We recently noticed that Evil Genius author Catherine Jinks has been posting a free e-book on her site for adults. The story is called The Deck, and the site describes it as "[The] comic tribulations of housewife, mother and part-time funeral-parlour receptionist Roanna Hagelburgh". Now, we haven't read The Deck yet, but we're pretty sure you should take that "for adults" thing seriously—even Jinks's YA stuff can be incredibly creepy*, so we expect the sky's the limit when it comes to her grown-fiction.

*Julia's been reading The Reformed Vampire Support Group in fits and starts, but she has to keep putting it down to let her stomach settle.
