CANDLELIT CHRONICLES: HISTORIC HAUNTS

NANOWRIMO Countdown 13

Less than two weeks to go folks! Everybody who wants to participate and hasn't signed up, please scoot over to http://www.nanowrimo.org and get in gear!





Latest read:


Barbara Michaels, The Walker in Shadows. Ms. Michaels (aka Elizabeth Peters) never disappoints. In addition to solid characterization, a wonderful grasp of family dynamics and grief, we learn a ton about Maryland's Civil War era. Excellent book!





Now reading:


John Farris, Wildwood


Well, Mr. Farris never disappoints either, but this one is surprisingly fantasy-ridden, in addition to the contemporary issues, historical additives, pending horror & supernatural, and as always, excellent characterizations and dialogue interweaving with the subtle scaries.
