I would love to see a TV series made out of Simon R. Green's Nightside books. I think fans of The Sandman, John Constantine and Supernatural would get a kick out of both Nightside and John Taylor's adventures.

1. The Nightside of London, from Simon R. Green's Nightside series. Also ancient Greece if the mythological Gods existed.
2. I'm grateful I'm off the next 4 days, and I have 3 different readathons to participate in.

1. Either Simon R. Green's Nightside series or Secret Histories series, both ran 12 books. If we count various Star Trek books as one series, its would be 35-40 books.
2. As I get older, I find I want to wait until completed before I start reading them. I read the first GoT book back in 1996, now 25 years later we still have no conclusion.
3. I don't have a preference.

The_Penniless_Author Exactly the same on #2. I never thought twice about reading a series that was still being written until A Song of Ice and Fire. I can't believe it's been a decade since the last book. 4y
5feet.of.fury GRRM saying he wished he‘d stayed ahead of writing the books before the show got past where he was is hilarious and infuriating. Write the booksssss. 4y
BookmarkTavern Star Trek absolutely counts! And I listen to my sister complain about GRRM at least once a week. 😂 Thanks for sharing! 4y

1. Tagged!! I love Green's Nightside series.
2. I want lots of action, weird creatures and a little behind the scenes history of the world.
3. I'd like some asian flavored urban fantasy, like Tokyo, Hong Kong, Manila or Bangkok.

BookmarkTavern Oh Hong Kong would be amazing! Thank you for sharing! 4y
wanderinglynn An Asia UF setting would be awesome! With much Asian mythology to draw upon, I think it would be an amazing story. 4y

I'd like to visit the Nightside, from Simon R. Green's series by the same name. It looks dark and dangerous, where every temptation is available, every vice satisfied, and every fantasy fulfilled. If you're willing to pay the price....

GondorGirl Oo- i'm not familiar with that one! Sounds mesmerizing! 6y
RamsFan1963 @GondorGirl My favorite author and one of his best series. It's always 3am in the Nightside, so it's always spooky and weird, full of demons, ghosts, elves (you can't trust them), time travelers (including a certain bowtied individual), witches and other things that go bump in the night. 6y

Interesting story world, but the secondary characters weren't developped enough and a lot of questions were left unanswered.

Loved it! Quick read, sly humor. Perfect blend of horror, fantasy, and mystery.

Just finished this. I'm going to count it as #screamathon reading because it did have a couple spooky elements to it. HOWEVER, I can't go on without saying that I kind of seriously hated it. It was loaned to me by a friend, so maybe I'm missing a few contextual clues from a series, but this was just awful. The editing was horrible. The idea for the world seems cool, just not executed well. It was a slog to finish at only 230pages!🤦🏻‍♀️

You know, adjectives are suppose to actually mean something. What the heck is a corrupt perfume?? This book, man. It's so full of itself.

Re-reading the Nightside series. I love the characters & the Nightside world Simon R. Green created. It's frightening, dangerous, & yet so alluring to the point where if it ever exists in real life I might visit it, against my better judgement.

I also love how the series turned out to be very different from how I imagined it after reading the 1st book.

Joe101214 The nightside series is amazing. I've read the whole series at least 10 times 8y
Kino83 Cool! I agree, it is amazing. I think one of the many reasons I came to love this series is the fact that I knew nothing about it when I first picked it up. So when I started reading it, everything was new & fresh for me. I'm now on book 4, have been listening to the audio books of this series and the narrator's voice, to me, sounds like I imagined John Taylor. Amazing. 8y
