Although my own horror series, Invisible Fiends, doesn’t start coming out until Feb 2010, I’ve got a few new books sneaking onto the shelves this year.
Of all of them, my favourites are the Ben 10 stories I’ve written for Egmont. Book 1 is already out. Book 3 and Book 4 will be out in May, and have just become available to pre-order on Amazon. Book 2 was written by the excellent Glenn Dakin, who we shall be hearing much more of in 2009 …
Sticking with book recommendations, I recently read I Am Legend by Richard Matheson for the first time. It’s a great book for adults and older children alike – very different to the film (and also much better). Well worth a read.
I loaned it to one of the monsters here – Grunty Brushthrapp of Ing – and he loved it. In fact, he devoured the whole thing from cover to cover. Literally.
He says he’ll give me it back when it has passed through his digestive tract, but I’ve told him he can keep it.

Have you tried Matheson’s THE SHRINKING MAN? It’s amazing!

No, but I’ve tried Scott’s CILLIT BANG! Is that the same?
