Can you give me a refresher as to which story that was? I read all of the short stories that backed up I Am Legend, but none of them stick out particularly well in my memory. If you can give me the reminder, I should be able to answer your question.

There was a story about a warrior doll that brutally attacks a woman in her apartment, but the stand out for me was the short one about the man at the funeral parlor making preparations for his wife's death.

the warrior one was "prey," the other one joe mentioned was "the near departed" and "buried talents" was the one where a tall man in black totally owns a carnival game, wins some knives and it ends with the carnie in mysterious pain.

I read it a month or two ago when the first trailer came out. I'm debating whether to read the sequel or not (if I can find it at a library).

I picked it up over the weekend. I believe that there is a strong chance that Jumper will be the next book on the docket.

That's the plan. It'll be announced in the next JLCM update.

I wish there were time to do a voting period but Jumper really seems to be the next best bet and it's coming up fast.
