[Where to start with Steampunk?]

It's taken me this long to stumble upon a definition of this (according to Wiki, 'works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy'), the idea rocks my socks but I have no idea what's good and what's faff... please help!

 

I'm starting "Boneshaker" by Cherie Priest then "Dreadnaught", the sequel. Look them up!

[Diana Gabaldon]

I think they could make one helluva mini-series out of these books! Gerard Butler as Jaime Fraser!!

[The most disturbing work of fiction that you have ever read]

I've always said that if I can get halfway through a book, I'll finish it. "Dreamcatcher" by Stephen King was the worst! I had to make myself finish it. In the middle of the book, I could have slept and not miss anything. King is one of my regular authors, but this one was not that great, in my opinion.

 

Another was "Tick Tock" by Dean Koontz...horrible!

 

Two of my favorite authors...very sad!

[Pagan/Wicca/Witchcraft Books]

I'm very interested in reading books with a pagan/wicca/witchcraft theme. I've mostly got hits in the Teen category and would appreciate any info in the adult section! I have many non-fiction, I want to read more fiction. Thanks!!

[A good horror book/author]

My absolute favorite book by Stephen King (there are so many) is "Bag of Bones". If you've read any of his stuff, you'll love this story. I also love anything by John Saul, Dean Koontz, John Connolly, Robert McCammon, Michael Cricton.
