Absolutely. And I adore Southern Gothic.

Noticed you liked The Glass Castle, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a dysfunctional family and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to learn a little more about the book before you commit:

Sadly, the Sharpie is already rubbing off the iPod. But it was still cool. And listening to Lenny Henry read Anansi Boys was marvelous.

Thanks! I love Elizabeth McCracken and really wish she'd write another book.

I see that you reviewed Stardust. Gaiman's one of my favorite authors too. I even got to see him on his Anansi Boys tour (I'm such a geek, I had him sign my iPod). I'm sure you already know this, but they're making a movie of Stardust. I hope it's good.
