@richardswanauthor.bsky.social keep the darkness coming. Nothing but love for Steel Gods. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

What do mermaids, gunpowder, an arcane plague, and the loss of contact with the afterlife, have in common? The diabolical mind of @richardswanauthor.bsky.social is the answer and, in this #BreakdownOfAChapter, he joins me to talk a little more in depth about what went into writing #GraveEmpire 🔥

Happening today!

Just finished - “Grave Empire” by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social. What a book. A truly wonderful read. Imaginative and shocking at times. It certainly went harder, than I thought it would. And that’s not a bad thing. A refreshing take on magic. And devastating at the same time. Awesome.

#booksky 📚💙 📚🪐 @richardswanauthor.bsky.social just blew me away w/ this one. This book just starts and does not let up w/ the twists, turns, betrayals, epic freaking battles until the very end. And even then not really because that cliffhanger!! Highly recommend!!

To celebrate the release of Steel Gods, Richard Swan (Empire of the Wolf, The Great Silence) is sitting down with the wonderful Kell Woods (After the Forest, Upon a Starlit Tide) at the Galaxy Bookshop in Sydney. @richardswanauthor.bsky.social @kellinthewoods.bsky.social @galaxybookshop.bsky.social

Are you the right reader for THE INFINITE STATE? 👀 This blistering sci-fi epic begins at a flashpoint in the lives of a widowed party member, a disgraced investigator, and a hypersled pilot—entangled in a plot to escape the suffocating authority of a fascist state. Out on 8/4 🚀

Melbourne I am in you

@thebrokenbinding.bsky.social has done it again. FYI The Steel Gods by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social was still available at time of recording and it comes with an amazing collector's card. youtu.be/D9me6lLG_Nc 💙📚 #books #Reading #SFF #FantasyBook #readersky #SpecialEditionBooks

Nils returns to Richard Swan's fantasy horror series The Great Silence in his sequel to Grave Empire, STEEL GODS: "thrilling, jaw dropping and left me desperately wanting more" Read more: tinyurl.com/m3ssnf43 @orbitbooks.bsky.social @richardswanauthor.bsky.social

Strongly agreed

The Great Silence won't silence me. Steel Gods is an absolute unsettling blast and Goldsboro has done this edition right. @richardswanauthor.bsky.social @goldsborobooks.bsky.social @orbitbooks.bsky.social #steelgods #richardswan #bookmail

Sydneysiders, another event for your calendar 📆

Steel Gods, second book in the Great Silence series by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social (pub by @orbitbooks.bsky.social) is all you could have asked for the second instalment in the series blurring the line between fantasy and horror in top of superb characterization. jamreads.com/reviews/stee... 💙📚

I'm usually too slow to reviews arcs! Not the case for @richardswanauthor.bsky.social's new and incredible Spy-Fi The Infinite State. Here's my seditious findings... The Infinite State, Decurion saga book 1 by Richard Swan fanfiaddict.com/the-infinite...

If you'd like a chance to win one of 50 copies of The Infinite State head on over to Goodreads. If you wouldn't like that chance, then do not do that

I have found my third five-star of the year. A sci fi book that is sure to become a classic. 🪐📚💙 @richardswanauthor.bsky.social www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I’m currently reading Steel Gods by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social which is the sequel to Grave Empire. I always love Swan’s blend of supernatural horror and fantasy and so far there has been a few really unhinged scenes involving the arcane (a possession and a seance!) I’m a happy reader! 🤣

Another day, another tag in a dismally lukewarm review. Just irritating enough to wheedle its way into my grey matter, not irritating enough to do something ill-advised. I am full of unspent irritation and my characters will pay for this.

I'll be reading in company with some great authors at TWISTED FICTION at the Shakepeare Hotel, Sydney on May 4th.

We're halfway through March, and I've rounded up another batch of excellent-looking books for you to check out: www.andrewliptak.com/march-2026-s...

Genuinely brilliant (and extremely short for your attention-rotted brains) review of The Scour

We released a stack of fiction and non-fiction eligible for the Hugos this year. If you’ve yet to cast a vote (or GdM gives you an irresistible urge to turn your coat) then this is what we put out there and the relevant categories (check the following Tweets):

For this week's Waiting on Wednesday, I highlight on an awesome and relevant upcoming science fiction novel, The Infinite State by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social. Featuring an intriguing plot I'm curious to check out, this is going to be an outstanding read. unseenlibrary.com/2026/02/28/w...

DEAD WEIGHT by @hildur.bsky.social—wonderfully unsettling horror 🐈 THE TOWER OF THE TYRANT by @jeremyteg.bsky.social—philosophical epic fantasy! THE SCOUR by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social—crime procedurals x The Witcher! PROJECT HANUMAN by @stewarthotston.com—ideas on a scale only sci-fi can do!

I LOVE fantasy maps. If you grabbed an unsigned copy of The Scour by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social , then you will have seen the B&W version of this map. If you grabbed the limited signed hardcover edition released by @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social , you would have this map in full colour. 1/2

Some still images of Rebecca Hanssen (The Witcher, Baldur's Gate III) recording her reading of the dark fantasy story COLD COMFORT by Matt Ward. Grab your coats for this one folks, it's dark, it's cold, and it has an absolutely haunting ending.

Un excellent premier tome pour cette dark fantasy qui mêle polar et réflexion sur la justice. Richard Swan fait une entrée en matière remarquable ! @richardswanauthor.bsky.social
