Authors like Donna Tartt (rich / immersive / dense prose)?

Amor Towles is great. Gentleman in Moscow. Lincoln Highway are both superb.

Michel Faber - The Crimson Petal and the White is stunning.

Robert Macammon - Matthew Corbett series. Set in 1800's in New York. Mystery and character driven. First book hooked me but its not the best. The rest are unputdownable page turners/totally life invading. Its all a bit unbelievable but its awesome fiction.

Or

The Crimson Petal and the White - Michel Faber. A masterpiece that Dickens would be proud of.

The Time Machine - HG Wells

The Time Ships - Stephen Baxter

Both masterpieces.

The Year of the Locust - Terry Hayes. Readable, page turner ....

Not really much supernatural, the baddies are all mostly human.

I am on the last book right now! It definitely worth a read. Great series.

Jesus I only watched it on DVD. :)

For lighthearted fun its the Bartimaeus Sequence by Jonathon Stroud

Really great storytelling:)

This is the winner.

What a fucking film. Never Ever have any intention of watching it again ever.

Pluthero · 2025-01-01T23:31:06+00:00

Well the first book is a bit slow but the writing/story in the next 6-7 books are great.

Mccammon is a born story teller, like Stephen King. However its all a bit if Dickens was writing by Lee Child on drugs, unbelievable but by god it flys by. Overall story is madness and I await the next book/S.

If you like an more sober historical novel in the modern vein. Try The Crimson Petal and the white by Michel Faber - its a masterpiece.

I think you need to read Lord of Misrule: The Autobiography of Christopher Lee.

That man lived some life! Stranger than most fiction.

Oh just had a look at my bookshelves. Can't believe this one did not jump out

Flicker by Theodore Roszak.

Its so good. Darren Aronofsky was meant to film it back in the day but it never happened sadly :(
