I'm all about 'short reads' this week and today, I'm looking at a creepy tale of a book that is very particular about how its tale is told... @titanbooks.bsky.social @ronaldmalfi.bsky.social lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/the-skin-of-her-teeth-ronald-malfi-from.html

ICYMI earlier... Have some thoughts on a couple of #Warhammer40K stories, both are worth a look 😃 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/tattershield-strange-demise-of-titus.html

I don't do so well in the heat so just thoughts on a couple of short stories today. It is #Warhammer40K though and they are stories by Dan Abnett and William Crowe... 👍 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/tattershield-strange-demise-of-titus.html

They're making a film of #VictorianPsycho! This naturally makes me very happy but will they include my favourite bit? We'll see... lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/trailer-victorian-psycho-2026.html

Meanwhile, after a trip to @forbidden-planet.bsky.social ... lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/conan-and-fall-of-house-of-slaughter.html

ICYMI earlier... I'm talking #Aliens again and this time, it's 'Black' vs. 'Red' 👍 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/aliens-genocide-david-bischoff-titan.html

'Aliens: Genocide' - a book that knows exactly what it is and just revels in it 😉 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/aliens-genocide-david-bischoff-titan.html

ICYMI earlier... Have some thoughts on #DoctorWho novelization 'The Satan Pit', go on 😉👍 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/doctor-who-satan-pit-matt-jones-bbc.html

ICYMI earlier... I'm starting off the week with a 'Night Shoot' 😉 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/night-shoot-horror-novel-david-sodergren.html

Kicking off the week with thoughts on 'Night Shoot' by @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social (featuring a cameo from 'that phrase' from the Ronseal Advert...) lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/night-shoot-horror-novel-david-sodergren.html

It has been a quiet couple of days, for the blog anyway 😉Lets have a little look at my current TBR pile. Who knows, I may even finish a couple of them... lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/a-tale-of-stalled-reading.html

Too much going on at the moment so I'm recycling this old review of Daniel Polansky's 'Low Town' so I can have a little breather 😉 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/low-townthe-straight-razor-cure-daniel.html

The Oceans of the world finally have the hero they deserve 😀 #XanderTheShark #TheBoys

ICYMI earlier... Here I am, saying things about #Alien novel 'The Female War' 👍 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/aliens-female-war-steve-perry-stephani.html

The plan wasn't to tear through the first 'Aliens' Omnibus but i had the best time with it so here I am, rounding things off with stuff to say about 'The Female War' 👍 @titanbooks.bsky.social lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/aliens-female-war-steve-perry-stephani.html

ICYMI earlier... It's 'Earth vs. the Lava Spiders'... 😀👍 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/earth-vs-lava-spiders-candace-nola.html

If it says 'Earth vs.' in the title then I'm reading it, an occasional series... 😉 Have some quick thoughts on 'Earth vs. the Lava Spiders' by @candacenola.bsky.social 👍 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/earth-vs-lava-spiders-candace-nola.html

ICYMI earlier... Have some thoughts on #Alien novel 'Nightmare Asylum' (which isn't code for 'my office' but sometimes it could be...) 😉 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/aliens-nightmare-asylum-steve-perry.html

Kicking off this week in the same way that I ended last week, looking at old #Alien novels... 'Nightmare Asylum' is a big improvement on 'Earth Hive'👍 @titanbooks.bsky.social lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/aliens-nightmare-asylum-steve-perry.html

ICYMI (a hell of a lot) earlier... Have some quick thoughts on a few movies that I've been watching 😉 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/reading-has-kind-of-stalled-over-last.html

I'm going to try and catch up with some reading today. While I do that, here's what I've been watching over the last few days 👍 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/read...

