Genre Blend New Releases for October 2014

Every month there is another batch of new books that don’t fit neatly into one genre. Here are some of the genreblended books coming out in October 2014.  Usually there is a bias towards books with a SF, Fantasy or Horror element, but this month these is also a bonaza of romance coming out, especially regencies. Genres are listed in my best estimation as to the order of prominence to the story. For example, if the first genre listed is SF, that is probably the first audience for the book. What are you most looking foward to?
