Got a message from my gifter and the shipping notification on matching day, and the delivery happened exactly when predicted. Came home from work, a package from Amazon waiting for me on my doorstep.

Inside? Two books off my Amazon wishlist. 'The Troupe' by Robert Jackson Bennett (one that sounded appealing when I saw it promoted in the back of an urban fantasy book I recently finished) and 'Cuddly Holocaust' by Carlton Mellick III. Granted if one were wont to argue, these may not fit the typical definition of fantasy, but being such a broad term, many things can fall under the banner, these two included. :)

Definitely looking forward to reading each of these! A vaudeville-inspired fantasy that promises a fair deal of action and a new trip into the surreal landscape of the Bizarro fiction genre. Thanks a bunch!
