Book Blogger New Year’s Resolution Challenge is hosted by PARAJUNKEE.COM
Welp, today is day four.
Todays challenge post: THE BOOKS OF 2014 YOU WON’T MISS
GUH. Todays post is going to suck. There are so many books coming out that I *want* and right now I am living off of review copies because I have no funds so my answer for this SHOULD BE “How should I know?!” So what I am going to do here is take a little literary freedom and show you some of the books that are coming out in 2014 that I “hope” I don’t miss. How about that?
First: Let me show you The 2014 STEPHEN KING books… (of course. This should not surprise you. lol)
Turn Down The Lights by Various
Release Date: 2013-12-31
I know, I know. It actually released already, however the limited edition SIGNED EDITIONS aren’t available until sometime in 2014. So it counts. Suck it.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of that premiere issue of Cemetery Dance, we’re proud to announce Turn Down the Lights, an anthology of authors who helped make the magazine what it is today.These original horror stories by Stephen King, Norman Partridge, Jack Ketchum, Brian James Freeman, Bentley Little, Ed Gorman, Ronald Kelly, Steve Rasnic Tem, Clive Barker, and Peter Straub capture the genuine love of the genre that pushes Cemetery Dance Publications forward year after year.
Mr. Mercedes: A Novel by Stephen King
Release Date: 2014-06-03
In a mega-stakes, high-suspense race against time, three of the most unlikely and winning heroes Stephen King has ever created try to stop a lone killer from blowing up thousands.In the frigid pre-dawn hours, in a distressed Midwestern city, hundreds of desperate unemployed folks are lined up for a spot at a job fair. Without warning, a lone driver plows through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes, running over the innocent, backing up, and charging again. Eight people are killed; fifteen are wounded. The killer escapes. In another part of town, months later, a retired cop named Bill Hodges is still haunted by the unsolved crime. When he gets a crazed letter from someone who self-identifies as the “perk” and threatens an even more diabolical attack, Hodges wakes up from his depressed and vacant retirement, hell-bent on preventing another tragedy. Brady Hartfield lives with his alcoholic mother in the house where he was born. He loved the feel of death under the wheels of the Mercedes, and he wants that rush again. Only Bill Hodges, with a couple of highly unlikely allies, can apprehend the killer before he strikes again. And they have no time to lose, because Brady’s next mission, if it succeeds, will kill or maim thousands. Mr. Mercedes is a war between good and evil, from the master of suspense whose insight into the mind of this obsessed, insane killer is chilling and unforgettable.
Now, some other horror I’d like to pick up in 2014
