THE ASCENDITURE (@regalhouse.bsky.social) might be one of the most fun books I’ve read this year. Its unique blend of self-empowerment, murder mystery, and scaling treacherous peaks made the book feel like a breath of fresh mountain air. 🔗 fanfiaddict.com/review-the-a...

“Darker Days,” by Thomas Olde Heuvelt takes seasonal depression to new extremes and is not so much “darker,” as it is subsumed entirely by something black and bleak and void-like. Out Oct 23rd from @bantambooksuk.bsky.social and October 28th from @harperbooks.bsky.social

THE BONE RAIDERS is an epic fantasy with tons of heart, equal parts serious and fun. I had a great time in the Tapestry, and can’t wait to see what Jackson Ford does with the sequel. 🪐📚💙 #BookReview 🔗 fanfiaddict.com/review-the-b...

A fiery little number that will burn the back of its reader’s throats, redden their cheeks and leave them coughing and spluttering, “Fly On The Wall,” by Inigo Mort is precise, pacy and pretty damn good. Single sitting read, available on KU. fanfiaddict.com/review-fly-o...

Take a chilling hike into the paranoia inducing, folkloric mystery of Gemma Fairclough's THE RETREAT, the latest book in @wildhuntbooks.bsky.social Northern Weird Project! Thanks to Wild Hunt Books for the ARC! Full review below 🧘‍♀️ fanfiaddict.com/review-the-r...

"Silence of the Dead is a great deal of fun. It bounces between darkness and silliness in good measure." I loved this effort from @andiewington.bsky.social and @ericamarks.bsky.social. Find out why in my review on FanFiAddict: fanfiaddict.com/fantasy-murd...

Beauty and rot, gilt and decay all feature in “The Works of Vermin,” by Hiron Ennes. With shades of Miéville but a palette that is completely its own, this one will ensure you never complain about an eight legged housemate again. @torbooksuk.bsky.social OCTOBER 14TH

Releasing tomorrow - just in time for spooky season - is NO REST FOR THE WICKED by Rachel Louise Adams. Take a trip to a Halloween obsessed small town, where everyone has secrets, in this family drama thriller! Full review below 🎃 @titanbooks.bsky.social fanfiaddict.com/review-no-re...

New book review for Molly Macabre's new novella WHAT COMES BEFORE. This is a fun, fast-paced, and at times gruesome horror novella. It reads like a love letter to spooky forest stories, with few wild twists along the way. The book comes out TOMORROW the 13th. 🔗 fanfiaddict.com/review-what-...

Please find my fantasy book review for FanFiAddict of Trollgrave by @alexsbradshaw.bsky.social in the link below. A Norse inspired dark fantasy that rolls along at an electric pace with fluid prose. Had me hooked! fanfiaddict.com/trollgrave-b... #bookreview #fantasybooks #darkfantasy

Written in a style of a letter to his son, Icarus, Daedalus recounts the memories of his life as he toils away in Hell. Daedalus is Dead by Seamus Sullivan was an emotionally poignant retelling, and I loved it. Thanks @torbooks.bsky.social for the ARC! #booksky #bookreview #FanFiAddict My review:

Horrific sci-fi with heart? Sold! Especially when it comes from @jonathanjanz.bsky.social. His upcoming release, Veil, succeeds through its personal, emotional flourishes, elevating this fast-paced survival story into the stratosphere. My review: capesandtights.com/veil-where-l...

“Spin A Black Yarn,” blew my mind, in terms of its prose, in terms of its imagery, in terms of its clever layers, subtle nods and sly winks, and proves @joshmalerman.bsky.social to be, not merely a wonderful writer, but a real wordsmith, and a master of his craft. @lordtbrffa.bsky.social

At work, there's this salesman from another company that has been hounding me to switch supplier to them. I have said no multiple times, and yet he still reappears. Today, I've had to actually shout at this guy because he will not stop. Why is sales culture like this? It's so venomous.

IT'S OUT TODAY! Ancient family lore. Secrets passed down through generations. A feeling of belonging...or, of not. Heritage and horror, ancestry, things we pass down through our bloodlines. Stories that have deep, foul roots. I'M SO PROUD OF THIS BOOK! GET YOURS: titanbooks.com/72017-roots-...

As well as a gothic-y, folky story, “The Scald-Crow,” by @gracedalyauthor.bsky.social is a little rom, a little com and goes to show that horror does not have to choose between making you laugh and making you squirm. OCTOBER 14TH Review for @lordtbrffa.bsky.social fanfiaddict.com/review-the-s...

Only a Grave Wll Do was my favorite book of the series, and I'm kind of sad the story is over. Reviewing a book 3 is never easy, so I focused on the overall elements of why I liked the series as a whole. My review below. @lordtbrffa.bsky.social @jamesldulin.bsky.social #booksky #bookreview

🧟‍♀️Book Review time, frens & zombies!🧟‍♂️ #booksky Dark Bloom by the badass Molly Macabre Full review at FanFiAddict: fanfiaddict.com/review-dark-...

Book review: Run Like Hell by @eirabrand.com is a bloody cyberpunk thriller that almost becomes an action horror novel in the finale—all while tackling questions of identity and humanity. It’s a wild and exciting read that I’m glad to have found. 🔗 fanfiaddict.com/review-run-l...

Dear agents, Our editor is open again to submissions and she is READY TO READ 🖤

Since hitting 29 earlier this year (it was a hard paper round), its strange the number of people that have questioned WHEN I'm having kids, and not IF I'm having them.

THE NGA'PHANDILEH WHISPERER by @genni.bsky.social is a bold & fascinating sci-fi cosmic horror tale, setting up the Sauútiverse, rooted in African mythology, language, & culture. A review: fanfiaddict.com/review-the-n... @lordtbrffa.bsky.social @starsandsabers.bsky.social @sauutiverse.bsky.social

Set in a war-torn land where the power of the spirits is coveted (and abused) by both sides, No Safe Haven by James L Dulin was not only an excellent sequel, but in my opinion, it was better than book 1. Full review: fanfiaddict.com/review-no-sa... #booksky #bookreview @jamesldulin.bsky.social

Today @raforall.bsky.social is on the pod to talk about the excellent Why I Love Horror essay collection she edited, with essays from some very exciting voices in horror. We are talking about the media that got us into horror at various points in our lives What media part of your horror journey?

Breathe In, Bleed Out by @brianmcwriter.bsky.social releases today by @poisonedpenpress.bsky.social and it's a marvellously fun satire on wellness culture with a healthy dash of creative brutality! Check out my full review on FanFiAddict! fanfiaddict.com/review-breat...

Aaaand Broadbent continues to cement herself as a must-read author for me 👑 The Fallen & the Kiss of Dusk is an epic journey that throws you straight into the action from page one If you’re caught up on the Crowns of Nyaxia series you will love this book Full review 👇

“You Weren’t Meant To Be Human,” by @ajwhiteauthor.bsky.social had me squirming and grimacing and hesitant to turn the page, whilst simultaneously grateful that somebody had the guts to write it, and write it well. SEPTEMBER 9TH- @daphnepress.bsky.social @sagapressbooks.bsky.social

New review up for The Hallows by @hollytinsl3y.bsky.social! Highly recommended. 😁 fanfiaddict.com/review-the-h...

“The Burial Tide,” is a novel that will sting your eyes, salt your wounds, and fill your lungs with dread. In this briny folk horror Sharpson explores patterns of abuse and writes about human monsters in tandem with the most unique creature feature of 2025. SEPT 9TH- @zandoprojects.bsky.social
