Amazon vs. Macmillan. Macmillan for the win!

I was all set to post about my childhood love for all things Wolfman (and horror movies in general), but the Internetsies are still all a-flutter, grousing about the Amazon/Macmillan corporate grudge match. It’s just too damn entertaining! (At least for us writerly types, who, you know, are interested in books from both the writing and reading sides of the table.)

Again, so much has been flying around that I’m just going to link to it and let you read to your little ol’ heart’s content.

There is a lot more info out there, but these three should give you a great idea of what’s going on (and they have plenty of links to others if you’re inclined to surf all day reading about this).
