I propose a new game for book geeks: Name That Author, based on the "statistically improbable phrases" taken from the amazon.com record of one of his or her books. Here we go:

curvilinear hieroglyphs, tarry stickiness, twilight abysses, sealed loft, sealed trapdoors, spiky image, twilit grotto, hill noises, fishy odour, domed hills, accursed house, slanting floor, slanting wall, elder world, blasted heath, captive minds, secondary personality, grocery boy (???).

Anyone?
