back in the day and have been searching for another copy ever since. eBay sorted me out and 'Broken Honour' turned up the other day. I'd like to think I'll get to it sooner rather than later but I know what work has in store this week so... we'll see ;o)

I watched 'My Best Friend's Exorcism' the other day and loved it, a lot of fun and properly creepy in all the right places. Buying the book was a no-brainer then ;o) The plan is to make it a Halloween Read but lets see how my other books go first...

And I'm really starting to get into 'Warhammer Horror' now so 'Gothghul Hollow' was another easy purchase. I'm wondering whether I can fit this into Halloween as well, is it time to rearrange my 'Primary TBR Pile' again? Maybe...

And that's your lot for this week. If there are any books here you'd like me to bump up the TBR, of if you know your stuff about rabbits, leave a comment and let me know.

‘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
