A novel muted by design “We Spread,” by Iain Reid is not a book I felt the urge to hurl bodily into the nearest oxfam, but nor did it consume me in the way Reid’s best work has. I liked it well enough. fanfiaddict.com/review-we-sp...

Another #SPFBOXI review complete! Shadow of the Sword by C.J.R. Isely is an enjoyable, traditional fantasy adventure with strong character dynamics and plenty of swordplay.

Good Morning, fellow kids! Today I review ON SUNDAYS SHE PICKED FLOWERS, Yah Yah Scholfield's debut novel involving haints and haunted houses. In short, it's absolutely brilliant and I'd highly recommend it! Check out my full thoughts here 👇💐 fanfiaddict.com/on-sundays-s...

Saw a 1-star review of a book 2 in a trilogy today, which read: "Dear Author, After reading your first book, I went ahead and bought this sequel only to realize you're planning to squeeze even more out of your readers with a third instalment. Well… this is where I get off!" Stupidest review ever?

How is Nigel Farage, the loathsome toad of a man, still in the news constantly? He was a laughing stock not that long ago. Have people really forgotten just how much of a lying cunt he is?!

Sometimes you read a book for which writing a review after almost causes you an aneurysm. @scribeofhades.bsky.social's upcoming #Daytide is one such offender but man am I glad I had the chance to have an early look!

“A real page-turner, “Greedy,” by @callieuntitled.bsky.social is exactly what I thought it would be. This is the sort of book you may try and pace yourself with, savour, but will end up demolishing standing at the kitchen counter.” FEB 3rd- Bantam FEB 5th- Century

A new book review today! The Feeding by Anthony Ryan is a harrowing tale of survival against the odds... And it was exactly the zombie-apocalypse story I've been looking for. Full review: fanfiaddict.com/review-the-f... #booksky #bookreview @anthonyryan.bsky.social @fanfiaddict.bsky.social

“Whether handling haunted pornography, simply admiring the lunar eclipse- the first in 50 years, topping the charts in Liverpool 1957, or knocking them back in a doctors office, I would follow @natcassidy.bsky.social anywhere. Not in a weird way.” @shortwavebooks.bsky.social MAY 5TH

But hey, when the world over was yelling, Don’t Vote For Him, we were told to stop catastrophizing and being dramatic…

The Bram Stoker Award preliminary ballot for this year just went out, and congratulations to everyone whose work appears on it, be it under their name or their editor!! Also TEENAGE GIRLS CAN BE DEMONS and A GAME IN YELLOW whaaat 🤩😭

Spiderlight is another incredible book from @aptshadow.bsky.social 🕷️ I can’t believe how much I cared for a spider in human form, but then again, I shouldn’t be surprised. This is a fantastic standalone for DnD & classic quest lovers (with a twist): fanfiaddict.com/review-spide... #ad-pr

It all ends here with Wolfskin. Is the final book in Jeremy Szal's The Common trilogy worth the wait? I got my hands on an early copy to find out ... Find out in my FanFiAddict review below! 🫡 fanfiaddict.com/review-wolfs... @gollancz.bsky.social @jeremyszal.bsky.social

“Intensely uncanny, white-knuckle tense, wholly unnerving, Trad Wife by Sarah Langan was one that I basked in the unremitting, methodic, apron-clad dread of. Ballerina farm meets “A King in Yellow,” meets Shirley Jackson.” MAY 14TH- @torbooksuk.bsky.social fanfiaddict.com/review-trad-...

WE ARE ALWAYS TENDER WITH OUR DEAD by @ericlarocca.bsky.social is a raw, disturbing, and deeply affecting novel of longing. Also, WTF DID I JUST READ?!! With thanks to @titanbooks.bsky.social for the review copy! Full review below 👇 fanfiaddict.com/review-we-ar...

I had so much fun with @pfracassi.bsky.social's old folk slash-'em-up, THE AUTUMN SPRINGS RETIREMENT HOME MASSACRE! This book is a real blast that's full of heart! Read my full review below 👇 @orbitbooks.bsky.social fanfiaddict.com/review-the-a...

“Trad Wife,” by @saratogaishere.bsky.social is, beneath its sourdough crust and all that gingham, politically engaged, quite rightly enraged and genuinely highly entertaining and cathartic in its excess. FEB 10th- @crookedlanebooks.bsky.social FEB 19th- @bantambooksuk.bsky.social

Up at FanFiAddict this Monday morning, my review of Matt Dinniman's upcoming stand-alone title, OPERATION BOUNCE HOUSE! This one hits awfully close to home given our present-day American dystopian, but it's overarching message is a soothing balm for the soul. #booksky fanfiaddict.com/review-opera...

The Best New Horror, you say? Well, I think I'd have to agree! @blackcrowbooks.bsky.social have put out an outstanding first volume in what I hope becomes a regular series! Here's to the future of Black Crow! 🐦 Full review below 👇 fanfiaddict.com/review-the-b...

Nothing boils my piss more than when I can't easily get my hands on a book I want. For example, the book has a limited print run, or it is not published in the UK. Well, obviously, things like Trump and Farage and ICE boil my piss more, but you get what I'm going for.

Please find my scifi #bookreview on FanFiAddict of Iconic by @aajonesauthor.bsky.social and @peterjaldin.bsky.social - a great take on the space opera genre with a slice of added fun. fanfiaddict.com/iconic-the-o... #scifibooks #scifi #booksky 💙🪐📚

The Fisherman is a tragic tale of two men's grief, the passion for fishing that bonds them, and the price they're willing to pay for what they want. With a deep sense of myth & foreboding, this is a dark tale I liked, with some caveats. Check out my full review 👇 fanfiaddict.com/review-the-f...

I KNOW A PLACE, @natcassidy.bsky.social's newest collection of short fiction - which includes the amazing Rest Stop - is a must-read serving of bite-sized terror, up there with King's Skeleton Crew. Thanks for the ARC @shortwavebooks.bsky.social! Full review 👇 fanfiaddict.com/review-i-kno...

PRAISE THE OMNISSIAH!!

Biggest pet peeve is someone sending me an email, then immediately calling me/walking to my desk and asking me if I've read it yet? No, I haven't read your email that hasn't even hit my inbox yet, and now I purposefully won't read it.

Happy Birthday to my emo awakening!

“A novel that cares not about being liked, but being felt, absorbed and endured, finished in a quiet state of ruin, “Wretch,” by @ericlarocca.bsky.social succeeds in all that it sets out to do, and for the record, I happened to like it too.” @titanbooks.bsky.social @sagapressbooks.bsky.social

ITCH! by @manylittlewords.bsky.social is a creeping, crawling, ant-infested femgore folk horror, that explores abuse, misogyny in tradition, and has some of the most squirm-inducing body horror moments I've ever read! Check out my review 👇 @hodderbooks.bsky.social fanfiaddict.com/review-itch-...
