The lovely and talented Allison Pang: Unicorn Hunter is welcoming her debut book into the world today! Hooray! Happy bookday, Allison! <br /><br /><i>A Brush of Darkness</i> [<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Brush-Darkness-Allison-Pang/dp/1439198322/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1295970362&amp;sr=8-1&amp;tag=seanacom-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0756405718">Amazon</a>]|[<a href="http://mysteriousgalaxy.booksense.com/NASApp/store/Product?s=showproduct&amp;affiliateId=SMG&amp;isbn=978-1439198322">Mysterious Galaxy</a>] is a fun, flirty, fabulously bizarre addition to the urban fantasy world. Forget vampires, werewolves, and zombies. Bring on the succubi, incubi, and teacup unicorns!<br /><br />I was actually asked to blurb this book, which means I read it months ago, and explains a bit of my enthusiasm. My blurb:<br /><br />"Weird, wild, and ultimately wonderful, <i>A Brush of Darkness</i> is a joy from start to finish, with a completely unique mythology that's as fun to figure out as it is to read. I can't wait to see what happens next&mdash;and I want my own enchanted iPod!"<br /><br />Both these statements remain true. I can't wait to see what happens next. And I want my own enchanted iPod.<br /><br />I'm just saying.
