If you like horror books about teenage sociopaths...

You should read the John Wayne Cleaver trilogy by Dan Wells. I got the first book, I Am Not A Serial Killer, for Christmas and then it sat on the shelf for a while because there was a line of other books to read, so it had to wait its turn. (Actually, some of those books are still waiting in that line and probably more than a little sore at the trilogy for taking over the way it did.) Then, the day finally came when it reached the front and I commenced reading. So I read. And read. And really, it was the first time in a long time that I'd found a book that I didn't want to put down, which meant that I read it before bed one night and had some rather interesting dreams. Later, after finishing the first book, I immediately picked up the second, Mr. Monster, because I'd already bought it when I had seen that it was out in paperback. Then, as I was reading the second, I found that the third, I Don't Want To Kill You, had come out in paperback as well. (Yes, I am cheap. The last hardcover I bought was The Monuments Men because I didn't know if I'd ever see that one in paperback. Anyway, back to the tale.) So I read the second book, zooming through it, and finishing it on a day I had told myself that I wouldn't, that I would divide up those last chapters and make it last. I didn't. I couldn't. I just had to know what happened, and once I did, I had to go buy the third book the very next day because I had a coupon and because I really, really wanted to read the third and see what would happen this time, especially since it was the last book in the series. (Yeah, I liked the series that much.) So I bought it on Friday, finished by Wednesday, and yes, I did read those last chapters all at once, even though, once again, I told myself that I wouldn't. I've got to say, I liked the ending. I liked that I still had questions. That I felt that the people would still keep on living and still have to deal with stuff. That the world would go on and that there would still be...well, I don't want to give anything away, so I won't finish that sentence. Anyway, if you like scary books and suspense and stuff like that, and if you want something to read on a pleasant afternoon, I'd take a look at these. If you don't, well, you probably said no to the title of this post and have no interest in these, unless you're willing to take a chance and meet John...

(But as LeVar would say, "You don't have to take my word for it.")
