I read Strnad's The Risen Short Stories, the free collection from Smashwords, and it was excellent, so I went ahead and bought Risen (the novel). I hope it wins. Judging from the short stories, this would be a really fun book to read.

THANKS to those who nominated Risen!
I'd like to point out that Inkmesh is a little behind the curve. Risen is $2.99 at both Amazon and Smashwords. The price change will filter down to B&N, Sony and Kobobooks eventually, though probably not in time for the Book Club. |

"Darkly Dreaming Dexter" is not a horror novel.

If three people consider it to be one, then that's probably sufficient; "genre" definitions are, at the end of the day, a matter of personal opinion, not set in stone.

Sorry.
I was using the bookstore, library and editor of "The Year's Best Horror Stories" definition. |
