It's quite surreal sharing cover space with the amazing @annasmithspark.bsky.social! 🙀 Definitely check out Z. B. Steele's work if you haven't already. As this person says on the cover, he is a rising star in grimdark. @zbsteele.bsky.social @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social

An Inkling of Flame by @zbsteele.bsky.social "Ending the Intro (not prologue!) with the question “How did you end up in Tidur’s army?” I got ready for an 89 page rollercoaster." Read @justairythings.bsky.social's full review grimoireinkreviews.wordpress.com/2025/03/12/a...

REVIEW: An Inkling of Flame by @zbsteele.bsky.social 🦊 "Filled with bittersweet reflections, razor-sharp banter, riveting intrigue, and bloody action, this standalone prequel novella (...) is straight-up fire the entire way through." @beforewegoblog.bsky.social 🔥 beforewegoblog.com/review-an-in...

I JUST ORDERED PROOF COPIES OF WHISPERS OF THE STORM Slight revisions to the cover featuring reviews from some LEGENDS of Chris Fisher, @drjohnmauro.bsky.social and the queen of grimdark herself, @annasmithspark.bsky.social Can I get a MF W in the chat!!🎉🎉

And that’s my review of @zbsteele.bsky.social ‘s sleek, fun & well written novella - An Inkling of Flame - tons of character work in a relatively slim 89 pager, it does whet the appetite My review - vinayvasan.substack.com/p/an-inkling...

An Inkling of Flame by @zbsteele.bsky.social is a total banger 🦊

REVIEW: An Inkling of Flame by Z.B. Steele www.grimdarkmagazine.com/review-an-in... "The universe needs more grimdark novellas, and Z.B. Steele delivers in spades" @zbsteele.bsky.social

I have a 2 year old so it usually takes me some time to finish a book, but damn, I DEVOURED this in 2 days. Dark as black with some A+ dialogue, action, and character work. A few nitpicks here and there but I'm calling the library ASAP to get the rest of @annasmithwrites.bsky.social books

@zbsteele.bsky.social You're not only my favorite author but also an encapsulation of what human tenacity and perfection looks like. Everyday I wake up and try to be a little more like you. Your words set my mind aflame 🔥🔥🔥

I have a bunch of free ebook links for the Platinum Tinted Darkness relaunch. Comment with a lizard gif or GLORIOUS! if you’d like one (I think it’s US only) 🦎

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Darker than black and drowns you in an ocean of blood while offering just enough light and hope to keep going. This is what great grimdark looks like

BUY HER BOOKS SHE'S REALLY GREAT AND DOES A LOT FOR THIS COMMUNITY!!

BOOKMAIL! This is gets read VERY soon. Thanks, @zbsteele.bsky.social! I'm confident this will be a great read. #SFF

Thank you @zbsteele.bsky.social Cannot wait for Whispers of the Storm to release. March 25, 2025

He might not be great at game night/day but he writes a pretty good book. What else do I have to say about For a Few Days More by @zbsteele.bsky.social? Find out from @sffinsiders.com: www.sffinsiders.com/blog/review-...

I wrote a review about @annasmithwrites.bsky.social GODBLIND ☠️🩸 Dark as hell, relentlessly brutal, and perfect for fans of Abercrombie, Sebastien de Castell, and Full Metal Alchemist Full review on @sffinsiders.com and below! ⬇️🔽⬇️

I reviewed ICEBREAKER by the wonderfully weird and immensely talented SWH Review on @sffinsiders.com ‼️‼️

❄️ New Review on @sffinsiders.com ! 🥽 ICEBREAKER by Steven William Hannah Check out @zbsteele.bsky.social's full thoughts on this sci-fi horror where an unknown terror lurks beyond the city's walls. Set in a post-apocalyptic frozen world.🔗👇 💙📚🪐

“They’ll never say it to your face, but they do. Don’t underestimate the value of one tenacious person. If you give up that fire, they’ll be doused too. This is war, Layne. If we don’t want to live, we won’t.” - @zbsteele.bsky.social fanfiaddict.com/an-inkling-o...

💀Author interview with @dmeyerauthor is live now on @sffinsiders.com 🦝 Our one and only @zbsteele.bsky.social took the time to get better acquainted with the author of the Sam Adams Series: 🔗👇 💙📚 #writingcommunity

"My name is @shaunalawless.bsky.social and I write phrases like 'The red hair shone against her pale skin like a flame burning on white ash'" I'm jealous of her talent but damn, this book rules

My first 5 ⭐️ novella of 2025, from @zbsteele.bsky.social My excitement for Whispers of the Storm just went through the roof. Review 👇🏼

Full spread thanks to @zbsteele.bsky.social @williamjadams3.bsky.social @beardedbookbeast.bsky.social @jamreads.com @ajcalvin.bsky.social

Honored to be compared to 3 of my biggest inspirations and absolute titans of talent. Now I just gotta pick up Beserk again Thanks again to @lordtbrffa.bsky.social ❤️ 🔥🦊🔥

@annasmithwrites.bsky.social Godblind is fantastic. Notes of Abercrombie as well as the short chapters featured in works like The Greatcoats. I'm about 60% in and absolutely furious I have to go back to work instead of binging it right here and now

Physical copies are now live for $7 USD! 🔥🦊🔥

Since @zbsteele.bsky.social is apparently the world's worst marketer, I have just discovered he has a short fantasy novella out. Inkling of Flame by Z. B Steele. His grimdark fantasy western was pretty good. Very Tarantino meets Abercombie It's 81p in real money 🪐📚💙 #booksky

AN INKLING OF FLAME a Song of the Damned Novella Out now!
