I'd vote for Boneshaker (science fiction) and Canticle (fantasy). How about you?

"There never can be a man so lost as one who is lost in the vast and intricate corridors of his own lonely mind, where none may reach and none may save..." – Isaac Asimov, Pebble in the Sky
Well I keep running into interviews with Caitlin R Kiernan here and there for the past two weeks. So I picked up her newest The Red Tree. Talk about one of those authors you forgot. She use to write for The Dreaming comic and blew my mind way back then. I read half of it this afternoon. WOW!
