PC Cast has posted the first chapter for the next House of Night novel, Tempted, which releases October 27th.

Suvudu has posted another original short story and this time it’s by Kelley Armstrong.  Recruit is set just before the events of Frostbitten (which releases today) and gives the background on the investigation that takes Elena and Clay to Alaska.  You can read Recruit via the internet here or download a pdf copy here.

There has been an excerpt posted for JR Ward’s next BDB novel, Lover’s Mine.  Sorta.  There was one posted on her Warden forum, but for those who are not members, you can also find it at GoodReads.  it’s message #163 and it’s not terrible long, but it’s different that what showed up in the back of Covet.

It’s that time of the month and that means I’ll be taking the next couple of days off from news so I can get the Escapist Newsletter put together.  I’m aiming to have it up on Thursday, but I may wait until Friday so it’ll be the last post of the week.  Not sure yet, but it’ll probably depend on what I find.  Until then, make sure you head over to SciFiGuy who has his October new releases list up already.

The Horror Yearbook has posted the new movie posters for New Moon. What do you think?
