From a formidable talent in Brazilian fiction comes a lyrically rich & devastating novel about the kidnapping of Indigenous children, the story of a Miranha girl, and the young woman in the modern day who stumbles across a sketch of her in a museum THE JAGUAR'S ROAR by Micheliny Verunschk - 02.07.26

From the author of MAKE A HOME OF ME comes a gothic tale of love and loneliness, yearning, alienation, and the unholiest of unions... Inspired by Scottish folklore, Vanessa Santos' debut novel is coming this October to chill your twisted little heart 🏰

I'm obsessed ✨

DECOMPOSITION BOOK ❤️ by Sara van Os is a love story between Savannah (neurotic; compulsive; Hot Mess™) and Ava (corpse). Ava makes the ideal companion - she's a great listener, she's not going to leave any time soon - how can Savannah NOT fall for her? Or, at least, what's left of her.

TFW you're proofreading a book and you have to go get another cup of tea instead because it's so sad and lovely that it's making you cry. (looking at you, @deadinkbooks.bsky.social)

Here’s some more 2026 books that I’m looking forward to this year 👀 What have you got your eye on?

A cracking start to the year from @deadinkbooks.bsky.social, A Beast Slinks Towards Beijing is a great novel from Alice Evelyn Yang #books

A nice haul of the weird and uncanny from @deadinkbooks.bsky.social They’ve got a sale on so had to fill my boots #booksky

The Muslim Cowboy, another great fiction book from @deadinkbooks.bsky.social, this one exploring post war Iraq and the impact of conflict on the country and the people who live there...

If you want to buy a gift for a writer, this collection is a steal and a trove. You may end up beta-reading their uncanny scifi magical murder mystery in six months' time, but wouldn't that be fun? (From @deadinkbooks.bsky.social - many other 50% off deals.) deadinkbooks.com/product/writ...

Very happy to receive this in my stocking @deadinkbooks.bsky.social

My final #BookReview of the year is one from my backlist...the beautiful, weird and terrific Monstrilio by Gerardo Sámano Córdova from @deadinkbooks.bsky.social Here's what I thought 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR_r...

What a treat to come home to. Thank you, @deadinkbooks.bsky.social!

Just read the first story from this anthology from @deadinkbooks.bsky.social. Love @dancoxon.bsky.social’s intro - was inspired to jot some ideas down for first time in months. Then there’s I am the House by @gradyhendrix.bsky.social Woah! 👏👏👏 Can’t wait to read the rest …

For those in the UK, just wanted to put on your radar that @deadinkbooks.bsky.social is republishing Randall Keenan’s first novel, A Visitation of Spirits, as part of their Outside Classics series and yours truly has written the introduction. Pre-order your copy today!

New Review - a brilliant short story collection showing there is still a lot to do with the idea of the haunted house. I strongly recommend Unquiet Guests edited by Dan Coxon out now with stunning stories to unsettle - officially out next week go get it! www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2025/10...

Monstrilio, by Gerardo Sámano Córdova, is a wonderfully weird book which follows the lives of our central characters Magos, Lena, Joseph and M. This monstrous yet loving novel discusses themes of grief, sadness, identity and sexuality, to name a few1/5 @samanito.bsky.social @deadinkbooks.bsky.social

With the addition of UNQUIET GUESTS (out 30th Oct from @deadinkbooks.bsky.social ed. @dancoxon.bsky.social) I have finally outgrown my brag shelf and now have a... brag stack, WTAF?? 2020 - early October 2025.

When a mysterious illness strips them of their memories, a group of strangers must re-learn how to navigate the world. 'The Definitions' is a hauntingly prescient tale of oppression, the policing of language, and human connection! 📚🍂 OUT NOW from @deadinkbooks.bsky.social buff.ly/Re5Cizw

Wouldst thou step across the threshold, and dwell where walls do whisper and shadows keep their counsel? These pages do not comfort. Ten voices, dark and diabolical, do bid thee enter… and once thou art inside, thou shalt not depart unchanged. deadinkbooks.com/product/unqu...

excuse the dog-earedness, but never has the phrase 'well-loved' been more apt. I was sent a gratis copy of this by the fantastic team at @deadinkbooks.bsky.social and it's easily in my books of the year (perhaps no. 1!) thank you, Jordan Prosser, for this 'timely' work- hilarious and heartfelt.
