Return of the Book Club of the Damned?

Sorry it’s taken me so long to find another book worthy of Book Club of the Damned, but I think I’ve found the next selection. Bookgasm highlights Travis Thrasher’s Isolation. Thrasher is a Christian horror novelist.

With its elements of a strained marriage and a family spending a winter in a remote lodge that is not their own, ISOLATION immediately reminds one of Stephen King’s THE SHINING — an association that very well may be on purpose, given Thrasher’s reference to the book in his own, as well as a thank-you note to King on the acknowledgments page for a career influence.

Anyone want to bet I can’t read the whole thing?

YESSS! I loved Book Club of the Damned!

What're the wagers? I'd offer to send cookies, but cookies-from-commenters seems like a skeevy idea. I'll order wacky shirts off the internet for you if you complete it!

Sucker bet. I believe with the proper incentive you could finish reading just about any book. But, Book Club of the Damned is great and I look forward to your new installment.
