Is that an Apocalypse in your Pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

My current book is Pocket Apocalypse, by Seanan McGuire. It's the fourth, and newest, volume in her Incryptid series. Newest as in it just came out two days ago.

I'm torn between tearing through it as fast as I can (because what happens next??? I must know!) and going through it slowly and sedately (because savor the experience and it will be like another year before the next volume comes out).

The book combines several of Seanan's favorite things: virology, horror (werewolves!), and Australia. Thus far, I'm concluding that if the average Australian is anything like the members of the Thirty-Six Society, I'm adding reasons to my "why I am never going to Australia" list. But since the Australians I know are all pretty nice people, I'm guessing it's just this fictional group that are dicks.

Which, of course, makes me suspicious that there's something going on with them. I'm halfway through. We shall see....
