I am looking for the next series to read. I got "Storm Front", which is part of the Dresden Series. I am not sold on it yet.

Does anyone have any recommendations of a series to start? And please do not suggest LOTR. I would like more horror, but any series that someone suggest here I will pursue. THANKS!!!

Have you read anything by Brian Lumley? His vampire series was really good.

AlvinFox Wrote:I also like the Dreamlands books. Well, the first three.

Also try the first few Matthew Corbett books by Robert McCammon (Speaks the Nightbird, Queen of Bedlam and Mister Slaughter).

The Mad American Wrote:Those are the books "Shooter" was based on right?

The Mad American Wrote:I haven't read Mister Slaughter yet, Queen of Bedlam never really hooked me and I usually love McCammon. Maybe I will have to give Slaughter a chance.

nonquixote Wrote:Yes. The movie Shooter is based on the novel Point of Impact, the first novel in the series. There are also some prequels in the series however, featuring Bob Lee's father Earl.

ETA... there is also an interest coincidence (?) to FPW's work in that the novel The 47th Samurai features much of the same lore as in Black Wind, including the legend of the Masamune sword
