Reading Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons

Brrrr... creepy. Unique horror.
After Song of Kali decided to read his magnum opus about mind vampires.

Something so original entirely.

Complex and convoluted. Horror and action. Philosophical grimness

At around 800 pages a Compelling read from the outset

He can do creepy pretty well. I did find the Hyperion books a bit plodding on my recent second read of them but some of the cruciform stuff is so creepy.

Just finished the first Hyperion book.
What a writer. Simmons breadth of genres and depth of historical knowledge that informs his writing is astounding.

The stories within stories (like Canterbury Tales) weave an engrossing experience.

On to The Fall of Hyperion now.