ICYMI earlier... I enjoyed #Alien novel 'Earth Hive' but at the same time... 🤔 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/aliens-earth-hive-steve-perry-titan.html

Rounding off the week with a look at Steve Perry's #Alien novel 'Earth Hive'. There's a lot of good stuff happening here but it didn't quite hang together for me... lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/aliens-earth-hive-steve-perry-titan.html

ICYMI earlier... Today is a day for talking #DoctorWho so, a pretty good day then 😀 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/doctor-who-and-face-of-evil-terrance.html

Monday used to be the day for posting about #DoctorWho Target books. Now? Posts just appear whenever they feel like it 👍 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/doctor-who-and-face-of-evil-terrance.html

The latest in my occasional series of 'posting trailers on my blog so I don't forget to see the actual movie...' #EvilDeadBurn lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/trailer-evil-dead-burn-2026.html

ICYMI earlier, or even ICYDMI earlier, I had things to say about Sara Gran's 'Come Closer' and they are all over here... ⬇️ lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/come-closer-sara-gran-faber-faber.html

Didn't read a lot over the Bank Holiday weekend but I did read Sara Grant's 'Come Closer' and it was superb 😀 @faberbooks.bsky.social lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/come-closer-sara-gran-faber-faber.html

ICYMI earlier... 'Past Me' had a little something to say about 'Conan the Buccaneer' 👍 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/conan-buccaneer-lin-carter-l-sprague-de.html

I'm having a day off (from the blog anyway...) but I've left an old post to take up the slack. Not all #Conan books are winners... 😔 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/conan-buccaneer-lin-carter-l-sprague-de.html

ICYMI earlier (or if you just forgot that you didn't miss it, I don't mind...), here's what I had to say about Benjamin Percy's 'Predator Versus Spiderman'... 👍 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/predator-versus-spider-man-percy.html

I'll be honest... Chemo has left me wondering what day it is but I do know that todays blog is all about 'Predator versus Spiderman' 👍 I'll have to get back to you about what day it is @benjaminpercy.bsky.social lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/predator-versus-spider-man-percy.html

It's 'Bank Holiday Weekend Time' and here's the mini-TBR pile that will be keeping me company... 👍 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/a-new-tbr-pile-three-day-weekend-edition.html

The week caught up with me, last night, so no book post today I'm afraid. I do have a #ResidentEvil trailer for you though... lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/05/trailer-resident-evil-2026.html

ICYMI earlier, I'm now up to Volume Seven of 'I Hate Fairyland'... 😀 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/04/i-hate-fairyland-volume-seven-in-mean.html

Not my favourite volume of 'I Hate Fairyland' but Gert is still on top form so a fun read is guaranteed 👍 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/04/i-hate-fairyland-volume-seven-in-mean.html

ICYMI earlier... I've been in need of a good comfort read and for me, that always means a trip to the land of Crotheny and 'The Briar King'... lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/04/the-briar-king-greg-keyes-tor-uk.html

Because it is always the right time for a 'comfort read', especially right now 😉👍 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/04/the-briar-king-greg-keyes-tor-uk.html

I was thinking about comfort reads and now I'm wondering, does anyone here have a non-fiction comfort read?

Kicking off this week with a recap of my weekend comic book reading ( #alien, #EventHorizon & #Conan, just in case you were wondering) 😉 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/04/alien-event-horizon-and-some-more.html

This is what happens when insomnia stops by and you have a blog... 🤔 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/04/when-is-copy-of-robert-mccammons-night.html

ICYMI earlier... Several Gerts walk into a comic book, only one walks out... @imagecomics.com lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/04/i-hate-fairyland-volume-six-last-gert.html

It has been a weird week for reading but I'm rounding it off with volume 6 of 'I Hate Fairyland' so all's well that ends well (and all that) 😉 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/04/i-hate-fairyland-volume-six-last-gert.html

Yesterday was a 'write-off' for reading so... Have a movie trailer about a murderous Hippo instead. You're welcome 😉 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/04/hungry-2026-trailer.html

Doesn't feel like a Wednesday yet but I'll still take it over a Tuesday. Today, I'm looking at a horror collection that's a little bit older than I am... lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/04/frighteners-new-stories-of-horror-and.html

ICYMI earlier... I was all about the 'Savage Sword of Conan' today 👍 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/04/the-savage-sword-of-conan-volume-2.html
