10:07 am [xjenavivex]	Destination Future Reviewed Destination Future is a strong, entertaining 300+ page anthology. It whisks us away as we read, has us fighting for our lives, longing for love and a place to belong, communicating with rainbows, and exploring even our own human experience with a different perspective. If you are a fan of hard science fiction, you are well-covered. If you are not, like me, so well versed in science fiction, you will find plenty here to enjoy just the same. It is a beautiful, at times tragic, often thrilling, and even uplifting anthology. You can read my complete review on my LJ here: http://xjenavivex.livejournal.com/595922.html (Comment on this)

2:25 pm [norilana]	Northanger Abbey and Angels and Dragons - IS HERE! It's here, at last! A hilarious "comedy of wonders and manners!" This stylish and clever parody of the Austen classic Northanger Abbey, comes complete with "scholarly" Footnotes that harangue the reader, amazing Appendices, back cover fake blurbs by Regency ladies and gentlemen, illustrations (by the author), a genuine romantic sub-plot that expands upon Jane Austen's original story... and of course the angels and the dragons! Oh, and there are demons, ghosts, nephilim, hidden treasure, secret clues, and an unspeakable monstrosity known only as the Brighton Duck! Northanger Abbey and Angels and Dragons by Jane Austen and Vera Nazarian More details over at norilanabooks... (Comment on this)

11:26 am [marlowe1]	Honeymoon of the Dead So lyda222 is one of the contributors to She Nailed a Stake Through His Head. Always good to promote the writers in one anthology and raise their popularity. So this week's promotion is Honeymoon of the Dead which she wrote under her pseudonym but it's still her. Well obviously. I mean that's a stupid thing to say. Cross-posted to book_pimp, of course. What I'm asking you to do: 1. Click on the above links. 2. Add Tags. May I suggest "teddy bear cannibal massacre" or "infovest21"? 3. Once you are at that link, hit the helpful or not helpful buttons for the reviews. 4. Hit those lists and guides and click on a few of those links. 5. Write your own List and include this book. Examples. 6. If you've read the book, write a review - both on your blog or on Amazon. 7. If you're interested in buying the book, buy it. 8. Go to Amazon and independently search for the book. 9. Copy this post into your own livejournal. As usual this is the Wednesday Book Promotion. Help out as much as you can. Especially if I put your book up for Wednesday Book Promotion in the past.

9:57 pm [marlowe1]	She Nailed a Stake Through His Head: Tales of Biblical Terror review She Nailed a Stake Through His Head: Tales of Biblical Terror Edited by Tim Lieder, Dybbuk (www.dybbuk-press.com), $12.75 trade paper (144p) ISBN 978-0-9766546-7-4 This darkly fascinating anthology of nine stories shows humans trembling in the presence of mighty, unknowable powers and their predatory servants. In Gerri Leen's "Whither Thou Goest," Ruth is revealed to be a psychic leech, giving freshly disturbing meaning to her touching vow never to leave her aged mother-in-law. Jesus' exhortation to drink His blood is taken literally by a congregation of vampires in D.K. Thompson's "Last Respects." A modern Daniel finds that his gift of prophecy can serve the greedy gods of a multinational security corporation in Daniel Kayson's "Babylon's Burning," and Stephen M. Wilson's "Swallowed!" puts a Lovecraftian spin on the tale of Jonah and the whale. Brief but potent, these stories are recommended for readers with very strong nerves. (Nov.) It's a starred review too (2 Comments |Comment on this)
