A couple more Early Reviewers books:
The Boughs Withered by Maura McHugh
A short story collection by an Irish writer. I hesitate to classify these as urban fantasy, but they are reminiscent of Charles de Lint's Newford stories, but darker in tone, and shading on horror. An anthology to be read slowly rather than gulped down.
Recommended
Chivalry by Gavin G Smith
A novella set either in a fantasy world or in a post-apocalyptic future (I was unsure which). A knight of the Iron Kingdom discovers the brutal realities of war against the Harlanian Empire. Very grimdark, verging on schlock horror.
Not really to my taste, but others may like it.
Nearly caught up now, but annoyingly there's 3 potential freebies up this month. As I really want one (the Marie Brennan), it means I have to make a choice between the other two. (You can request all you want, but you'll get at most 2.)
