Keeping the book recs rolling with this beauty by @isabelcanas.bsky.social A story of a woman desperate for autonomy (and the perfect mix of horror and romance 👩‍🍳💋)

Today's book rec is a one of a kind ghost story that blew my mind 🤯 The Haunting of Velkwood is the perfect read for spooky season!

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

If we've talked books, I've likely already recommended Rachel Harrison's work, but her latest novel Play Nice needs to top your TBR pile right 👏 this 👏 minute. It's horrific, humorous, and scarily relatable. 💜 @rachelharrison.bsky.social

Happy to brighten your feed with another recent horror read on this rainy Tuesday: Her Wicked Roots by @tanyapell.bsky.social came out earlier this month, and I highly recommend picking up a copy! I couldn't put down this twisty tale of mystery, romance, and horror 🌱

After StokerCon this year, my TBR pile was (and still is) overwhelming... but I was lucky to pick up this book by @jvgachs.bsky.social and devoured it in a weekend! A story of self-discovery, pain, and pleasure, Unholy and its Satanic cult had me in its clutches and kept me hooked to the very end.

One of my favorite recent reads on Audible was @sgj.bsky.social 's The Buffalo Hunter Hunter. I love what he did with vampirism in this and really enjoyed the structure of the storytelling through three linked POVs.

I'm a little late to the game but each October I try to share a few of my favorite recent reads! Just got this beauty at Antigone Books in Tucson and I'm really enjoying the lore and art within 🖤🖤🖤 @icysedgwick.bsky.social

Back to work tomorrow but damn, Arizona has been a dream 🌅

😈 Sorry, my weekend's already booked.

Some new spooky notepads for the desk 💕👻💕 check out ghost girl greetings on Etsy!

A few favorites from the Yale Art Gallery this past weekend. The duck really made my day 😂

A mood board for my current work in progress featuring a few wild friends 💙 Researching the flora and fauna of my setting is one of my favorite parts of writing! Any guesses where this story takes place? #wip

How can I even start to sum up my first StokerCon?! My head is still spinning. I met sooo many talented writers and artists, many of whom I'm now happy to call friends ❤️ I did not take enough photos, but damn, the past few days are going to live rent free in my head for a long while.

Can't believe he did nothing for Mother's Day 🙂‍↔️
