Happy Anniversary
September marked the 7th anniversary of the Dark Forces Book Group. From the very humble beginnings when Peggy and I were the only ones there to Regina being our first new member to the present where we are going strong with our very own blog, this group shows no sign of ending any time soon.
For the curious our first book selection was Tim Powers’ Anubis Gates.
The most popular authors:
- Joe R. Lansdale 4 selections (The Bottoms, Bumper Crop, High Cotton, Lost Echoes)
- Alan Moore 4 selections (From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume 2, V For Vendetta)
- Neil Gaiman 3 selections (American Gods, Good Omens, Sandman: Doll’s House)
- Philip Pullman 3 selections (The Amber Spyglass, The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife)
- Jeff Vandermeer 3 selections (City of Saints & Madmen, The Thackery T. Lambshead Pocket Guide to Eccentric & Discredited Diseases, Veniss Underground)
Next month’s Stir of Echoes makes the third Richard Matheson selection (Hell House, I Am Legend)
Of the 84 selections, we’ve read nine graphic novels, nine 19th century publications, and two anthologies.
Thanks to everyone who has participated over the past seven years. It’s been a blast and I look forward to our next anniversary.
