Title:The Ancient Future Author: Traci Harding Genre: um, historical fantasy with a twist of sci-fi? I relly enjoyed this story, and it's the reason I picked up my first Kim novel 6 years ago.

Since I love mistery woven into reality, just like in Kim Wilkins books, I can recommend something from an author of whom I had not read anything before, because the stuff didn't really attract my attention, although his name is quite well-known. So here I go
Clive Barker - Coldheart Canyon
It is a story of present hollywood with ancient Romanian mystery mixed into it. A really great read.

Good to see another Clive Barker fan in the making. Make sure you read The Books Of Blood volume 1-6 next, then watch Hellraiser I & II .

Hellraiser I & II rock! But it was all downhill from there. I got up to number 4 and stopped hunting them down. "The Hellbound Heart" was a pretty good story too, bit different from the movie though.

I haven't seen anything past no 4 because neither Clive nor Pete Atkins were involved with them. The next "official" chapter in the Hellraiser saga will arrive on paper, when Clive finally gets around to finishing the big showdown between Pinhead and Harry D'Amour. It was supposed to be in his next short story collection (The Scarlet Gospels), but just keeps getting longer.
Speaking of ol' Harry, when are we going to get a local DVD release of Lord Of Illusions? Not everyone has a multizone player, y'know *sulks*.

Mine didn't start off multizone I downloaded the hacker code from the net and made it multizone. If you want to do the same just google search your make and model DVD player and type "hacker code" or "all region" or something to the like. They're pretty much all on there. It'll take you to an option in your main menu screen that allows you to change the region to 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4. Of course 0 is the best.

Well, $32.95 and much shoe leather later I got my copy of Anansi Boys today . I did not, however, get The Infernal or the Megadeth CD I wanted. Can't win 'em all I guess.

I just finished reading Maggie Furey's "The Shadowleague" trilogy and I'd like to recommend it to anyone who loves fantasy. This trilogy is unlike any I've read before because the entire thing is set over a period of no more than 7 days - not an easy thing to do when each book is over 500 pages. But she does it really well, creating an indepth look into a motley bunch of characters and how they respond when their lives are threatened. With interconnecting plot lines and very indepth character development it's one of the best trilogy's I've read.
