Just finished reading Gothic! 10 Original Dark Tales, edited by Deborah Noyes. It's 10 creepy short stories by well-known YA authors (Neil Gaiman, Celia Rees, Garth Nix among them). It was kind of a mixed bag - some I liked a lot, others not so much. It's definitely worth a look if you're in the Halloween mood. We just got a similar new collection, same editor, called The Restless Dead. I'm definately going to check it out (when it's returned!).

Just started 2 new ones: Clay by Marc Almond and Black Swan Green by David Mitchell. They're both set in England & focus on teen boys, but otherwise have very different vibes. Reviews to come...

I'll be going shopping for new Manga & comics in the next couple of days - stay tuned...
