Casimir Radon posted:Does anyone know of any scholarly books on the occult? I've been looking around but haven't found anything outside of the pseudo-scientific. I don't know how scholarly they are, but you can probably read Montague Summers's stuff. The History of Witchcraft and Demonology, 1926 The Vampire: His Kith and Kin, 1928 The Vampire in Europe, 1929 The Werewolf, 1933 A Popular History of Witchcraft, 1937 Witchcraft and Black Magic, 1946 The Physical Phenomena of Mysticism, 1947. I've read Vampire in Europe and History of Witchcraft and Demonology and they were pretty interesting. Lots of folktales and legends and that kind of thing.

I've heard good things about ''The Things They Carried'' by Tim O'Brien.

I'm interested in reading some fiction taking place in Alaska. Any suggestions?

I'm looking for interesting horror, probably something written in the last 10 years (I'm open to old stuff, but I've mostly read everything). Suggestions should take in account I'm a seasoned horror reader, so avoid the usual suspects (Lovecraft, King, Barker, Machen, Leiber, Tessier, Joyce, Masterton, Howard, Bloch, etc). Thanks!

Unfortunately, other than CommunistMojo, no one's replied to my post. I ended up choosing Boneshaker as a gift for my gf and she loves it (so much so that I'd highly suggest it to anyone who thinks a post-apocalyptic/steampunk/zombie book sounds interesting). Anyone give me some more suggestions? Maybe something by Charles de Lint? Should work out.
