"My Heart is a Chainsaw," by Stephen Graham Jones. "Jade Daniels is an angry, half-Indian outcast with an abusive father, an absent mother, and an entire town that wants nothing to do with her. She lives in her own world, a world in which protection comes from an unusual source: horror movies…" I liked it. Winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel and Named a Best Book of 2021 by NPR. Apparently its a trilogy, so I will have to look up the other two.

I also breezed through, "The Good Guy," in two nights, by Dean Koontz. An oldie, but real goodie.

Just started, "The Never-Ending Lives of Liver-Eating Johnson," by D.J. Herda. Its supposed to be the story of the real Jeremiah Johnson. Colorful characters. So far, so good.

Merry Xmas, all!
