I am currently reading Passport to Hell by Terry L. Vinson and Nightmare at 20,000 Feet by Richard Matheson. I just finished reading Stir of Echoes by Matheson, and will say that book is a fucking classic in the horror genre. I agree with Stephen King with this one when it comes to horror, Matheson is a bolt of lightning that kickstarted the genre. Much as Lovecraft and Bloch did years earlier, and this guy's still going at it kicking everyone's ass. Withersin's editor told me about Graham Masterson, and I got his novels in my apartment will be reading those when I get done with these two books. The one book I am actually holding in hand in the photo.

Diocletian... FYI

The Elric Saga...

Book 1- Elric of Melnibone

Book 2- The Sailor on the Seas of Fate

Book 3- The Weird of the White Wolf

Book 4- The Vanishing Tower

Book 5- The Bane of the Black Sword

Book 6- Stormbringer

There is also a Book 7- Elric at the End of Time which came out much later, I think there's also a collected format (hardcover) that has all 7 plus a couple of other short stories.

That was originaly a 30 minute twighlight show episode...How did they make a novel/short story out of that? Or was it originally a short story/novel?
