In the Tall Grass by STephen King and Joe Hill  

really liked it (my current rating) really liked it (my current rating) really liked it (my current rating) really liked it (my current rating) King's 49 page Novella, In the tall Grass, written with Joe Hill, was a fast and riveting ride. Although the ending reminded me of Tommyknockers (not one of my favs), the meat of the story had me thinking Bachman was fighting King in this one because of the way the characters are drawn.

As always, King knows how to stir the fears we are all driven by with a signature that is always very distinguishable.
4 out of five really liked it (my current rating) 's for King and Hill

Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story

 http://www.amazon.com/Bloodsucking-Fiends-Story-Christopher-Moore/dp/1416558497/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1352650756&sr=1-1&keywords=Blood+sucking+Fiends


really liked it (my current rating) really liked it (my current rating) really liked it (my current rating) really liked it (my current rating) Moore's darkly funny humor makes this a must read. Skillfully crafted, colorful characters put in impossible situations; a sweet young man who falls in love with a vampire. Not a very good one either, she was bitten hours before they met, but hey, she's hot. And then there's 'The Animals', a group of fun loving, partying down, pot smoking, beer drinking, gun toting buds who work the night shift at your local grocery store. Do they get the job done? Ah – Kindasorta – well not so much, but it's funny as hell watching them try. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention 'The Emperor', a street person, with two k-9 sidekicks, one of which has the uncanny ability to sniff out vampires. Now this could come in handy with a killer on the loose, bodies turning up blood drained and all.

Just one laugh after another - I give Bloodsucking Fiends 4 really liked it (my current rating) 's out of 5. I'll be visiting this author again.
