We’ve collected the books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending October 23, 2011–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.
(Debuted at #10 in Hardcover Fiction) Damned by Chuck Palahniuk: “This is the afterlife as only Chuck Palahniuk could imagine it: a twisted inferno where The English Patientplays on endless repeat, roaming demons devour sinners limb by limb, and the damned interrupt your dinner from their sweltering call center to hard-sell you Hell. He makes eternal torment, well, simply divine.” (October 2011)
(Debuted at #13 in Hardcover Nonfiction) Van Gogh: The Life by Steven Naifeh & Gregory White Smith: “Working with the full cooperation of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Naifeh and Smith have accessed a wealth of previously untapped materials. While drawing liberally from the artist’s famously eloquent letters, they have also delved into hundreds of unpublished family correspondences, illuminating with poignancy the wanderings of Van Gogh’s troubled, restless soul.” (October 2011)
(Debuted at #14 in Children’s Illustrated) Halloween Mice! by Bethany Roberts & illustrated by Doug Cushman: “Mice whirling in the moonlight, having a party on Halloween night, are threatened by an approaching cat until they come up with an ingenious trick to scare him off.” (August 1997)
