Hmm.... book trailers. That's new to me.

The trailer looked okay, I guess. I expect the book to be better.

I enjoyed it a great deal [Advance Reader copies FTW]. Evil seems to be pimping this book every chance he gets.

I won't spoil anything. I'll just say it's the first book I've read in a long time that really creeped me out.

Wow. This is a great example of why Guillermo Del Toro is my kind of nerd. I can't wait to read it!

Wow, I hadn't heard about this. Thanks for posting it, I'll definitely pick this up when it's out.
