Thanks! Got it! I am looking forward to this one for sure. Of course, I look forward to all of your stuff Willie, so it's not that big of a shocker :)
That does sound good. I've requested it, but they usually turn me down. Probably not enough reviewing on Amazon, though I certainly do enough on here.

I'm a NetGalley Top Reviewer, but Dark Fuse turns me down every time, too. Trying again -
Sounds great! Looking forward to it.

Aww :) awesome!
I just got an email that I got denied asking for Wake by Elizabeth Knox.. they said that it's because I'm not in the UK and today they added a note that only for Uk readers pls. Yet they plug the books on every american site they can. Annoying.
What's a Netgalley top reviewer? Have they started ranking us now too? Ugh, I sure hope not. I always forget to update that thing.
I don't know, Bark. I've never heard of it. I haven't been over there for very long, so if there's a top reviewer list, I'm sure I'm not on it. :)
I hope not because I'm more of a Netgalley slacker.
Lovecraftian. Even when I know it will be declined, I requested it.
If you go to your NetGalley Dashboard, on the left-hand side there is an area called "Badges." If you're a Top Reviewer, you'll see the badge there. I have no idea what I did to qualify as a Top Reviewer.
Ahhhhh I will never see that then :)

Every member starts with the Professional Reader badge below. There are two other badges members can currently earn:
1. 80% badge - Members who provide feedback for 80% (or more) of their approved titles will receive this badge.
2. Top Reviewer badge - Members will receive this badge when 3 or more of their reviews have been added to any NetGalley title details page by a publisher. (To see which reviews have been added just go to your Shelf, then under Feedback Sent you will see a little icon next to the titles where your review now appears on it's Title Details page.)

All I have is the Professional Reader badge.

40% into it. Really liking it! Willie evokes 1950's horror/sci-fi. A black and white flick.Willie. when you get a film deal on this one, don't let them use color.

Does it sound too jockish to waltz in, bellow: "Three badges on Netgalley! Boo-yah!" and swan out again? ;-)
Maybe I should have gone with "jock-like" :-)
Mod
I love the reviews, I will check the library though, thank you for the suggestion!! :)

My pleasure :)
You -really- shouldn't joke about Jocks on a thread started by a Scotsman. No good can come of it... :-)
PS... THE DUNFIELD TERROR is now available to preorder for Kindle, saving you $3 off the price after launch
This one is set in Newfoundland and has some glowing fog, a mad scientist, lots of snow, a shipwreck, some tentacled things, a dead whale, rum, cigarettes, some boats of various sizes, a bar or two, some stiff upper lips, a shed and a multitude of universes, among other things.
Some of my major influences are on show - Lovecraft of course is obvious from the title, the cover and the subject matter, but there's also John Wyndham in there, and more than a touch of old Professor Quatermass, along with possibly bits of Doctor Who's more trippy adventures in the timey-wimey stuff.
I had an awful lot of fun with this one. I hope my readers do too.
