Out next week from @clashbooks.bsky.social is David Simmons' FETTY ON THE SWITCHES. @jonezyboy.bsky.social says, "There is a lot to unpack in Fetty on the Switches and if you happily accept absurd off-the-wall stories, there is plenty of fun on offer..." #booksky www.horrordna.com/books/fetty-...

@jonezyboy.bsky.social says there is gory fun to be had in Nick Cutter's THE DORIANS, but patience is required. #horror #booksky #amreading www.horrordna.com/books/the-do...

I have a new series of YA and Middle Grade horror articles over at @gnofhorror.com beginning with THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT, top tips for 10-11 year old & reviewed by the kids in my school as part of a school wide reading activity. These are the horror tips from the lists. gnofhorror.com/the-kids-are...

Check out my @horrordna.bsky.social review of @lmcknighthardy.bsky.social NIGHT BABIES, blessed with a superb unreliable narrator, friendship tension, unresolved clashes, and a quiet supernatural vibe rippling throughout the Welsh Brecon Beacons. Recommended! www.horrordna.com/books/night-...

Forget the sanitised stuff. Tony Jones's 100 Book Challenge produced 11,000+ pupil reviews. The data is clear: ten‑year‑olds want real horror. Twenty middle grade picks that actually work, backed by kids who do not lie about books. @jonezyboy.bsky.social

Thanks to @kevharrison.bsky.social & @thisishorror.bsky.social for featuring my latest @horrordna.bsky.social HYBRID NIGHTMARES piece in their '5 Must Read Horror Articles' weekly feature. Some very cool other articles too! www.thisishorror.co.uk/5-must-read-...

Dan Coxon's Come Sing for the Harrowing: folk horror in a Brixton Tesco, a medieval theme park, the Cheddar Gorge, a tropical resort. 18 stories that rebuild the subgenre from the inside out. @dancoxon.bsky.social @clashbooks.bsky.social

Here's a recent review of mine - treat this anthology with caution, it's brutal, extreme stuff, loaded with crackerjack stories. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Mexican psych band SUNSET IMAGES at the Strongroom last night. Brilliant three piece who make enough noise to rival a jumbo jet taking off. Loved checking out the guitar distortion pedals. Beauty at work!

In his review of Adam Nevill's latest, MONUMENTAL, @jonezyboy.bsky.social asks, "If there was a fight between the creature in The Ritual and the savage beast in Monumental, who do you think would win?" Check out his full review! #booksky www.horrordna.com/books/monume...

@jonezyboy.bsky.social says once @shmansouri.bsky.social's SCREAM LIKE A PRAYER finds its stride, it is "...captivating and totally riveting." #booksky #amreading #amreadinghorror #horror www.horrordna.com/books/scream...

@jonezyboy.bsky.social says Carter Keane’s debut, MORSEL, is a readable blend of creature and survival horror, with a sly sense of humour and a juicy slice of gore. #booksky #amreading www.horrordna.com/books/morsel...

@jonezyboy.bsky.social says @pfracassi.bsky.social's SARAFINA "...is another meaningful entry into what is developing into one of the strongest back catalogues in modern #horror fiction." Now out from @clashbooks.bsky.social. #booksky www.horrordna.com/books/sarafi...

SCREAM LIKE A PRAYER by @shmansouri.bsky.social is an absolute must read for fans of wacky, demon possessed & intense family driven horror. I loved this trip back to the 80s Satanic Panic! www.horrordna.com/books/scream...

Adam Nevill has been one of my favourite authors for years and his latest MONUMENTAL delivers both the fear and blood. Brutal stuff, check out my Horror DNA review here. www.horrordna.com/books/monume...

In my latest feature for @gnofhorror.com I take a deep dive into the Bram Stoker Middle Grade Award, this is an outstanding list, which even features a verse novel! gnofhorror.com/2025-middle-...

The 2025 Middle Grade Bram Stoker Award preliminary ballot is here. @jonezyboy.bsky.social Read all ten nominees, so you know which ghost stories deserve a spot in your school library or on your child’s nightstand.|| gnofhorror.com/2025-middle-...

The 2025 YA Bram Stoker Award ballot is reviewed in full. One book scores 9.5/10. One frontrunner may be too derivative to win. All ten ranked at Ginger Nuts of Horror. @jonezyboy.bsky.social

WOW! Just read an early ARC of @keithrosson.bsky.social CRONE, not out until Sept, but put it on your wish list & watch out for my 5/5* @horrordna.bsky.social review nearer the time. Keith blew it out of the park with last year's COFFIN MOON & this is every bit as good, brutal, powerful & moving.

Looking for a wildly creative and complex horror novel? @jonezyboy.bsky.social recommends J.H. Markert's DIG, now out from @crookedlanebooks.bsky.social! #booksky #amreading #horror #amreadinghorror www.horrordna.com/books/dig-j-...
