There are ghosts about - NifT - 03-10-2011
First preview chapter of Ghost Story is up. Too bad we'll have to wait until late June for the rest of the previews, and July 26 for the book itself (preview release schedule here).
edited to correct title

I read the first chapter when it was released, but imma wait until the book comes out now to savor the rest. I'd actually completely forgotten that Ghost Story was coming out.

Jim Butcher is such a bastard. If I ever meet him, I may slap him with a roll of $100 bills and beg him on my knees to never stop writing.

I'm going to have to actually buy the hardcover Kindle version of this. Because audible decided to change the reader *cries a little inside*.
I'm sorry, but no one besides James Marsers (you know, spike from buffy) will measure up. He will forever be the voice of dresden I hear in my head.
He read the other 13 books, and they change the reader NOW?
Edit: after looking at delivery options, I'm going kindle. Cause getting it faster matters more than the minimal DRM that is there.

Jim Butcher is an evil, evil man.

Just got an email from Amazon -- my preordered copy of the hardback is on its way.
If I weren't at work I'd be hopping up and down in excitement.

Just finished it, and I have to totally agree with wiregeek.
I would be a frenetic ball of squeeing joy if it wasn't so late
I swear Jim Butcher has an absolute gift for dropping little breadcrumbs of hints the whole while, and only when you get to the end is it revealed how things click together.
Any other comments I can make would fall into spoiler territory, so I will refrain.

Wow.
I couldn't believe how [REDACTED] had [REDACTED] [REDACTED], or when we found out [REDACTED] was actually [REDACTED].
That was awesome.

I didn't actually post any spoilers. I just typed '[REDACTED]' a few times, then put them under a black highlight.

Funny note. I GM a game most Thursday evenings. We met yesterday, then got no gaming done at all because we kept on discussing and fanpersoning out on the book.
- Vincent Ursus - 07-30-2011
Query, 'fanpersoning?'
- Ankhani - 07-30-2011
I imagine it's somwhere between a Jim Butcher voice-impersonation, Reading his book aloud, and fan-squeeing.

After reading Ghost Story, I have to applaud Jim Butcher. It was awesome.
... I also want to punch him in the nose. I'd rather punch Harry, but I'll have to punch his creator instead.
