• Gardner Dozois, editor, Best Science Fiction Stories of the Year, Seventh Annual Collection.  SF anthology with seven stories from 1977.  This is not one of the doorstopper editions of the Year's Best that Dozois has been editing since 1984; rather, it is a continuation of the series started by Lester del Rey of which Dozois edited numbers 6 through 10.
• Eric Flint, editor, Ring of Fire.  Alt history anthology of sequels to Flint's 1632.  Fourteen stories and a short novel.

• Brian Freemantle, See Charlie Run.  Spy novel featuring Charlie Muffin.
• Gary Gerani, Top 100 Horror Movies.  A countdown, ranking what this jamook thinks are the top 100 horror flicks.  Number one?  1958's Horror of Dracula with Christopher Lee in the title role.  Todd Browning's Dracula came in at number fifteen!?!  Sheesh!  A brief glimpse through the book shows that nobody gave a damn about its production:  copy describing  House of Dark Shadows (number one hundred) is printed instead of the correct copy on a number of the films listed.  HODS copy is also used to caption photos from many other movies.  Double sheesh!  A total crap job throughout.  Thanks to Dawn, though, who saw it at a library sale and thought of me.
