Check Out: Indexing (Kindle Serial) by Seanan McGuire

Okay, this sounds like complete fun. Check out Indexing (Kindle Serial) by Seanan McGuire. Any book description that includes "they are tasked with identifying potential outbreaks using the Aarne-Thompson Indexing" is completely fun. And we won't quibble that it's ATU with Uther added, will we? Because this is cool nerdy fairy tale fun all the way... (After all, there are still parts of SurLaLune that haven't been updated with the ATU numbers either.) And the entire serial is a $2.99 commitment. Not much of a financial risk..

Book description:

This book is a Kindle Serial. Kindle Serials are stories published in episodes, with future episodes delivered at no additional cost. This serial currently contains one episode out of an estimated twelve total episodes, and new episodes will be delivered every two weeks.

“Never underestimate the power of a good story.”

Good advice…especially when a story can kill you.

For most people, the story of their lives is just that: the accumulation of time, encounters, and actions into a cohesive whole. But for an unfortunate few, that day-to-day existence is affected—perhaps infected is a better word—by memetic incursion: where narratives the rest of the world considers fairy tales becomes reality, often with disastrous results.

A motley team struggling with their own unfolding narratives, they are tasked with identifying potential outbreaks using the Aarne-Thompson Indexing and making sure the story doesn’t reach “ever after”…because if it does, someone is usually dead, broken—or worse. When you're dealing with fairy tales in the real world, it doesn't matter if you're Cinderella, Snow White, or the Wicked Queen: no one gets a happy ending.

Indexing is bestselling author Seanan McGuire’s new urban fantasy where everything you thought you knew about fairy tales gets turned on its head.
