Firefox on the netbook, as it turns out, has this nasty habit of eating windows to the taskbar so that I can no longer access them even though they still exist, taking everything I had open in them until I force quit/reload and maybe get to use the Restore Session function.

In any case, a light dip into the slushpile today as I've got 15 minutes.

Today's not-quite-sfnal not-really-backlist treat is a horror novel by multiple award nominee/winner, whose other books I've bought at Fictionwise (okay, only one of them, but it said it was a British Fantasy Award finalist or somesuch).

Berserk by Bram Stoker & British Fantasy Award-winner Tim Lebbon (ISFDB, Wikipedia) was originally small-pressed by Necessary Evil in 2005 and picked up by Dorchester/Leisure in 2006, now republished courtesy of Books of the Dead Press which is run by a Canadian, IIRC.

Description
From New York Times Bestselling author Tim Lebbon, comes BERSERK!

The army had said it was a training accident. But why had the coffin they sent home been sealed? On a dark night, in a deserted field, Tom begins to unearth the mass grave where he hopes - and fears - that he will find his son's remains. He finds instead madness: corpses in chains and dead bodies that still move and grasp and clutch. And one little girl, dead and rotting, who promises to help Tom find what he's looking for, if only he will free her.

Preliminaries for the rest of what I spotted before the browser lockup/crash. I'm not looking further right now, as I have 5 minutes left:

Brian John offers the 1st in his 2006 Greencroft (apparently a division of Corgi) literary fiction drama which quotes blurb praise from UK newspapers: On Angel Mountain (The Angel Mountain Saga)

Onyx-published Jeff Shelby offers a collection of shorts involving his published detective characters: Out of Time

Shirley Kennedy offers a 2001-Signet historical romance: Lady Flora's Fantasy and a 1997-Fawcett published one: Lady Semple's Secret

Zebra-published Doreen Owens Malek returns with a romantic suspense she say was first printed in 1985: Devil's Deception

Ken McClure returns with a 1993 Simon & Schuster medical thriller: Crisis

Award-winning South African expat playwright Ian Fraser returns with some kind of fantasy-esque speculative quirky literary fiction experimental novel he says is Umberto Eco-like: Arabella Abides

Previously-included Scott William Carter, who has a YA novel from the Big 6 which I'm not going to look up again, offers a set of four quirky shorts: Strange Romance

This looks educational, and it's Relevant To My Interests. No idea how good it actually is, but the blurb does make it sound like someone who knows what they're doing spent time doing it: Minoan Linear A: The Clay Tablets of Hagia Triada

Backlist repeats from John Matthews, J. Carson Black, fellow MR member author Alexandra Solokoff, Iain Rowan via Infinity Plus. Established author repeats from Simon Worrall, Robert W. Walker. Repeats from small-pressed/newbie-with-promising-manuscript-award-finalists Theresa/T.R. Ragan, Roseanne McDowell, Alex Carrick.

Happy reading, if indeed you manage to spot something you think you might like.
