Move Under Ground by Nick Mamatas, published by Night Shade Books:
Forged partially at the Strange Horizons writers workshop in 2002, here's what people are saying about the Lovecraftian Beat road novel Move Under Ground:
"It's Kerouac vs. Cthulhu as the most human of writers tangles with the most inhuman horror. Move Under Ground is a wild, weird ride, and Nick Mamatas shows awesome chops as well as some sad and funky soul." -- Stewart O'Nan, author of The Night Country and A Prayer for the Dying.
"An intense, inspired crossbred bastard homage-cum-critique-cum-vision." -- China Mieville, author of The Scar and Iron Council.
(donated by Nick Mamatas)

A Taste of Serendib, a Sri Lankan cookbook by Mary Anne Mohanraj: Our now-deposed once-Fearless Leader recently came out with a tiny yet charming little cookbook (illustrated by Strange Horizons author/artist Rachel Hartman) with recipes mostly from her native land of Sri Lanka (along with a few she made up herself).

Two erotic choose-your-own-adventures: Kathryn in the City and The Classics Professor. In the first, a young woman from Indiana dumps her boring fiance and moves to San Francisco -- there to encounter a plethora of choices, from threesomes to dyke encounters to S/M to even the possibility of true love. You, the reader, decides which paths she takes -- or, if you're the kind of person who hates missing anything, you can always take them all! :-) In the second a lonely guy, a man who just moved to New York to take his first job in a Classics department at a university which is emphatically not Columbia -- there to be seduced by an attractively dangerous Classics professor. She tries, anyway; it's up to you whether she succeeds, or whether he hooks up with a cute co-ed instead. . . .

Younguncle Comes to Town, an illustrated children's book published by Zubaan Press in India, not yet commercially available in the US or UK. "From the moment Younguncle appears with his teacup full of rain, I was enchanted. And as long as I could follow him through his marvelous world to meet the formidable baby who eats shirts, the monkey who reads upside down, the tiger who adores spinach paneer, and all the other extraordinary ordinary people there, I was perfectly happy. I think anyone who reads this book will be perfectly happy too." --Ursula K. Le Guin
