INCOMING

• Alcott Anderson, The White Stone, a Mystical Novel from Early Ireland.  No description from the back cover blurb except that the book "joins the list of significant works in which a memorable tale imparts a larger meaning."  That, and the fact that the novel is published by a company named Cosmic Connections does not bode well.
• Kingsley Amis, The Alteration.  Alternate history SF.
• C. Dean Andersson, Torture Tomb.  Horror.
• Kelley Armstrong, The Summoning.  YA fantasy, Book One of the Darkest Powers series.
• Isaac Asimov, Martin H. Greenberg, and  Charles G. Waugh, editors, Encounters.  SF anthology with 16 stories.
• Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, Demon in My View.  YA fantasy published when the author was 15.  (She wrote her first published novel when she was 13.  Part of me hates precocious children.)
