[nesfa-reading-group] Three Body Problem

[M M]

I have a few suggestions of my own. First is one of my favorites, a short novel from Roger Zelazny entitled Jack of Shadows. 

Next, I'd be interested in reading a Jim Butcher novel from his Dresden Files series. Both fine choices to celebrate the most spooky of months, October. I'd also like to include a short story by Neil Gaiman, "October In The Chair".

Wait, does not any Laundry novel necessarily involve spooks?

Did not Stormbringer drink a lot of souls?
That seems pretty spooky to me.

I found the Great Pumpkin rather spooky.
While Snoopy's Red Baron episodes might be considered
slipstream fiction, I am not aware of any science fiction
or fantasy specific strips.

However, I will also offer some October suggestions
even though I have not read any of the following --

 Tim Powers _Medusa' Web_
 Nick Mamatas _I Am Providence_
 Alan Moore _Providence_  (cartoon)
 Tim Powers _Hide Me Among the Graves_
