This is the second book in the Nightside series. This was also a very good book.. It was a quick read and many of the cool charaters from the first book made appearances in this book.

This book was recommended to me by a friend and what a good recommendation it was. The book was a mix of 1950's private eye meets twilight zone.

I just finished Accelerando (ISBN: 0-441-01415-1) by Charles Stross. This book is very heavy sci-fi. If you don't know what a Matrioshka doll is, you will loose a lot of the heady deep thinking in this book.

My friend Mike let me borrow his copy of this book. It was an older version (1970s?). I read this book very slowly. It has a wonderful concept (the writer of the story is in the story as it is being written). It was a rather tedious read. I would not read this book again.
