So here's a few things I picked up last month:
Gentleman Junkie by Harlan Ellison, Poison Sleep by T. A. Pratt, Blue War by Jeffrey Thomas, The Magician and the Fool by Barth Anderson, Sybil's Garage #5, Apex Digest 12, and Unwelcome Bodies by Jennifer Pelland.Some very good stuff in here. I'm going to start the Pratt series soon; I keep hearing good things about it. And I'm always excited to see new fiction from Barth Anderson.
I had gone into the store looking for Jeffrey Thomas' Deadstock, and then realized that was the previous book and Blue War was the only thing on the shelf. I'll have to order a copy.
I was going to get the Ellison from the library, but was having trouble finding a place that had it. Rather than go through OCLC on interlibrary loan, I picked up an inexpensive copy via ABE Books.
The Pelland book ha a reprint of her story from EV #11 "The Last Bus." I've enjoyed her short fiction--"Sashenka Redux" is appearing in EV #14--and I'm intrigued to read her collection.
It's always a good day when you get a little Sybil, and I get a huge shout out from Mr. Kressel in it (plus an ad!).
And finally, I decided to see what Apex Digest is all about. I haven't read anything yet, but it looks good. Certainly some very good names in it.

Of course, you would pick up the issue of Apex that has part 4 of 4 of Geoffrey Girard's epic story!
Uh--why do you do this, anyway?
Just asking.
@Jennifer well, the Apex thing is a subscription so this is my first issue.
@Marguerite I had thought some people might be interested to know what I'm reading/acquiring/etc. but perhaps I'm wrong.
Deadstock is available as free download from the publisher of Blue War. They're giving it away as pdf to promote Blue War.
@Jonathan Cool! I still want to get it in my grubby little hands though....
