The wonderful Colleen Lindsay just reminded me during her Book Country chat that it's our responsibility (all readers) to pay forward and recommend writers/works we've enjoyed.

I just finished a grim yet hilarious story by Jeff Ford that's forthcoming from Jack Dann and Nick Gever's excellent original anthology Ghosts by Gaslight. It's from his Well-Built City trilogy and stars Physiognomist Cley. There are some wonderfully dark stories in the anthology by Laird Barron, Terry Dowling, John Langan, John Harwood, and others. It'll be out in September.

I'd also like to recommend the third volume of Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim novels: Aloha From Hell, which is clever, brutal, vicious, and a helluva a lot of fun. That should be out this fall (the second volume, Kill the Dead is just out in pb).
