Books for the TBR Pile... 'Late, again...' Edition.

Look, I spent most of yesterday with a kitten asleep on me and when she wasn't sleeping, I was trying to prise a rabbit out from under my daughter's bed. And if you've ever seen a rabbit building barricades (and she was, she really was) then you'll understand why I didn't post yesterday ;o) And as for today... Well, the least said about that, the better...

I'm here now though and I got paid the other day so yep, a few books landed on my doorstep. Should we take a look at them? Should we...? Go on then :o)

Excuse the 'camera work', 'TerrorTome' has a shiny cover and I didn't want my reflection all over the picture (and neither do you, you're welcome). What we have here is possibly the most important horror novel ever... and 'The Fog' ;o) I'm reading 'TerrorTome' at the moment and it's, well... I'll let you know when my review goes up. I've been listening to the 'Breakfast in the Ruins Halloween Special' so bowed to the inevitable and grabbed a copy of 'The Fog'. To be reviewed... Soon, hopefully.

I had half a mind to do a big 'Slaine Re-Read' but saw that a load of the books aren't in print right now (and are going for silly money because of it) so compromised on a re-read of the first two books (hence, 'Timekiller') along with 'Lord of the Beasts' because damn look at the warp spasm on the cover :o) Now, if I can find my copy of 'Warrior's Dawn' then I can have a go at reading what I have roughly in order. Or...

Or I could just go straight to the end and read 'Dragon Tamer'... That'll teach me to go by the price and not by the reading order ;o) What to do, what to do...

Well, that's an answer for another day but if you think there's something here that I should read first then don't be shy, leave a comment under the post.

‘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
