I wrote a progress report on the novel series that I've been working on. The first book of the Akhand Saga, Harmony, is an anti-colonial, genre-bending science fantasy epic set against the Bengal Famine of 1943 and the machinery of the Second World War. salikshah.com/2025/11/akha...

New ARC review: Copper Skin, Oaken Lungs by Adam Bassett. A small town surrounded by malignant mist. A community at the brink of ruin. Intriguing blend of magic and tech. Dystopic steampunk vibes. paulgzareith.ink/book-reviews... #BookSky

More folks should try out this book. A dark, haunting experience combined with a sprawling, intricate plot.

Some things we’ll be looking for: - Eco-Horror - Eco-Gothic/Anti-Gothic - Haunted & Unhaunted Landscapes - Eco-Surrealism - Eco-Weird - Metaficton - Unreliable Narrators More details here 👇

The Chosen One Con is the first book in the Lost in the Aether duology—a queer gaslamp fantasy of industrial magic in a world of designer enchantments and celebrity-branded potions. It's part of @the-book-bazaar.com crowdfund launching November 12th! Follow it: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

BOOK REVIEW! I loved @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social's original entry into this series, and THE PAWNS OF HAVOC simply delivers more of it. If you're looking for a quick and fun fantasy novella, you can't do much better than this. 🔗 fanfiaddict.com/review-the-p... 💙📚🪐 #BookReview

Everyone involved with this performative waste of resources should be permanently banned from the legal profession…and from ever taking Tylenol.

Setting up a haunted house manually is tedious. Lets be smart about it...

Some of my favorite weird dark speculative fiction has come out from @apexmag.bsky.social over the years. They are extremely close to finishing their kickstarter. The more dark speculative stories in the world, the better :) kck.st/42QgIYS

Thank you, New York City. Now let’s win.

Book review! TOOTHSUCKER by @kadenloveauthor.bsky.social is a truly wild story with a unique mash-up of genres and tropes, with vampires born of cybernetic implants. I’ve never read anything quite like it. 💙📚🪐 #BookReview Full review on FanFiAddict: fanfiaddict.com/review-tooth...

Today, we have a review of The Final Voyage of Avery Mothmere, by Helen Whistberry. I nearly DNF'd this book, but stuck with it, adjusted my expectations, and now remember it fondly. Read the review first, then check out the book. /nils www.readindiefantasy.com/book-recomme... #SFINCS #BookSky

Today we're excited to reveal the cover for Wavelord by @authornikki.bsky.social, the third book in the Daughter of Vanris series, which began with Wave Dancer and shares the same world as YA fantasy The Warden’s Son: www.readindiefantasy.com/cover-reveal...

And another one by @powjay.bsky.social ! Sorry for the avalanche of posts, I was not online the last few days... A variety of people who all react in such different ways to this shocking and potentially life-threatening phenomenon. fantasy-faction.com/2025/when-th... 💙📚🪐 #FantasyFaction

A YA urban fantasy that feels both familiar and fresh — fast-paced, diverse, and genuinely fun to read. Smartly written with heart, humour, and kickass characters. A hidden gem for fans of lighter dark fantasy. fantasy-faction.com/2025/heart-b... 💙📚🪐 #FantasyFaction
