Also out today:

Link: A quiet couple of days does include Jonathan Lethem's 1995 novel Amnesia Moon

Link: Fantasy Literature reviews the recently released audiobook for Kage Baker's The House of the Stag
From the article: “Too little of Kage Baker’s work has been produced on audio, so when I saw that Audible Frontiers had recently released The House of the Stag, I snatched it up.
