Been on my "to be read" list for years. Not sure why. Read him in "The New Yorker" maybe? Either way, glad it was; the first story was really good.

This was a very strong collection of . Need to read her other ones soon.

While author John Ringo may have started the "Black Tide Rising" series, he's often handed the reins of these horror / zombie stories to other writers. Writers such as Jason Cordova, who here talks about his new installment, "Mountain Of Fire."

Bought this because "Book 2" has "Aliens," and I love "Aliens," but this is really engaging and exciting so far.

This super good multiverse / miniverse / time dilation story crushed my heart. My cold, dead heart. And my brain. My loving brain.

Let's be honest: kids can be creepy. And kids who expose people's secrets, and on Halloween ... well, that's super creepy. And a super creepy part of Christoper Golden's horror / suburban drama novel "All Hallows." To learn its secrets (like whether you'd want to read it), check out this exclusive Q&A.

Am totally gripped by this really clever, but also really personal (and thus really painful) version of a multiverse / miniverse story.

Loved her first English language novel, "How To Behave In A Crowd," and this seems like it's going to be equally as unique and offbeat and compelling,

This was a super good collection of narrative ; gonna add his other books to my TBR pile ASAP.

Gonna tell my kids this was Led Zeppelin BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO LIE TO MY KIDS LIKE A MONSTER.
