Latest read, The Ball Room (2005) by China Mieville, from Looking for Jake; a security guard senses a presence in a department store's playroom (knee-high in colorful plastic balls) and, after hours, sees a strange little girl in the room.
Terrific. A Bradbury or Rod Serling-like feel-- but with Mieville's modernism.
