This week on Kaiju & Gnome, Ed and I are listing our picks for the Hugos Best Novel this year (he's a member, I'm not).
My picks: tinyurl.com/4uv99xwv
Ed's picks: tinyurl.com/yc3hst7c
Weirdly, there is no crossover in our picks. That means we have ourselves a Classic Ed/Jordan battle.

Today on Kaiju & Gnome (on time this week!): I continue my Shortest Shortcut to Spooky column & I read another short story from John Connolly's Nocturnes, The Ritual of the Bones. I use the word "facehugger" a lot. Like as much a review of an Alien movie.
