The Long Ships
by Michael Chabon Michael Meyer Frans G. BengtssonFrans Gunnar Bengtsson's The Long Ships resurrects the fantastic world of the tenth century AD when the Vikings roamed and rampaged from the northern fastnesses of Scandinavia down to the Mediterranean. Bengtsson's hero, Red Orm--canny, courageous, and above all lucky--is only a boy when he is abducted from his Danish home by the Vikings and made to take this place at the oars of their dragon-prowed ships. Orm is then captured by the Moors in Spain, where he is initiated into the pleasures of the senses and fights for the Caliph of Cordova. Escaping from captivity, Orm washes up in Ireland, where he marvels at those epicene creatures, the Christian monks, and from which he then moves on to play an ever more important part in the intrigues of the various Scandinavian kings and clans and dependencies. Eventually, Orm contributes to the Viking defeat of the army of the king of England and returns home an off-the-cuff Christian and a very rich man, though back on his native turf new trials and tribulations will test his cunning and determination. Packed with pitched battles and blood feuds and told throughout with wit and high spirits, Bengtsson's book is a splendid adventure that features one of the most unexpectedly winning heroes in modern fiction.

Long-time Listener, First-time Werewolf (Kitty Norville Omnibus)
by Carrie VaughnDJ Kitty Norville never much liked doing the nightshift at K-NOB, Denver's alternative radio station--that is, until the attack that made her a werewolf. Now her habits have become decidedly more nocturnal, not to mention reckless. One night, in a fit of boredom, she ditches the station's dull '90s format in favor of posing a question to her listeners: Do you believe in vampires? The startling answer: Yes. Suddenly calls from anguished, alienated, self-proclaimed vampires, werewolves and witches begin pouring in, with Kitty dispensing on-air advice with unexpected aplomb. And all at once The Midnight Hour--late-night radio's scariest, most surreal talk show--is born. But not everyone's thrilled with Kitty's newfound success. Carl, the alpha-male leader of Kitty's werewolf pack, takes her on-air bravado as a challenge to his authority. And Arturo, head of Denver's vampire families, is terrified she may let loose some privileged information that will be fatal to his kin. Either way, both honchos want her to quit. Then a deranged bounty hunter specializing in lycanthropes threatens to kill her on-air, forcing her to take werewolf form right in the studio ... causing the most privileged information of all to go public: her own secret identity. Ahh, but it'll take more than coming out as a werewolf to keep Kitty Norville sidelined. And here are her first three otherworldly adventures: In addition to Kitty and The Midnight Hour, Kitty Goes to Washington, where she is invited to testify at a Senate hearing on behalf of all supernaturals ... by a paranoid, Bible-thumping senator determined to expose her as a monster; and Kitty Takes a Holiday, but her longed-for Colorado vacation gets cut short when nearby livestock turn up mutilated ... with evidence of black magic afoot.
The Long Tomorrow
by Leigh BrackettThe Long Tomorrow is a 223 page science fiction novel written by the well regarded early fantasy writer Leigh Brackett and first published in 1955. The cover descriptions by Ace Books read as follows: Len Colter lived in a rural village two generations after The Destruction. The Destruction had been directed against the cities, and now cities were strictly prohibited. The Destruction had grown out of science. , Therefore science was also banned. But that which is prohibited is always tempting, and Len Colter was fascinated by rumors of a place where scientists still worked in secret. When he finally came across a radio box that worked, he was tainted forever . . . This is a different kind of science-fiction novel, with action and suspense that ranks with the best, yet written with a fine skill and insight that give it added depth and meaning in today's world. "You may think you are tired of prophecies of the decay of civilization after a destructive A-war; but let me assure you that Leigh Brackett has taken this subject and made it sparkling fresh by the warmth and perception of her writing. Miss Brackett's previous books have been sheer romantic space operas (which no one does better); but here she has created science-fiction to compare with serious mainstream literature." -H. H. Holmes New York Herald-Tribune "BY FAR LEIGH BRACKETT'S BEST NOVEL TO DATE AND COMES AWFULLY CLOSE TO BEING A GREAT WORK OF SCIENCE-FICTION. " "FANTASY AT ITS BEST." -Library Journal
The Long Tomorrow (S.F. MASTERWORKS)

The Long Trial of Nolan Dugatti
by Stephen Graham Jones&“This strange, subtle story of father-son disaffection and disjointed love is told with [Jones&’s] signature narrative inventiveness and dark humor.&” —Kris Saknussemm, author of Private Midnight If drinking mercury from a thermometer didn&’t kill him, maybe spray painting in an unventilated garage would. Or so Nolan&’s father thought. One inspired yet failed suicide attempt after another, each with a note to his son—with only a hint of accusation. But as Nolan sits in an empty office building, the last customer service employee for a nearly obsolete video game, those many suicide notes come back to haunt him. As do the levels of the game that no one plays anymore. And now a homicide detective is on the phone. Maybe his father was right when he wrote that he was teaching Nolan not to give up, that the only way to understand what happened was to make it to the end of the game. But there&’s no cheatcode that&’s going to get Nolan through this . . . &“Two unreliable narrators, a bunch of suicide letters, and a plot that collapses on itself just like the characters do—Stephen Graham Jones is our contemporary Jorge Luis Borges.&” —Michael Kimball, author of Big Ray &“Like Lethem and Murakami before him, Jones mines his genre fiction past to bring us a work of startling literary merit. Mystery, horror, sci-fi: the ingredients are all in there.&” —David Goodwillie, author of Kings County &“[A] stark exploration of guilt, grief, and fear. . . . And did I mention that it&’s funny? Unplug your consoles, kids, and play this book.&” —Zack Wentz, author of The Garbageman and the Prostitute
