You know whose short stories you should read--Daphne du Maurier's. Okay, I gush about her short stories too often, but seriously, Stephanie, I really think you would LOVE them, too!Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-47590772669435299212009-10-05T01:51:41.626-06:002009-10-05T01:51:41.626-06:00I've been meaning to pick up John Connolly'...I've been meaning to pick up John Connolly's books for awhile now.

I didn't realize that he also had a book of short stories, but I'll be on the lookout for it.

I know what you mean...there are very few authors who do short stories well for me too, but these really sound good! Did you see that Connolly has a new book out?? And it looks amazing!! I'm sure you saw it because I was tweeting about it like crazy the other night when I went to the bookstore like an idiot :p It's called The Gates and I want it!chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-71664706143859483532009-10-04T16:48:53.285-06:002009-10-04T16:48:53.285-06:00I just read Nocturnes too!

Despite the over abundance of vampires lately, I really enjoyed the one in Nocturnes about the gardener. It was (is it possible?) cute/scary. <br /><br />Good luck with the rest of the challenge!Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02177812350470523072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-22198458060434601952009-10-04T16:45:26.697-06:002009-10-04T16:45:26.697-06:00I loved Book of Lost Things!
