I'm curious about what's a good site to check for the new releases (and reviews, naturally) for fiction novels? Specifically one that deals with fantasy, sci-fi, and horror fiction?

Ideally I'm looking for something that's like to books what Ain't It Cool News or ComingSoon.net are to movies.

The Book Review section of the local paper bores me. It never tells about anything I'd want to read and the reviews never really get into what a book did and didn't do well.

any publishing house will have this (like Random House, Daw, Baen, whatever). If you know what house publishes your favorites, search for them. Also, many of the more well-known authors also have web sites. Give it a whirl...

Well, I was actually hoping for a way to discover authors I didn't know, and I don't have a favorite publisher...it's like record labels with music...I'll like 1 or 2 artists from that label and that's about it. >.>
