Stephen King

ALL THAT IS MINE I CARRY WITH ME, by William Landay: A wonderful, well-written novel that crackles with suspense. It's by the man who wrote DEFENDING JACOB, which I think you can still find as a limited series on Apple+. Both are worth your time.

Wonderful book!

BOYS IN THE VALLEY, by Philip Fracassi: An isolated orphanage is infested by demons. Old-school horror. I think there's a trade edition coming this summer, but there's a limited from Earthling Publications. Nice book. Check their website. Might still be 1 or 2 available.

CITY OF DREAMS, by Don Winslow: It's a crime classic. Winslow's best book, by far. You won't put it down. I think it's published next month.

AGE OF VICE, by Deepti Kapoor: Aspiring novelists should read this. The narrative is clean and lean, the story unputdownable. Every word counts. This is how it's done when it's done exactly right.

You should. I’ve read it, and it’s terrific.

PICTURE IN THE SAND, by Peter Blauner: Excellent thriller set around the making on THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, written by a film and TV veteran (LAW & ORDER SVU, for one) who knows what he's talking about. I loved this book and think you will, too.

The best novel I read in 2022 was THE DELUGE, by Stephen Markley. It will be published on January 10 of this year. This is what the world is going to look like in the next 10 years, if changes aren't made. More terrifying than THE STAND. Because it's real.

DESERT STAR is a terrific book. I read it and the world went away until I was done. Pure magic.

THE DELUGE, by Stephen Markley: This book is, simply put, a modern classic. If you read it, you'll never forget it. Coming in January. I'll remind you. Prophetic, terrifying, uplifting.

Dan Fesperman has a new novel called WINTER WORK. If it's as good as SAFE HOUSES (2018), you're in for a treat. SAFE HOUSES is the best suspense/spy novel I've read since LeCarre. You can probably get it on Kindle.

From Barnes & Noble: My Dearest Darkest is a must-read for dark academia fans. A niche market, I suspect.
