Bloody Murder in the Garden with Sisters, Devils, and Shadows of the Sun and Moon

What the staff is reading this week:

Alan: "BLOOD AND BONE by Ian C. Esselmont.  In addition to being a great story, it's also a coda of sorts to Steven Erickson's THE CRIPPLED GOD and is also a great accompaniment to Steve's recent FORGE OF DARKNESS.  I'm still pleased and surprised by the richness of the world that the two of them have created.  Individually their books stand on their own but when you combine them the sum is much greater than the parts."

Cary: "An advance copy of SHADOWS OF THE NEW SUN - STORIES IN HONOR OF GENE
WOLFE edited by J.E. Mooney and Bill Fawcett."
