I did recently get my hands on some books which were on my “to buy” list

bought in stores - either amazon, or cold tonnage books, or asda…

Alan Campbell, Scar Night (Bantam Spectra Jan 2007)- from Locus: “ A dark and spectacular city built on a network of chains over a bottomless abyss provides the focus for this gothic fantasy which features priests, assassins, and a psychotic angel. This debut fantasy novel from a former video game designer, the first volume of the Deepgate Codex, made a splash in Britain last year; originally published by Tor UK.”

Charles de Lindt Forests of the Heart

“The Execution Channel”, Ken MacLeod

Stephen King, Lisey’s Story (Simon & Schuster/Scribner Oct 2006)- from Locus: “A writer’s widow sorts through his documents and finds herself reliving her marriage, even as she uncovers the supernatural inspiration for his horror. ‘‘One of King’s most personal and ambitious novels to date….There are monsters…and supernatural powers, but ultimately King is trying to describe something even more strange and mysterious: the inner world of a long, successful marriage.’”
