For all my #BookSky friends that are trying to move away from the Bezos infrastructure, just a reminder that Goodreads is owned by him through Nash Holdings. Clicks are currency friends @thestorygraph.com is a Black Woman founded company www.womenwhocode.com/blog/world-b...

If you’re afraid to write your book because you think its content stands no chance in the coming climate, Remember that banned books (and books victims thought the world would never see) are the only honest window we have into some of the darkest moments of history. Write the book. #booksky

The fundamental thread to trans people is not psychological in nature. It is legislative and material. Via Kai Cheng Thom on IG www.instagram.com/p/DFEM8qiySx...

Horror books by/incl trans masc authors that came out 2024. Please keep reading and sharing and supporting trans-authored work. I can personally vouch for all of these.

pay trans writers. publish trans writers. read trans writers.

Fitting day to finish an outstanding new horror novel, BAT EATER by Kylie Lee Baker. Searing commentary on systemic anti-Asian racism and violence amid the first year of the pandemic. Supernatural, body horror, unrelenting. I bought the UK edition because I couldn’t wait til April. 5 stars. #booksky

GOOD MORNING the 2025 horror list is LIVE! repost to destroy a TBR: readjumpscares.com/2025s-new-ho...

November was a banner month for horror! Four of my favorite reads: COUP DE GRÂCE by @sofiaajram.bsky.social SUCH LOVELY SKIN by @thebuffwriter.bsky.social DEAREST by Jacquie Walters (audiobook is read by the author and is fantastic!) MODEL HOME by @riverssolomon.bsky.social

I just finished THE UNIT by Ninni Holmqvist, translated by Marlaine Delargy, which I first read seven years ago. My favorite dystopian novel of all time, even more compelling the second time around. How wonderful to read a beloved work again through a new lens in a different time of your life.

A SIGNED special hardcover edition of TENDER IS THE FLESH? I’m passing out.

I know I’m missing a ton of people so help me finish this list! go.bsky.app/LSnQYYB

I don’t entirely know what I’m doing yet, but I’m here! Excited to find fellow queer horror folks 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
