I've fallen way behind on all the literary news and have mostly devoted myself to playing Batman: Arkham City and reading Kevin Brockmeier's The Brief History of the Dead (recommended) and David Morrell's Creepers (not recommended). But Halloween's almost here and I just realized Granta's Horror has been available for several weeks. I might pick it up. In the meantime, for some Halloween fun, take a look at Robert Coover's "Vampire."
