I actually wanted to check out some of Barker's other books too - I really, really enjoyed Books of Blood, so his were the books I was gonna pick up next... also, there's a new King book coming out soon and that is also on my list. And mebbe Practical Demon Keeping to see if Moore is worth a further look, or this is the one example that your taste in novels sucks.
I like his short fiction. I actually wish he'd write more. Or maybe a Cross novel.
Klint suggests The Great And Secret Show. I prefer The Damnation Game. Considering my success factor, I don't think your dislike of Moore (you humorless lawyer, you ) should count towards my total...
Sometimes the compilations of short stories makes for a better read than a long drawn out novel.
I'll prolly pick up both titles - if I like an author I have a tendency to pick up several books of their books at one time, so Barker looks like he's up next.
And I have a sense of humor - I'm friends with you, aren't I?
Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi
