Something that looked like a sea urchin was growing on the office door. I hadn’t noticed it at first because it was the same dark brown color as the wood but on closer inspection, the tendrils (I called them tendrils because I didn’t know what they were) looked like they were dusted with a fine powder. I had an urge to reach out and touch them—they seemed spongy and inviting in a weird kind of way—but I didn’t. Living on a tropical island had taught me that much.

We science fiction fans are going to have our work cut out for us to make it through all the riches on offer this month. There are at least four books published in October that are must-reads for me, including the new Stephen Baxter, an epic story of a future destroyed by climate change from Tim Winton, time travel from Alan Moore and J. Lincoln Fenn’s tale of a creepily mysterious plant on a remote island.

From the award-winning author of Dead Souls and Poe comes an all-new bone-chilling novel where a mysterious island holds the terrifying answers to a woman's past and future. In 1939, on a remote Pacific island, botanical researcher Irene Greer plunges off a waterfall to her death, convinced the spirits of her dead husband and daughter had joined the nightmarchers—ghosts of ancient warriors that rise from their burial sites on moonless nights.

Ah, fairy tales. You know, like "The Little Mermaid" and its happily-ever-after ending, where the doe-eyed mermaid gets her legs and singing voice back just in time to marry the equally doe-eyed prince. Or "Snow White," where the evil queen gets her just desserts from an unfortunate lightning strike. Pure and utter bullshit.

Like she was taking a well-deserved nap. There was no trace of the pancreatic tumor that had swollen her belly so she looked 8 months pregnant, her skin was luminous and there was even a slight blush to her cheek.
