Neurosis posted:So, I have read The Imago Sequence and Other Stories, The Light is the Darkness, The Croning, 70% of Occultation and Other Stories... I like most of the stories, but I must say that Barron's best stories are those that are mythos-building cosmic horror. The universe still feels Lovecraftian in that it takes little note of human activities, but he introduces some unique attributes: the most prominent being that while the big fish are indifferent to us in every sense, there are bottom-feeders who enjoy our suffering. They love us, as he has said several times. And they want to devour us in some fashion. Probably something involving a lot of teeth. This post just made me spend almost 50 bucks on Amazon for all 3.

Thread kind of dead so going to recommend two great books i read recently in this genre both by same author. Dead Sea - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008YA4RR0/ref=oh_d__o02_details_o02__i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The Hive - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GWT2NK/ref=oh_d__o00_details_o00__i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (Kind of continues a future version of at the mountain of madness by HPL)

Dr. Benway posted:Can anyone comment on Tim Curran's The Hive vs. The Dead Sea? I finished The Dead Sea a bit ago and while I enjoyed it I felt it could have been about a hundred pages shorter without him mentioning that, "There's seaweed everywhere and this place is creepy. No, seriously, it's really creepy.", every other paragraph. Dead Sea is his best book and has made me purchase a lot of his other work. Blackout was very good. Deadlock was short and generic. Hive 1/2 was interesting. Doll Face was good until ending it's basically silent hill though. Night crawlers i can't remember think it was ok. (I don't mind weird being explained a lot I read to see the weird situations anyways:) )
