Thanks for the heads up, a series to avoidAnd even more worrying is the fact that the romance angle in the book continues to grow

Finished. Very good, on the whole. Many of the stories had the feel of being centuries old, but made more sense.Merlin Dreams by Peter Dickinson
This is why you cremate corpses. That way they can't come back and bite you in the butt....now all the skeletons have dug themselves out of graves and are attacking the living.
Their purpose is to free their bone brothers from the evil flesh that enslaves them.
Funny enough, I find a lot of SF and Fantasy does involve a fair bit of romance. Look at ERB with his Mars, Tarzan, Pellucidar etc. Although very tame compared to today’s climate, they nearly almost involved a hero saving his hearts’ desire from danger. Understated romance but still there....admittedly not Mills and Boon thoughSkeletons by Al Sarrantonio
A totally daft plot, very like a zombie apocalypse story.
The Earth has passed through a galactic cloud and now all the skeletons have dug themselves out of graves and are attacking the living.

An insane story so far, but it's also fun and I'm enjoying it.
(This once again confirms the theory that's been proposed by a few different Chronners that I'll read any pulp crap apart from romance)
Surely not, Danny.(This once again confirms the theory that's been proposed by a few different Chronners that I'll read any pulp crap apart from romance)
And we now have the skeleton army bearing arms and using mortars etc.Surely not, Danny.
If the flesh humans are anything like today's humans, they are probably glued to their phones and haven't noticed the skeletons running around with sharp pointy objects and things that go boom! because the zombie apocalypse has been and gone, and there are no more brains left...They're currently prevailing over the flesh humans because they are being led by the skeleton of Lenin!
If you haven't seen the movie, it's one of those that does right by the book.I finished To Kill A Mockingbird, which was very good. It was funnier and less of a tract than I'd anticipated. It focused on the moral corruption of the white characters more than the tough lives of the black characters, which was fine but not what I'd expected and ended with a surprise that, while entirely reasonable, I didn't see coming. Very good.
As Lenin's body remains embalmed in full public view in Red Square (with skeleton still inside the 'evil flesh') is that part of the plot, or is this an alternate reality?And we now have the skeleton army bearing arms and using mortars etc.

The skeleton escaped from the wax flesh and (did I mention they could talk?) used it's authoritarian personality to take command of a platoon of Red Army skeletons, probably his own tomb guards. Now he's assuming command of the skeleton assault on Greater Moscow to free the other skeletons from their people hosts.As Lenin's body remains embalmed in full public view in Red Square (with skeleton still inside the 'evil flesh') is that part of the plot, or is this an alternate reality?
Just nerdily curious...
I don't want to anticipate too much of the plot, but it looks like Rameses II and Tutankhamen will sort out Africa then invade Europe via Gibraltar.The skeleton escaped from the wax flesh and (did I mention they could talk?) used it's authoritarian personality to take command of a platoon of Red Army skeletons, probably his own tomb guards.

Meanwhile, over in America, the skeleton of Abraham Lincoln has just woken...that's as far as I've got so far
Beginning with one of my all-time favourite children's novels The Weathermonger, his debut book inspired by a vivid dream he had. Highly recommended.Ah, turns out he wrote The Changes, which was dramatised as a near-mythical (and never repeated) early-seventies children's TV series.
