Another Random TBR Pile... 'Weekend Reading' Edition

It hasn't been a bad week, this week, there's just been rather a lot of it so... No book post today but, a 'post about books' is the next best thing ;o)

Due to a number of things going on at the moment, I've got the attention span of a coked up goldfish and very little ability to focus on what I'm reading. The Black Library short stories are helping, a bit, but I'm after something a little more substantial so... I took a little journey among the shelves and grabbed a few books that caught my eye. The following TBR pile is heavy on the Black Library books but that's what's catching my eye right now and sometimes, you've just got to follow your instincts ;o) Lets check out the TBR Pile then...


I told you it was a little 'Black Library heavy' ;o) I've always wanted a copy of 'Into the Maelstrom' so I can't very well just ignore it now I have one. Loads of bite sized short stories should hold my attention. I started reading 'Leontus' yesterday, making it an easy choice for the pile and 'Creed: Ashes of Cadia' is a book that I started, only to put it down for a second and totally forget about it. I told you, no focus ;o) Hopefully I'll have better luck with it this time round.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Janelle Schiecke's 'Death Cult' so 'The Clatter Man' was another easy choice and I'm hoping for more of what I found in 'Death Cult'. And with trailers for 'The Long Walk' and 'The Running Man' doing the rounds, I really want to find them in 'The Bachman Books' before they hit the cinema.
And 'The Boys Omnibus: Volume 1'... I'm having a tooth out tomorrow and I'm really hoping that this will take my mind off it. We'll see :o)

And that's your lot. Anything here catch your eye? Leave a comment and let me know.

‘The Way Out’ & ‘Perdition’s Flame’ (Warhammer Horror, Black Library)

It’s Friday so you’d normally be looking at a post on whatever I read, on the bus to/from work, yesterday. Not today though… I had a touch of insomnia followed by a day in the office so while I had a book in my bag (I always have a book in my bag…), I was in no state to actually read it. Luckily, I had a couple of Black Library audiobooks on my phone so I listened to them instead. As a rule, I don’t tend to do too well with audiobooks that are hours long and just a narrator narrating. Black Library though, have a nice line in audiobooks that have a full cast, run for just over an hour and are full of immersive sound effects I thought I’d see how that worked with a couple of ‘Warhammer Horror’ tales… ‘The Way Out’ – Rachel Harrison In the midst of a vast gas nebula lies a remote watch-station, hanging silently against a tapestry of dying stars. It sits alone, patiently awaiting lost travellers adrift in the freezing vastness of the void. To such souls it appears as a blessing, a safe h...

‘Hellraiser 3: Hell on Earth’ (1992)

Image
Every time Halloween comes round, I promise myself that I’ll watch more horror films and read more horror fiction; we’re halfway through the month and you can see how that’s going so far… There’s still plenty of October left though so lets see how I do from now until the end of the month ;o) First up is ‘Hellraiser 3’ which I watched last night, mostly because I love it (you can tell how this post is going to go, sorry…) but also because it was cheap on Prime and I’m still just on the wrong side of payday. Here goes… TV reporter Joey Summerskill’s life is changed forever when she witnesses the horrific death of a teenager, torn apart by bloody chains. Joey’s search for a story leads her to the Lament Configuration Box but it has already been opened, waking an old evil from its slumber… Now Pinhead walks the earth once more, creating a new army of Cenobites from the transmuted flesh of his victims; his one desire to reclaim the Box. Even with help from an unexpected source, Joey Summers...

'Conan the Barbarian: Battle of the Black Stone’ – Zub, Scharf, Canola (Titan Comics, Heroic Signatures)

Image
It’s starting to look like this could be the week where I make a half decent dent in my ‘Comics TBR Pile’, lets see how we do... I’ve really been struggling with the ‘Savage Sword of Conan’ collection just recently (more than one reason but I want to finish the collection first before I talk about it) and I thought that I’d have to take a little step back from ‘Conan’ comics and come back when I was in a better mood for it. Until I realized that there was another ‘Conan’ comic lurking in the TBR pile and maybe I could give that a go instead. So that’s what I did. I’ve caught little glimpses of the ‘Black Stone’ storyline, in other ‘Conan’ comics, but I can’t help but feel that the event has kind of passed me by a little. That’s on me though to be fair, I’ve got the attention span of a goldfish right now and there are so many books that I just haven’t been able to focus on; I suspect a couple of them talk about a Black Stone… Oh well, I’m here now. Where better a place to catch up on ‘B...
