ummm...I'll plug myself for a moment:

http://www.amazon.com/Under-Revised-Bradd-Quinn/dp/1448679885/ref=s...

but also, some recent reads of mine:
Drood by Dan Simmons (and Summer of Night and A Winter Haunting by Simmons if you hadn't read those oldies yet)
Patient Zero by Jon Maberry (not as good as the buzz IMO, but okay read)
Pygmy by Chuck P.

older classic: The Bottoms by Joe R. Lansdale

Here's a good book to look into. Just came out today in print. Was originally released free online at podiobooks.com as a free podcast novel. It's been re-edited a little for the print release with some changes made to the original (not unlike how some of Mr. Wellington's serialized novels were further edited and revised a little for their print releases).



Synopsis
As America reels from the bizarre presidential assassination committed by a child, seven men are abducted from their normal lives and delivered to a secret government facility. Each man has his own career, his own specialty. All are identical in appearance. The seven strangers were grown--- unwitting human clones---as part of a project called 7th Son.

The government now wants something from these “John Michael Smiths.” They share the flesh as well as the implanted memories of the psychopath responsible for the president's murder. The killer has bigger plans, and only these seven have the unique qualifications to track and stop him. But when their progenitor makes the battle personal, it becomes clear he may know the seven better than they know themselves.

Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz... along with his Frankenstein trilogy I really think it was a back to form with him.

Also really enjoyed A Good and Happy Child (though the end was a little disappointing I still think it is well worth reading)

Yea, the next book is set 2 years after Dead and Alive and will come out in hardcover instead of paperback like the first three did.
