Finished Limbus, Inc. last night, right before starting my sleep study. It's a neat shared-world anthology, five novellas wrapped together with a four-part framing sequence.

The idea is that Limbus is a company that shows up to recruit just the right person for just the right job - but the fine print's a doozy. I liked it enough that I'm looking forward to Volume 2, which is due out next month - even though two of the five stories used the same major plot device (Find The Missing Girl), they were very different in execution; it didn't feel like a rehash at all. If you like Twilight Zone-style horror, it's well worth a shot.

I'm now starting Chicks in Capes, an illustrated anthology (not graphic novel) about female superheroes. The first story struck me as rather mediocre, but I'm hoping the rest are better. I picked this one up after meeting one of the authors in May, so I collected her e-autograph on my iPad and spliced it in next to her story. Always a neat trick...
