    Haunted, edited by Jessy Marie Roberts. 42 short stories about haunting, 252 pages all in all, so there's a lot of flash fiction. It's uneven but there's a few good chilling tales in there. I bought it at 10p in a second hand bookshop. Great investment. And you might have guessed that I'm already on a countdown to Halloween mode.

    The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett I'm on chapter 3 and so far it's a great book! Really enjoying the dialogue even if out of date by today's standards.

    So that novelization must have the opening sequence Carpenter filmed but didn't use. I only recently saw that deleted scene.

    I should really search that out and try it. Plus what the heck are these by Christopher Sebela, 2015-2016.

    I think the dialogues stand the tst of time. Heck they're iconic.

    Just finished the fourth volume of Judge Ti by Frederic Lenormand, Petits Meurtres entre Moines. Nice little investigation in two monasteries, even if a plot point was stolen directly from Robert Van Gulik's work.

    That's a good one, @Thunderfinger. I loved the rotoscoped film too.

    I'm on Europe at Midnight, the second of four books in Dave Hutchinson's 'Fractured Europe' series of near-future spy/sci-fi novels. I recommend them very highly.

    This NTTT drama is starting to take its toll on me.

    I'm going to start reading "Moonraker" again to satisfy my Bond fix.

    The film is fantastic, something of its own. The book is also one of PKD s better ones.

    Finally checking out my first book of the year (better late than never), reading Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for the first time, after seeing the film 100 or more times. Love it.

    Right now, I'm reading Histoires Secrètes de Sherlock Holmes, by René Réouven, featuring the pastiches the french writer wrote about Conan Doyle's sleuth.

    Quite a few surprises so far. And yes, the story of the cormorant would have caused quite a shock if it had been known at the time.
