I agree with your opinion of Black Hills. Definitely NOT one of Simmons' better works.

bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK. I have two I am willing to try.
Which ones do you have?
I read Muse of Fire last month. It's a novella and if the limited from Subterranean is too expensive for you, you can also find it in the anthology The New Space Opera. It's S.F. but it's also very heavy on Shakespeare. Basically, humanity is enslaved and a group of actors is allowed to travel the system and perform Shakespeare. They end up facing a God and having to perform for him. That's the simplified version.
The Terror is the one that got me back into reading Simmons again. I really enjoyed that book. (Just don't read it in the Winter!)

I'm halfway through listening to Summer of Night. Love it! Much better than Black Hills. I will wait until winter for The Terror, although I'm not sure why. I don't like spoilers, so don't tell me.
I love spoilers, and I looked it up, and I will totally wait until winter

My wife looks up the spoilers for every movie she watches. It drives me crazy. I don't even read the back of the book to get a synopsis. I like going in blind.

That's a sweet deal and as cheap as it will ever get.
OK, I really like Drood. Some of it was hard to follow due to the fact that the narratorSpoiler:through the entire story. I also read that Gueillermo Del Toro might be doing a movie adaptation of this book.
motherfucking Simmons has broken my heart
The Terror

bears have nothing special to say... they have just come here to vent because these feelings can't be contained within one ursine being...
How perfect the structure is:
