This is a good urban fantasy so far. Urban Shaman by C.E. Murphy stands out from other books in the genre. It has Native American folklore mingled with ancient Celtic legends. It creates a cool mix.

Here's your teaser:
"Normal people don't start burning and smoking when you stick a knife in them. The guy who stabbed me this morning was definitely not normal." (page 105)

Here's another teaser for you for the anthology, Ocean Stories. I have a short horror story in it. One of the authors, Gregory Norris, put together a fantastic post with a little tidbit from each writer. I think it a great way to promote an anthology. Please stop by his blog and check it out!

I've been wanting to read Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith for a while now. The concept is so much fun, but it's dry reading so far. It's basically about what you think it's about: Abraham Lincoln killing vampires. Everything's a vampire conspiracy in this book. I think this is one case where the movie will be better than the book.

Here's your teaser:
There was talk of shadowy madmen. Of foreign spies.
There was even talk of vampires. (page 23)
