Something New and Something Old for Ya...(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Greetings, TCBC!! 
I've done a lot more reading recently, due to my impending move and a person needs something to do during a DVD backup write, eh? 
And today I got hit with a major gout flare-up, so I can't sit for long. What to do? Put the foot up and hit the couch with a good book. 
So without further ado, here are the last two books I've been workin on...
This might be a first for the book forum: PICS!!! 
I finished Fatal a couple days ago, and what an awesome read! Something's wrong in Belinda, WV. (Well, there had to be, or there'd be no book!  ) People seem to be going crazy, and the protagonist of the story, Matt, discovers a chemical dump left by the coal mining company.
Is that really the cause, though? 
Something else is really rotten, especially when it regards the new super-vaccine about to be unleashed on an unsuspecting public! 
I personally didn't find anything overly horrifying in this novel, but the writing style is lively, coherent, and a real BLAST to read. It has plenty of exciting twists to keep it interesting all the way through. Don't miss this one!!  
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Now about Suffer the Children. The copy you see in the pic is MINT from 1983. I found that book very dry reading at the time, so it got shelved. Now that I'm moving out, discovered this old gem in a forgotten box of books.
Reading this book twenty years later, it is quality indeed. And spooky as hell. So far, it centers on Jack and Rose Conger, the last of a bloodline living at the three-generations old place.
Something weird's going on. The daughter Elizabeth suddenly pays a moonlight visit to the cave that was forbidden by all previous generations.
That's the point I'm at, and that part was seriously:  .
It's a good read in the somewhat gothic, ghostly horror tradition. I'm only a third through so far, so I can't tell ya much else.
And like a shadow in the night, I'm outa here...
