  • Modern Masters
    Friday November 20, 2009
    8:00 p - 10:00 p
    Borders Ramsey
    235 Interstate Shopping Center
    Ramsey, NJ 07446
    201.760.1967

    This group meets on the 4th Friday of each month to discuss various works of "modern" masters
    or upcoming talent in SF, fantasy, paranormal, horror and related genres. It also occasionally
    explores classics and the 'masters' of the classics. This month we discuss
    Mean Streets by Jim
    Butcher, Simon Green, Kat Richardson, and Tom Sniegoski. Collection of original novellas tied to
    popular crime/fantasy series. The standout is Sniegoski's
    Noahs Orphans, in which angel PI
    Remy Chandler must solve the murder of the biblical Arks builder, whose battered corpse is
    found on an abandoned oil rig. Sniegoski manages to make a far-fetched setup both plausible
    and moving. Butcher's
    The Warrior hints at a mysterious ongoing war, while wizard detective Harry
    Dresden solves a case with typical dry wit. Green employs darker humor in
    The Difference a Day
    Makes
    , in which PI John Taylor assists a woman who wandered into the dark world hidden within
    London, while Richardson's
    The Third Death of the Little Clay Dog neatly merges noir
    conventions with a fantastical plot. All solid and suspenseful, these stories are sure to please. For
