Reading The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Book 2 of The Passage trilogy. Around 180 or so pages in, and we are still in the past, the story is interesting, so reading about these characters, but I am still not sure if it will have any effect in the future / present, or it's just for world building. I am now invested enough now to see where it goes though.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Just finished Slewfoot by Brom. Starting Salem's Lot by Stephen King next

How was Slewfoot? It's been on my TBR for ages, but I've never gotten around to it.

It's not exactly scary but has great Fall and Halloween vibes. It was a great witch story. Fair warning - there's quite a bit of torture if you're squeamish about that sort of thing. Reading about Puritans can also be annoying.
