Oh definitely! I love them and so do a few other mates I've recommended them to. The first starts off a little slowly and is more of a thriller with zombies than a full on zombie horror, but there's some absolutely fantastic worldbuilding and the pace gradually picks up throughout the books. Some brilliant twists too.

Taking a break from The Discworld after reading 7 books in a row, I'm now reading Moon Over Soho by Ben Aaronovitch

Came up with the worlds greatest Signature, one that would make women swoon and men wish to be my friend, one that would be so devastatingly brilliant that it would end the concept of signatures forever.

And then I woke up and wrote this instead.

I'm in the midst of a re-read of OLIVER TWIST (brought on by seeing Alan Bleasdale's 1999 ITV adaptation).

I'm reading Spider World: The Tower by Colin Wilson. For a book about giant, telepathic spiders ruling the Earth, it's not half bad
