I have been reading and writing until I fall asleep now. I'm gonna start reading more at my desk because reading on the couch when I'm tired makes me fall asleep.

Anyone else here enjoy a good book about maneating crabs, crazed dogs, werewolves, chupacabras, bigfoot? Anything with a big dumb monster indiscriminately killing hapless schmucks.

I was going to say that 90% of early GOT was like that.

Not even a great storyteller, he just has really intriguing concepts. The opening setting of Call of the Crocodile (a theme park inside an abandoned cemetery or whatever) was jarring enough to gain my interest. Somehow it made me nostalgic for the kid's shows you used to see in the late 90's, when CGI was just becoming popular and they tried to jam it in everywhere. If Gardner would be a bit more patient with himself and more open to criticism, he could be the adult's R.L. Stein, telling really goofy horror stories. But as it stands he just keeps putting out garbage.
