Bookish: OTHER REALMS (2#) -

Stephen King delivers a book of short stories at NPR's Book Section. Lizzie Skurnick gives some descriptions of the tales, and you can read an excerpt of Just After Sunset there.

If it rains this weekend or if you're planning some quiet time regardless of the weather, note that the new Dec/Jan issue of Book Forum has been posted online.

From a quick glance, contents include:

A review of a dystopian thriller called Noir by Olivier Paulvert, which takes place in France some years in the future, written by Lee Rourke.

And a review of The Elfish Gene by Mark Barrowcliffe, which is a memoir of the author's youth, playing Dungeons & Dragons, written by Paul La Farge.

You should be able to find something interesting there.
