World War Z An Oral History of the Zombie War
by
Max Brooks
Larry
, October 20, 2006
You may not care about zombies, but this isn't your typical zombie tome. Told as a series of interviews, this "oral history" of the zombie was is entertaining and erudite. Mr. Brooks cleverly works in historical references that add credibility to this history. I was very impressed by his ability to create a separate voice for each of his interviewees.

Out
by
Natsuo Kirino
Larry
, August 31, 2006
A well written, multi-layered mystery set in Tokyo. The well plotted story does a great job of bringing peripheral characters to the fore, only to push them back as new ones begin to play a central role. Very entertaining. Nominated for the Edgar Award.

Already Dead
by
Huston, Charlie
Larry
, August 31, 2006
An exciting, fast paced, and violent take on vampire lore. In modern day New York, tribes of vampires have laid claim to areas of Manhattan that they rule in secret. Though not Huston's best book still very entertaining for those that like the genre.
