SFFH on General Lists
1 September 2002
Orson Scott Card's Shadow Puppets (Tor) debuts strongly on six lists, as high as 5th position on three of them.
In the UK The Straw Men by Michael Marshall (aka Michael Marshall Smith) has ranked on lists for three weeks now; it doesn't sound like genre fantasy or horror, but it's close enough for Ed Bryant to have turned in a review of the book for Locus's October issue (he calls it "slipstream SF"); so it's now included in the table below. The book is out in the US, in paperback, from Jove.
(Note: you can now bookmark this link, Locus Online Bestsellers, for automatic redirection to the latest week's chart.)

| This cell color indicates rankings on children's bestsellers lists |
[Italics and brackets indicate stale data -- rankings from one or more weeks before -- and do not contribute to the cumulative weeks on any list totals] |
Key:
The table shows the current rank of each book and the change since last week, where:
= same as last week
+ or - with number: difference since last week
+ back on list
++ new on list
x no longer on list (number of x's: weeks off list)
Columns show ranks on lists from, respectively, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, The Bookseller, Publishers Weekly, BookSense, Amazon.com (fiction lists), and Amazon UK (fiction lists). All lists rank hardcovers and paperbacks separately, except for the USA Today list, which is a single list combining fiction and nonfiction in all formats. Dates shown are posted dates, except those in parentheses, which are dates compiled. New York Times posts its list one week in advance of print publication.
Note that some sources do not compile paperback bestsellers, and some exclude YA books (like the Harry Potter series) from their hardcover and paperback fiction lists.
