Epic Pub Day: 10/2/12Soho Press |

Publishers Weekly said it best: October 2 is the Best Book Day of 2012.

But, in our humble opinion, they missed some really good Best Book material. We’re here to remedy that. Soho Press (and friends) have a couple of really, really great things up today. Here they are!

1. INVISIBLE MURDER

Lene Kaaberbol and Agnete Friis’ follow up to the (2011 and 2012!) New York Times bestselling THE BOY IN THE SUITCASE pulls no punches. In her next adventure, Danish Red Cross nurse Nina Borg puts life and family on the line in order to come to the aid of a group of disenfranchised and mysteriously ill Roma gypsies living illegally in a Copenhagen garage. Nina has unwittingly thrown herself into a deadly nest of the unscrupulous and the desperate, and what is at stake is much more terrifying than anyone had realized.

2. THAT’S NOT A FEELING

Dan Josefson’s debut novel comes with plenty of street cred: backed by Tom Bissell (“an astonishment”), Jim Shepard (“hugely moving and frequently hilarious”), and none other than the one, the only, David Foster Wallace (“a bold, funny, mordant, and deeply intelligent debut”). THAT’S NOT A FEELING is the story of two-time failed suicide Benjamin, deemed broken by his parents and entrusted for fixing to The Roaring Orchards School for Troubled Teens and Aubrey, the unhinged headmaster, whose unorthodox (at best) philosophy has turned the campus into a delinquent-filled free-for-all—one that Benjamin can’t wait to escape, or bear to lose.

3. ACCELERATED

Bronwen Hruska is not a Soho author. But she is our fabulous publisher. And ACCELERATED is a fabulous book, praised by Publishers Weekly as “witty” and “piercingly relevant, and by A.M. Holmes as “a deftly, unexpectedly terrifying first novel.” Out from Pegasus Books today, it’s the story of single father Sean, struggling to keep up with the ladies-who-lunch at his son’s prestigious NYC prep school. When things take a tragic turn, the pressure to not just keep up, but to exceed, takes hold. And Sean realizes that the price of this accelerated life is higher than he could have ever imagined.
