Bachus is right. I got the 'omnibus' of the first three books of the Titus Crow series at a discount bookshop and it was the worst mangling of Lovecraft I have ever seen. Actually I have read the first four books of the Necroscope series. I don't even know why. They're so fucking crap it's not funny. I actually paid for them and everything. At least I don't read Dean Koontz. Who was it that was saying they read Dean Koontz in an airplane? He is the worst popular 'horror' fiction writer ever to exist (even worse than Anne Rice, which I suppose I should give him credit for). -=Dark_Angel=-'s horror recommendation of the week is Santa Steps Out by Robert Devereaux. It's not actually horror, although it's marketed as horror. However, it is one of the best books in that style ever (except for the last few chapters, which are too cosy).
