[Horror/Urban Fantasy] Review: UNCLEAN SPIRITS
A guest review for you, Gentle Readers, while I try to thrash some of my to-do list into submission. This one is again written by Crystal L. Woods, my intern at Mike's Comics, who has done her own time in the bookselling trenches.

And a Happy Book Year...
I'm enjoying the electronic age just a wee bit more these days, as I watch people "live-blogging" and Twittering the ALA Midwinter Conference and its awards ceremonies.
