Reblogged this on Philip Fracassi and commented:
Appreciate the mention here. Some very talented writers / books to check out.
No problem.
As a reader, I appreciate that you took the time and effort to endorse these books (I was only aware of about half of these books). As a human being, I deeply appreciate your selfless gesture to encourage your readers, fans and admirers to read the works of competitors. Classy.
There is an abundance of good horror and weird fiction these days.
Great list, Laird. Thanks for the touts.
Thanks, Bruce.
