The Books On My Desk

There is always a stack of novels on my desk, lurking there in the corner, waiting for me to crack the cover and enter their world.

Right now, for example, I have:

In the Dark of the Night by John Saul; in spite of a few distracting continuity problems and inconsistencies, it's a pretty good story.
Hawkes Harbor by SE Hinton; wonderful book, bordering on fantasy/horror, and completely unlike her popular teen novels; for a mature reader.
Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War by Clive Barker; fantasy; total immersion. Look for a future post dedicated to the Abarat books.
Dark Light by Randy Wayne White; a hurricane exposes an old wreck, which leads to mysterious places and people on the Florida coast.
The Descent: A Novel by Jeff Long; unwitting explorers discover a vast underworld society.
Forests of the Night by James W. Hall; intuitive policewoman follows a creepy trail involving an old feud; I picked it up from a display

So, that is part of the stack of dark books on my desk. Maybe you'll find a few of them to be of interest.
