Happiness Is...

Happiness is:

Finally* receiving a box from Subterranean Press with Caitlín Kiernan's The Dry Salvages, Low Red Moon and Poppy Z. Brite & Christa Faust's Triads.

More reading material for the pile, yay!






* From a pre-order dating back to 2004, with most items released in 2005. And it only took over a dozen emails, a letter, a fax and a message on their answering machine to finally receive it.

If you're going to read Kiernan's books, I'd start with Silk, then Threshold, then Low Red Moon and then Murder of Angels. (And early next year there will be Daughter of Hounds).

And there are various short story collections too, but a couple of those are only small press releases, and generally sold out from the printer (but availible through various bookdealers, and sometimes even Amazon.com).

Have you read any of Poppy's other books?

oooh, thanks for the recommendation. I'll certainly keep that order in mind--why though? Does her writing inprove in that order?

I haven't gotten any of Poppy's other books yet, but I've heard that she gets better from the two that I have. Still, those two are actually fairly low in priority in my reading pile--I have several Guy Gavriel Kay books to get through after I'm done with my Storm Constantine ones.

Have you read any Kay?

The order is mostly due to the fact that there are recurring characters, and somewhat of a chronological progression of time.

No, I've never read any Kay. What genre does he write?
