I have a suggestion for when we are finished with Everything's Eventual.
Peter Straub has a book of short stories called Interior Darkness that I would like to know if you would be interested in reading.
None of these stories are available online anywhere that I can find so it would either require buying the book or getting it at the library. We have a ways to go before we finish with Everything's Eventual so you have time to check to see if you can get it at your local library. There's always the chance this book will show up sometime in the future on Amazon's daily deal for $1.99 too. Anyway, I'm throwing this out there for some feedback. I don't want to put something up that we have to buy unless everyone's on board. Let me know what you think.
 After the completion of Everything Eventual? |

I dont know about that. i'm not buying it anyway and the chance that they are available on library here are slim. Why dont we make a short break from recent literature? I know Mary shelley wrote short stories besides Frankenstein, gothic ones. Or perhaps M.R. James or Ambrose Bierce or even a Poe or Lovecraft story we havent read yet. Its always interesting, i think, to get to know where it all started. Most of their short stories ought to be available on the net through public domain. Just an idea, fell free to shoot it down. |

I have a small suggestion----wireman , @kurben , cat , neesy , drawntokatet -- all others that have the Peter Straub book or not....
What if, when we complete Everything Is Eventual we alternate between the Straub book and some of @kurben 's suggestions of free on line. That would give all an opportunity to continue with the group discussions.
Thoughts?

Ambrose Bierce was BRILLANT! I have a comicbook style copy of the Devil's Dictionary. It's cool. He was such a smart-a§§. I got a collection of his stories from free on my Kindle a few years ago. |

Seems like a pretty good idea, as for Kurben's suggestions, are we going to stick to a certain author? Or is it going to a changing author thing?
I think wireman, said EE would take the group thru to Nov. 11th (16 stories). Variety is the spice of life. I did enjoy reading different styles- so many free stories are available.

That is plenty of time, isn't it. I have plenty of suggestions but that can wait. November seem like 10 years away right now. Now its sunny, shorts and t-shirt weather and remember to drink a lot of cold drinks. November i'll be wearing a sweater and not my summerjacket and it will be cold. November is a totally different ERA!! Lets finish EE first.

I missed this one while we were on vacation. Went back and read it after I read this week's.
It is a creepy story. One of those "what if" kind of stories. How would I react? What would I do?
It did not hold the suspense for me this time around, one of those that once you know the ending it loses a bit of power stories. So I didn't get the racing heartbeat, wondering if they were going to do the autopsy on him, or realize he was not dead first.
One thing that was kind of jarring to me was all the joke telling. I suppose that happens in autopsy rooms, and I suppose it is a coping mechanism of sorts. But it still made me kind of not like those characters very much.
As far as what we read after EE, I downloaded the Straub book and am equally ok with alternating. That has been how we've been doing it, and it has worked out pretty well. I think we got sidetracked into reading a whole book when Joe's last book came out, which worked well, new stories to discuss AND the selections were decided for a while, too. But reading different authors in addition to SK or Joe Hill was always the idea. 🙂
Anyway, I'm game for all of it! I enjoy our discussions, even when I'm late to them. 😄😉

I saw a movie on tv once that I always associated with the story even though they have nothing in common. A woman is in a room smoking telling her story, how she escaped her husband and tries to start a new life. Turns out he kills her thought and it was her spirit telling the story. The last scene is showing her on the autopsy table.
It was a CBS made for tv movie i think i can't remember the name.
