Ah, rare.

John Dies at the End and the Raw Shark Texts are two recent ones, though RST didn't keep me hooked.

In idle moments I sometimes like to close my eyes and imagine Joseph Goebbels' forty-third birthday party. I like to think that even in the busy autumn of 1940, Hitler might have found time to oragnise a surprise party for his close friend - pretending for weeks that the date had slipped his mind, deliberately ignoring the Propaganda Minister's increasingly sulky and awkward hints, and waiting until the very last order had been dispatched to his U-boat commanders on the evening of Tuesday, 29 October before he led Goebbels on some pretext into the cocktail lounge of the Reich Chancellery. A great should of "Alles Gute zum Geburtstag!', a cascade of streamers, some relieved and perhaps even slightly tearful laughter for Goebbels himself as he embraced the Führer, and the party could begin.

I love the start of "The Stranger". The damned thing is so slick and devoid of meaningless bits.

I had to work for a while with John Dies at the End. I knew I wanted to read it, but I was by no means hooked.
Can't wait for the movie.
