Monstrous Nights - A Solid Finale! #booksky #review @gen-dimova.bsky.social thelittlecorner.home.blog/2025/01/24/m...

“The Foul Days have begun…The New Year was born, but it hasn’t been baptised yet. The monsters roam the streets freely.” - from my current read: Foul Days by @gen-dimova.bsky.social Feels very accurate for how 2025 has started. #booksky #currentlyreading

Time to bring back my favourite reads on the second half of 2024. I strongly recommend to check them as I think there's a book for everybody in this list. Full list: jamreads.com/articles/jam... 💙📚

We are joined by a team of fantastic authors of epic fantasy to celebrate the release of @annabelcwrites.bsky.social's debut novel, The Outcast Mage, and discuss the glories of the genre! Annabel will be joined by @justinleeanderson.com & @lrlam.bsky.social

I wrote up a newsletter about my favorite stuff from 2024. Some great books, games, and movies that helped get me through a strange year. johnwiswell.substack.com/p/my-favorit...

As my wife and I travelled home from Sweden, I finished this gem of a book! @gen-dimova.bsky.social - if Foul Days was amazing, this one is astounding! What a great read! (And perfect to read in winter.)

Monstrous Nights is simply excellent; I loved each page of the Witch's Compendium to Monsters, because I love Slavic inspired fantasy, and @gen-dimova.bsky.social has nailed it. Full thoughts: jamreads.com/reviews/mons... 💙📚

Foul Days - Soellbindingly Good! #bookreview @gen-dimova.bsky.social thelittlecorner.home.blog/2024/11/27/f...

Foul Days by @gen-dimova.bsky.social - Inspired by Balkan folklore, this book follows a witch and a detective as they hunt for a stolen shadow in a monster-ridden city. This was so effortlessly readable and unexpectedly funny. I particularly enjoyed the dynamic between the two main characters.

I had a great time chatting with Marco and Tariq - thanks for having me!

Cannot begin to describe how excited I am for this!

This Saturday! Come and see me and @julieleong.bsky.social chat with Catriona Silvey about cosy and dark fantasy in Waterstones West End in Edinburgh!

I cannot believe I finally get to announce this. An unhinged dream, so many years and monologues in the making. I'm elate to announce my debut novel VILE LADY VILLAINS, a horromantasy about Klytemnestra and Lady Macbeth, will be published with Penguin Michael Joseph in 2026.

Had so much fun at our event with @samkhorton.bsky.social at Waterstones Argyle Street yesterday, chaired by the brilliant @megintransition.bsky.social, chatting about Sam's amazing debut Gorse and my sequel Monstrous Nights. Thanks to everyone who came!

Thanks so much for the lovely photos, Neil! What a fun night.

🇬🇧UK BOOK TOUR 🇬🇧 I'm so excited to visit the other side of the pond for THE TELLER OF SMALL FORTUNES w/ Lucy Jane Wood, @gen-dimova.bsky.social, Catriona Silvey, and @elizachanwrites.bsky.social! Come catch me in London, Edinburgh, or Liverpool - links @ www.julieleong.com/events (or on Waterstones)

The week at @strangehorizons.bsky.social, with three reviews: @ianjsimpson.bsky.social on @gen-dimova.bsky.social, Racheal Chie on Dana Evyn, and @dfitzgerraldo.bsky.social on @jordanrothacker.bsky.social. In each case, a focus on the deep wells of traditions drawn on: folklore, fairy-tale, myth.

Doing a ton of travel today and @gen-dimova.bsky.social's FOUL DAYS is making it much more entertaining. A novel about a lovable witch and a ton of creatures I grew up hearing about from my grandma but that I never get to see in Fantasy.

Still a chance to grab tickets for this event in Glasgow from two brilliant writers from the ESFF community. If you like folklore… this is for you.
