I'll have to correct that as well. I can't remember if I read Sedia's <I>The Secret History of Moscow</I> just before or just after the New Year's; I did buy it in 2007, so that's why I didn't include her on the list. Joyce, Živković, Goss, and Pratt are also excellent writers whose first fictions I read in previous years. Will have to investigate the others!Larry Nolenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001420558511460998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-83849294522657078972008-11-27T22:08:00.000-06:002008-11-27T22:08:00.000-06:00John GrantRob RogersZoran ZivkovicAdrienne KressBr...John Grant<BR/>Rob Rogers<BR/>Zoran Zivkovic<BR/>Adrienne Kress<BR/>Brian Evenson<BR/>Christopher Golden<BR/>Graham Joyce<BR/>Ekaterina Sedia<BR/>Joe Hill<BR/>Laird Barron<BR/>Paolo Bacigalupi<BR/>Paul Tremblay<BR/>Robert Freeman Wexler<BR/>Theodora Goss<BR/>Tim Pratt<BR/>Darrel SchweitzerCharleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02773038335190893557noreply@blogger.com
