The Moth Man Prophecies

Now why can't I zip back in time and suggest that? Damn you, temporal physics.

Nah. He probably rode the T-Rex off into the sunset.

That's not Optimus Prime.

That's Harry Dresden.

Why have I not heard of this man before? Why?!

Who? Harry Dresden?

No explanation for why you haven't heard about him, especially given how many of his fans there are appear to be on this board. Do yourself a favor and go pick up "Storm Front," the first book in the series. The T-Rex-riding happens in the book "Dead Beat," but all of the books are full of awesome and win.

I think I may just have to do that.

Ah - my husband has just explained why I've not heard of him. We're in the UK and also we don't have Sky. Mystery solved.

?? I'm not talking about the short-lived TV series. Avoid that like the plague. Read the books by Jim Butcher.

The point I think he was making is that they're better known in the US than they are over here, partly due to the TV series. I don't know.

In any case, read them if you get the chance. Harry deals with vampires, werewolves, ghosts, the Fae, fallen angels, incubi and succubi, warlocks, zombies, cosmic horrors, eldritch abominations, and necromancers, and that's before you take into account the "politics" of the supernatural world (especially where the White Council of Magic is concerned) or Harry's dealings with gangsters and similar.

I'm overdue for a book-buying spree, so if my bank balance agrees, this may just happen

Wonder if he was the author who wrote that book that freaked me out when I was young. There was this story in it about a man who had a luna moth land on his face, and when it next closed its wings the man's face was nothing but blood pouring down from the skull. Perhaps this was the moth.

Must have been quite interesting to deal with. But yes, I second the Dresden files books, they are quite excellent.
