Last month's thread is HERE.

The usual message here - this thread is where you tell us about what you've been reading in Science Fiction this month.

Remember, good or bad, we still want to know what you think.

As it is October, I'll also remind you that we're doing our usual Countdown to Halloween, with reviews and ideas related towards Halloween until the end of the month. Feel free to join in!
