timebug Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) I am currently working through the earlier books byPhil Rickman, standalone novels that occasionally havea returning character, but are in no way a 'series'. I read these when they first came out,and loved the bleakness of his landscapes and the intensity of his plots!I lost faith in him when he started writing the MerrilyWatkins series (up to 13 books now!) which I just couldnot engage with. He also wrote a couple of other serieswhich I intend to tackle; I will still avoid the MW series(having read the first three on publication),and not takingto them! Good basic chills, with folklore and legend woveninto the plots.Basic 'horror' fodder if you like, but out of the ordinary 'run of the mill' predictable horror type books with obvious twists and turns! These tend to keep even a jaded reader like me guessing! My kind of escapism! Edited July 21, 2016 by timebug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
