New Authors You Discovered in 2003

Out of curiosity, what new (or new to you) authors did you try in 2003 and whose work did you enjoy the most?

For me, I've become a China Mieville fan since reading "Perdido Street Station."

Anyone else?

Take care,
John D. Harvey

I thought Stewart O'Nan's The Night Country was the best horror novel of the year, I checked out some of his older stuff. So far, so good.

"Please dont kill me. I dont wont to die. I wont to live. I wont to have my baby, I wont to have my baby." susan said she looked Sharon straight in the eye and said "look, bitch, I dont care about you. I dont care if you are going to have a baby. You better be ready, You're going to die and I dont feel anything about it."
Then susan said "In a few minutes I killed her and she was dead"
After killing sharon susan noticed there was blood on her hand she tasted it. "wow what a trip" she told Virginia. "I thought to taste death, and yet give life."

I like Al Sarrantino--some stories kind of like Ray Bradbury. I've been reading Toybox and really getting into it--a few clunkers but suprisingly good. Children of Cain and Richards Head--wow! lots of treats so far. I'm not a short story man myself, but these are great.

Well i don't mean I'm against short stories. i just can tolerate a so so novel better then a so so short story. Something about sprawling epics that are kind of a joy in themselves, even if they're not the best.

But like Clive Barker books of blood i love and Poppy Z. Brite's Wormwood (!).... So I can't say I'm not a short stoy man.

But anyway, in answer to your question I discovered Al Sarrantonio this year in Toybox(Leisure Books) and think he's great.
