Really hit the ground running. Or whatever the equivalent in space would be. Hit the space sliding? Hit the stars spinning? I give up.

Some vampires are scary, some are sparkly, but they usually all hate the sun. Usually. In Lindz McLeod's erotic horror novella "Sunbathers," the undead love the sun; it's us humans who are nocturnal. To find out more about this sexy and scary story, check out this exclusive interview.

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.

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.

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.

So, I had some rather inappropriate thoughts about "Star Wars Outlaws."

(Inappropriate for a review, that is. Like, how I wish it was other kinds of games.)

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,
