Star Trek: The Next Generation - Planet X by Michael Jan Friedman

I read so many Star Trek books back in the 90's that I really don't know if I had read this one before or not. Maybe? This time the Enterprise has an adventure with the X-Men somehow.

Horror Book # 36 - Ghost Story by Peter Straub

 

Why am I still posting these? Anyway, I enjoyed Ghost Story. A-

Book # 103 & Horror Book # 45 The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
