The Black Room by Luke Smitherd - uncommonly good - 4 installments - I think only on kindle - amazing writing, and you care so much about the characters that you need Smitherd to go gently - he doesn't. A bizarre sci fi paranormal mystery love story that never takes you down the path you think you are headed, I read all 4 installments (which end up being about the length of a 'normal' book) at once - I couldn't stop...

I am finding a lot of alternate fiction done this way on Kindle - some terrible - some amazing (like The Black Room). A good place to go poking around is the installment section of Kindle if you want to find some really cutting edge stuff.

Oh, and if you haven't read Neverwhere by Gaiman (I know not totally new - but only 5 years old) - it is a must - Sort of like Hitchhiker's dark twisted younger cousin.
