| Genre Chicks: Alethea Kontis interviews Christopher Golden |

Featured Publishers |

|
|
There’s always been something thrilling about darkness, something wonderful about having goosebumps rise up on your skin when hearing a story told around a campfire or beneath a fort full of blankets with a flashlight under your chin. The man with the hook instead of a hand, the mysterious girl in a prom dress hitchhiking on the side of the road on a foggy night, the abandoned house with the faces always at the windows. These classically delicious legends are usually light on the blood and gore but rich in psychological intensity. Welcome to the world of Christopher Golden. Read the interview.

| Dear Libby |
|
|
|

In each issue, an Ingram expert dons the mask of the Super Librarian (yes, we introduced Libby several years ago) to answer a question from a librarian. Do you have a question you would like to pose? Just send it to dearlibby@ingrambook.com.
Dear Libby,
I’d really like to see a place where I can find relevant, topical lists in an electronic format that will interface with my ILS. Any ideas?
--Just the facts
Dear Just,
Yes, indeed! I’m sure you have ipage since virtually everyone does. Either click here or click on the Collection Development Tab, then click on Adult Books and Audiobooks. You’ll see all sorts of resources here including High Interest Title Selections (HITS), Graphic Novels and even great backlist title lists. For your purposes, however, be sure to click on Quick Lists. Here’s an example of what you’ll find: new titles on Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome, books on Planet Earth, British mysteries on audio, and much, much more! To see thematic lists for younger readers, click on the Youth Books and Audiobooks link. These lists are frequenty changed and updated and make a helpful addition to the Lists to the Side on the home page of ipage.
Happy harvesting,
