Thanks for these. Of all of them, I think I will read the first one first and then maybe the Stephen King.

The Daryl Gregory has an intriguing title and unconventionality I think will be fun to see how the horror is treated there.

Stephen King: I have pretty much always figured that he holds a lot of information about things and uses it to his advantage in his writing. The prison rape stuff will be one that holds a certain interest to me. And the writing/magic/danger theme too.
