mmm Dresdencrack.

It is up, you can find it on Penguin Books website, and there is a link from jim-butcher.com.

It is delicious. Oh so delicious.

Use spoiler tags please, for those sissys who dont like to read the chapters before they have the book in their shaking little hands.

God dammit... GOD DAMMIT!

The book is just too far away... I am not going to read this now and build up all the hype/suspense just for me to then twiddle my thumbs whilst I wait for it to come out...

BAH...

Who am I kidding... This will be read by tonight...

Had to read it. I always do though. The hardest part is that they started the preview chapters so far in advance, too much anticipation going on now.

EPIC fail of will power...

July... JULY... Anyone seen the South Park episode where Cartman freezes himself in the avalanche so he doesn't have to put up with the wait for the Wii...

Seriously considering doing it... though finding enough snow around Newcastle maybe a problem...

Must... have... more... Dresden... need... some... Dresden...

Butcher has a knack for yanking the reader right on in. This was a significantly 'quieter' opening than most, and even then, those last few paragraphs don't hook so much as hammer you.

I ll resist. I have to admit, that just finished Changes... and Im pretty disappointed with Ghost Story synopsis... C´mon...I want my regular Dresden stuff. Or staff. And rod. Bracelet... Its IMO too much changes...from Changes. Dresden used ti tackle burned hand for several books and now wrestles godlike powers, changes form, abilities...everything in two books?

Son, Im disappoint.
