I for one love them, provided they are well written, of course but can certainly understand why others don't. I have a friend who loves Brite's work, haven't read any myself. Does all sound like perfect R.I.P. reading. I remember finding it quite a surprise when I first started blogging and reading book blogs how divided people were on liking or disliking short stories.

I read Lost Souls by her a while ago and enjoyed it although it is pretty graphic. Will have to search through your blog as I have read Fables and hope to read Alias Grace and The Rest Falls Away soon. I’m getting quite in to short stories at the moment so may look out for this.

And this is her first collection. H you didn't tell me. But I'll cope.

Anyway, can't get the first John Connolly book for you - Poppa has no idea where the damn thing is! So you will have to proceed with your original plan of reading *gargh* out... of... sequence.

This one takes me back! I used to be a big fan of Brite's stuff when I was a teenager. I agree with you, her stuff isn't necessarily prize winning writing, but it's very entertaining and she writes a good creepy story. She tends to do a better job with her character development in her novels. I've heard her newer stuff is much better, though I haven't read any of it yet. She's been doing a bunch with Subterranean Press and Antideluvean Tales is supposed to be quite good! Wow! This one takes me back! I used to be a big fan of Brite’s stuff when I was a teenager.
