Hello! This gig has gone live for a Narrative Designer at Rebellion. A good part of it is implementation rather than writing, but there's some of that, too. Also, HUGE BONUS, you get to be on the same team as me! Hey, where are you going? apply.workable.com/rebellion/j/...

An impressively ambitious debut.

It’s clear that the protagonists (and writers) don’t have a coherent plan to overthrow Fisk.

When is a dark academia story actually dark enough for a grimdark fan?

A brutal sequel full of consequences, grief, vengeance, trauma, and painfully hard-earned growth.

Be careful who you get invested in.

It all begins with a sunken ship and the pulling of rotten heartstrings #booktok #acting #books

A truly powerful and gut-wrenching read.

What a bloody fucking brilliant book.

I am absolutely thrilled to be interviewing Heba Al-Wasity for Grimdark, where we discuss her roots, the inspirations behind her writing and what’s next in store for her.

We didn’t expect to love a fungalpunk police procedural series quite as much as we did in @adrianmgibson.bsky.social ’s Mushroom Blues. When Adrian offered us an exclusive extract of A Murder Most Fungal, also set in this weirdly wonderful world, “yes” was the only answer. Read Ch1 below!

Critically acclaimed and award-winning fantasy author R J Barker has been enchanting readers for years.

If you like your folk story tellings on the darker, twistier, slightly more bitter and creepy side, this probably isn’t the one for you.

A perfect melting pot of gothic horror and regency romance.

We all know fear. We all know what it feels like when there is nowhere to hide. Check out this short excerpt of actor Rebecca Hanssen reading a chilling dark fantasy story by Warhammer 40k legend @thetowerofstars.bsky.social . youtube.com/shorts/hNtR_...

We’re excited to announce that @adrianmgibson.bsky.social —author, publisher, podcaster—has joined the GdM team as a Publishing Project Manager to help drive our novella line. We are so excited to see what Adrian can achieve!

Polymers rarely receive the reverence granted to steel, stone, or exotic alloys in science fiction, yet they are the materials most willing to endure what space demands.

Revels in the uncanny, something’s-not-quite-right vibe, to great effect.

Awesome to see readers still discovering my collection, Neon Leviathan. An unknown author with an indie press (@grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social) - I don't think either of us expected it'd still be bubbling along in the punk underground, six years later.

One of the true horror experiences of the summer that are you simply not prepared for.

Commonly heralded as a master of the craft and one of fantasy’s greatest character writers, it’s time to celebrate Joe Abercrombie, First Law, and the impact Abercrombie’s work has had on the genre.

Tapeworm by A. P. Thayer has left me wounded, reeling, and repelled—and I absolutely adore it.

The fitful patter of the island's perpetual rain ... Cold Comforts is a chilling dark fantasy story written by @thetowerofstars.bsky.social and narrated by Rebecca Hanssen, inspired by the beautiful and--at times--utterly harrowing Scottish landscape. youtube.com/shorts/MWfDD...

A perfect mix of the wit of Pratchett, the city building of Scott Lynch and the unexpected emotional gut punches of Robin Hobb.

Perfect for lights-off, curtains-closed watching.

Tecken just does not miss.

Metro: Exodus is fine

Clark is one of the most reliably great voices working right now.

The Mischief of the Feathered Lord ... or the simple madness of an old man living too long ... Actor Rebecca Hanssen adds extra layers of life to the bitterly cold and rueful dark fantasy story by @thetowerofstars.bsky.social , Cold Comforts.

Some horror authors become the perfect scribes for a particular age.

If you want to read the novella I co-wrote with @phokion.bsky.social, you can get your hands on the first three parts in @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social (fourth coming soon) www.grimdarkmagazine.com/product/grim...

Ultimately, I don’t think Fonda Lee is capable of writing a bad book, but I fear she may be quite capable of writing a book that is just not for me.

Bloody, action-packed and horror-filled.

It is a team effort to get a book from an author’s mind into a reader’s hands, and book cover artists deserve their recognition.

Let’s see if we can get this #Unbroken Kickstarter to $1M, fellow #SFF fam! Amazing list of authors contributing, and an audiobook by @travisbaldree.bsky.social! :) Go check it out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/unb...

No-one makes me smile quite like Sebastien de Castell.

It feels as though director stardom moves in cycles. Spielberg. Coppola. Scorsese. Kubrick. These were names from the 70s and 80s that guaranteed quality, spectacle, and ambition.

Huge thanks to @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social for the fantastic review of "Play of Shadows"! 🙌 Thrilled to see Damelas' journey resonate with readers. Check out the full review here: www.grimdarkmagazine.com/review-play-... #PlayOfShadows #GrimdarkFantasy #BookReview

On Sundays She Picked Flowers by Yah Yah Scholfield opens with such stark violence, but written with such beauty, that I knew I was going to be hooked.

“Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me.” Rage Against the Machine shouted it. John Twelve Hawks makes a quieter, no less pointed statement to his readers.

It actually feels a bit rude how good Samantha Shannon is.

"THE horror book for our modern age" - a lovely review of Abyss from @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social www.grimdarkmagazine.com/review-abyss...

This is the horror book for our modern age.

I love that line: "I met Sylvain Neuvel’s writing through The Test in 2019, and it made a simple promise: no wasted motion, no soft landings, big questions delivered with the economy of a blade." Via @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social

I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys swashbuckling stories with complex protagonists, interesting villains, and a dash of hope in a dark and violent world.

We’re honored to bring you this interview with a powerful new voice in epic fantasy in A.S. Tamaki, who spoke to us about research, fantasy worlds, eastern philosophy, Japanese culture, and more.

If you have ever wanted to belong, The Many will make you question the price.

We talk with Stephen Graham Jones about the importance of short fiction, accolades in horror writing, juggling a day-job and how to balance horror with the horrific.

A non-stop ride of horror and humanity that seeks to honour the forgotten even as it takes your breath away with one of the best twists of the year.

As a serial series starter, I always love prequel novellas.
