Kathryn Adams at PIXELATED GEEK is amazed by THE VERY BEST OF CAITLÍN R. KIERNAN.

There’s literally nothing out there quite like Kiernan’s stories, and
they’re dazzling. I came up from most of these blinking and disoriented
and not at all sure what I’d just read.

On APB-SAL, Trent Walters discusses both the book and movie versions of Joe R. Lansdale’s COLD IN JULY.

The movie has a more visceral motive to launch the boys into
a vigilante story. The protagonist and I had to turn our heads. Still, for the
most part, the narrative and themes are intact. Both are worth checking out.

Andrew Wheeler on his THE ANTICK MUSINGS OF G. B. H. HORNSWOGGLER, GENT is looking forward to David Sandner and Jacob Weisman’s Mingus Fingers.

I’ll lead with the quirkiest thing, since that’s how I roll: Mingus Fingers by
David Sandner and Jacob Weisman, coming from Fairwood Press in
November. It’s a short, small-format book – probably a novellette –
and the speculative element seems to be,um, unique.

On APB-SAL, Trent Walters discusses Jane Yolen‘s HOW TO FRACTURE A FAIRY TALE.

The collection is definitely worth investigating. Maybe you
agree with the present ordering, or maybe you can try it as the book seems to
suggest it wants to be. Either way, turning the page isn’t too hard a chore to
get the book that you want. I, for one, want HOW TO FRACTURE A FAIRY TALE.

Edmonton Public Library recommends Lavie Tidhar’s THE VIOLENT CENTURY.

I
read THE VIOLENT CENTURY after reading a great review of Tidhar’s
CENTRAL STATION and then settling for this earlier book while I waited.
Good thing I did, because THE VIOLENT CENTURY is a very odd, very fresh
take on classic superhero stories. Set mainly during WWII, it’s a dark,
suspenseful, and tragic reflection on heroism, love and friendship. And
it’s weird. A really weird and wonderful book.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY praises David Sandner and Jacob Weisman’s Mingus Fingers.

[T]he odd magic and arresting imagery captures the feel of jazz. What this
offbeat novella lacks in cohesion it makes up for in style.

DEN OF GEEK!’S Autumnal Book Guide: 15 Best Fall 2019 Reads includes Ellen Datlow’s Echoes: The Saga Anthology of Ghost Stories.

Don’t sleep on this anthology—it’s perfect for the fall season.
