[...] DIVIDING UP YOUR ‘TRANSGRESSIONS’ While we’re on the subject of last year’s best, the Ed McBain-edited anthology TRANSGRESSIONS – our year-end pick for one of 2005’s three best books – is coming out in paperback. Or make that four paperbacks. Rather than issue the 10-novella collection in a sure-to-bust-its-spine edition, Forge has chosen to package two to three of the crime tales together in a series of mass-market paperbacks. Thus, VOL. 1 with Lawrence Block and Jeffery Deaver and VOL. 2 with John Farris and Stephen King are already available. Following in October are VOL. 3 with McBain, Walter Mosley and Donald E. Westlake, and VOL. 4 with Sharyn McCrumb, Joyce Carol Oates and Anne Perry. We wholeheartedly recommend them all. [...]

Fans are asked to memoralize Baen by buying copies of his current anthology THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN and donate them to libraries or teenagers. I’m almost (but not quite) ashamed to admit we’ve only reviewed one Baen Books release here at BOOKGASM – John Ringo’s GHOST – and two months later, we ended up calling it the worst novel of 2005.

Thanks for the tips on BIGFOOT and DOOMED. I enjoyed both, eapecially the David J Schow interview in DOOMED. The trip to the comic book store also got me hip to SHAOLIN COWBOY and DOC FRANKENSTEIN, both of which I has never heard of. DOC was a thrill to say the least. I’ve added several other of your choices to my want list and will keep on checking back to more recommendations!

[...] • TWISTED – As you may have read, we found Jay Bonansinga’s chilling FROZEN to be the best paperback original of the year. TWISTED will continue the strange, supernatural-science investigations of FBI profiler Ulysses Grove, this time involving a hurricane (timely, no?). (Summer) [...]
