Hello,
I just found this message board system and was excited to see a board dedicated to the works of Dan Simmons. I have read everything the man has published, be it short stories, novellas, chapbooks (fiction and nonfiction), each novel at least once and have even managed to read the majority of articles and interviews by and about Dan over the years. I admit it, I am a Simmons fanatic. Not in the stalking way, just a tremendous fan of his writing. members.aol.com/krobinett...ordsky.gif
My first encounter with a Dan Simmons novel was CARRION COMFORT and to this day it stands out as the best "horror" novel I've ever read. After CC I read the first two HYPERION books and was blown away. They are, along with the two ENDYMION books, the best science fiction books I've ever read.
So, after this brief introduction, I'll look forward to talking to some fellow fans of this great writer, take it easy!
Greg, who reminds anyone who's interested that Dan's second Joe Kurtz novel, HARD FREEZE, is now out in paperback with a nice excerpt from the upcoming third Kurtz book, HARD AS NAILS. <i></i>
