Recently read ENDLESS NIGHT, by Richard Laymon... frankly, this is the first time Laymon dissapointed me, but that may have been because of the book's reputation (often heralded as one of Laymon's best). It wasn't bad at all, it's just that it was far more dark comedy than horror per se (even through it has a cult of serial killers and a very nasty ending).

Currently reading MUSEUM OF TERRORS, a series of short stories by Jinwo Ito (UZUMAKI, GYO), mostly about "Tomie", a girl who remains young and beutiful throughout years. Unfortunately for her, her admirers invariably wind up killing her. And unfortunately for them, Tomie always comes back with gory revenge in her mind...

Very good, definitely recommended for fans of japanese horror.

P. S. Nice hearing from you again, EdgarAllen, we haven't heard from you in ages... Hope your books are going allright.
