Bad Seeds: Evil Progeny - Peter Straub,Michael Marshall Smith,Holly Black,Joe R. Lansdale,Steve Berman,Stephen King
American Elsewhere - Robert Jackson Bennett

11. Handsome Devil by Steve Berman.   I bought this because it was on a four books for twenty dollar table, plus I love, love, love Steve Berman.   Then I realized that Theodora Goss - who had a lovely reading - was at Readercon, and signage. 

 

12. Fearful Symmetries edited by Ellen Datlow.  Signed by both Datlow and Gemma Files.   Double yay!

 

13. The Dark edited by Ellen Datlow.   Signed by Datlow. 

 

14. Teeth edited by Ellen Datlow.   Signed by Datlow. 

 

15. Dying is My Business by Nicholas Kaufmann.   Signed by the author.   I also have a version where the printer printed 25 pages of a cozy mystery in the middle of the book.  I got this signed as a curiosity, plus Kaufmann has a PDF of the pages on his site.   He told the story in his Kaffeklatsch.   So fun!

The story was better hearing it in person and getting to ask what book it was from.  It's bizarre.   Different font and type size and different chapter headings.   There are ads for the author's other book, then Kaufmann's book continues.   I'm actually really eager to suddenly go from dark fantasy to... Cornwall.   Kaufmann said he'd hoped there would be discussions about how he was doing something with narrative, but, nope...

 

16. Butcher Road by Lee Thomas.   Kaufmann introduced me.   Yay!   Got this signed.   And Thomas wasn't at the con that long.   And I got to see his chest.   Yeah, strip show, guys, strip show.   Kinda.   In public.   It was amazing!

 

17. Superheroes edited by Rich Horton.   Signed by Leah Bobet.   I love Leah, and have since I met her at an earlier Readercon.   Even if you're not into her genres, if you ever see her at a con, say hi.   She's just super-sweet and super-funny. 

 

18. Bad Seeds edited by Steve Berman.   Because I love Berman.   Also, Files.   Gemma signed this for me, as well. 

 

19. American Elsewhere by Robert Jackson Bennett.   Bennett is amazing, as is his agent. They were both very kind about the misprinting, and his agent is going to try to get me a pristine, signed, copy.   If it doesn't work out, as I told her, so long as I can read that part in the Kindle sample, I am happy!  I did e-mail her with a reminder of the printing issue, just in case any others have it, with the faulty printed page number.  Whatever happens happens.   I can still read this, skimmed through the rest - it's six hundred, close to seven hundred pages - and it looks like this might be the only blip.   Anyway, I wasn't going to mention it, but people said they'd want to know, and they did.   They were, as I said, very gracious.   And this book is amazingly compulsive.   Addictive, even.   It's always nice when awesome writers turn out to be awesome people, too!

 

20. The Magician King by Lev Grossman.   This is a weird category.   Signed with a happy birthday message for a friend.   Bought it a year ago, got it signed this year.  Unfortunately, he had an emergency last year, and had to cancel!   Still, he was pleased to hear that I'd held onto the book for a year, and thrilled that my friend was such a huge fan!

Minions of the Moon
Minions of the Moon - Richard Bowes Very enjoyable. Although, it was tough for me to follow all of the jumps back and forth through time. It didn't seem to me as if these transitions were handled smoothly enough.

From the Files of the Time Rangers - Richard Bowes,Kage Baker The author describes this work as a "mosaic novel". It's lots of pieces of stories mixed together to form some kind of whole. Sometimes this works, but this time - not so much. It may have been my faulty attention span, but I lost track of everyone and couldn't figure out what was supposed to be going on. I got irritated by the whole thing by about 1/2 way through, but soldiered on to the end. Oh yeah, it was about gods and the mortals working for them (I think) trying to change timelines to avoid a disastrous future, or at least make sure their timeline didn't go that way.
