I just finished The Cadaver of Gideon Wyck by Alexander Laing. It's a pretty good 30s horror mystery story with a little SF thrown in. It's on some best horror lists and I enjoyed it even if it went on too long.
Next up is Alastair Reynold's new book Revenger which is set millions of years into the future. Reviews have described it as "Pirates of the Caribbean meets Firefly" and "TREASURE ISLAND meets MOBY DICK, set in space, with a nice BLADE RUNNER-ish colour palette and a cast of characters worthy of a Terry Gilliam movie", but still with Reynold's brand of hard SF. I haven't read Reynolds before but I think I will enjoy it.
