I must confess that I have become an indiscriminate reader as I have grown older. Early in my reading life, during my teens and 20s, I read exclusively what is commonly referred to as “Literary Fiction” (admittedly a snobbish and parochial term). At some point though that changed.

Now, I read whatever fiction catches my fancy:

• Hardboiled Detective Fiction
• Westerns
• 20s & 30s Pulp Fiction
• Classic Adventure
• Science Fiction
• Fantasy
• Gothic Romances
• Cozy Fiction
• Horror

For the Month of October, I will be featuring a few Horror Reviews here at ClimbingSky. These will include some classics of the Horror genre as well as some of my favorite paperback guilty-pleasures. I will be reviewing books by a number of well known and lesser known writers including:

• Bram Stoker
• Sheridan Le Fanu
• Robert Louis Stevenson
• Stephen King
• Susan Hill
• Shirley Jackson
• Guy N. Smith
• Richard Laymon

I cannot think of a better thing to focus on for the Month of October than Playoff Baseball and Horror Fiction. Can you?
