Dear UK, I'd start with THE PINES (if you believe in monsters), then go on through THE SHORE and THE STREETS. By then, you'll believe. Trust me.

Eloise, the votes are all anonymous, but "Night has a Thousand Eyes" is way in the lead. Should be a fun book!
Robert Dunbar
It's "Night of the Hunter." And yes! Screenplay by the amazing James Agee, and directed by Charles Laughton. Brilliant film. (I just saw it again.) I'll look forward to having you join the book discussion!

Andi, sorry, but we have no regular procedure for that. (We're talking about the Literary Darkness group, yes?) There are discussion threads set up for authors to discuss their new works, and you could always mention that you're looking for reviews... and see if anyone responds. I'll bet a few people will. Best of luck.
Robert Dunbar
Oh dear. Sorry. No idea. You need to contact management.
Robert Dunbar
Eloise: Oh dear, how annoying for you. Go to your Author Profile. Right under your first entries, there will be a function that says "Edit Data." (The text is faint, and it's on the right.) Enter your age info and save the data. Then come back and join Literary Darkness. I'll look forward to seeing you!

Theo, you seem to be doing well with reviews. Congratulations. I'm not entirely sure what it is that you're asking me to do here. We don't actually have a reading list at Literary Darkness, though any member is welcome to post about their own work. We also have a library/book shelf of excellent novels. You could add your book to that as well. Best of luck.

We'll be selecting one this week, Lisa. There will be voting!

Mystery? My life? (Who talked?)
Robert Dunbar
The problem with this question is that my life has no "mysteries." Each calamity has one culprit: myself. I've pretty much based all my books on this.
Robert Dunbar
Nick and Nora? Tom and Huck? Pooh and Christopher? I don’t know. Let me think about it.

Karen:
Tough question! I've been looking over your reading list, trying to determine what might speak to you. Maybe "Martyrs & Monsters" or "Willy." (Then there's always "The Streets.") Best of luck. And have a great New Year!

Oh, the usual: eating bonbons, praising Satan. You?
Robert Dunbar
Hard to choose. I’ve had so many cinematic role models: Peter Lorre, Conrad Veidt, Thelma Ritter, Asta�
Robert Dunbar
I'm sort of leaning toward "Mortal Dumbat."
Robert Dunbar
You mean besides Herod?
Robert Dunbar
Because we can't afford drugs.

Thanks for asking, Parker. An audio book version of my novella WOOD has been on the back burner for ages now. For some reason, people have suddenly begun asking about it. A lot.
I guess it’s time to turn up the heat.

I know I’m meant to say that I love all my children equally. But we all know that’s never really true, right? It’s always the baby of the family who gets all the attention. (Do I sound like the bitter, middle child?) THE STREETS is my latest novel and I’m still quite attached to it. I mean, in the umbilical sense. After that, probably WILLY and MARTYRS & MONSTERS.
Robert Dunbar
Ah, my old site! Yes, I just took a look at it -- very mysterious. The Uninvited Books site keeps me plenty busy these days. Drop by sometime at and let me know what you think.
