Greetings, so I just finished Gone South...I thought it was okay. I've also read Boy's Life (I wasn't too crazy about it) and Blue World, which I really enjoyed. Can anybody recommend a great McCammon book? Since I love post-apocalyptic stories, I was thinking of reading Swan Song next. They Thirst sounds good, too.

Definitely read Swan Song.  I've been a McCammon from the beginning and Swan Song is my probably my favorite.  You won't be disappointed with They Thirst either, btw.

Did he write something called sting?  It was quite a while ago and I think it was a monster type story, but I remember really enjoying it.

Swan Song is excellent! Ive read three or four of his books after reading that one.None of his others have measured up to Swan Song but I like him as a n author.

My favorite Robert McCammon book has to be, The Wolf's Hour.  But, They Thirst is also very good.
