"Are you ready to die?" A perfect -and fun- book for your American Lit reading list! Not only a classic slasher thriller but an often painful examination of how society treats our aging citizens! Old people just die right? Hmm... @pfracassi.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"What the fuck am I doing?" If you could bring the love of your life back from the dead, would you do it? Even if that meant they became a blood-thirsty, flesh-eating zombie? A love story with plenty of guts and gore! @tayloradamsbooks.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Something moved inside him." An absolutely delicious, icky creature feature! If you're like me & have a dislike or even utter phobia about spiders and/or hospitals, you're in for a spine-tingling treat! So much creepy fun! @bridgettnelson.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"When angels bleed, all of Heaven trembles." A unique horror tale with elements of fantasy as well as what I'd call "theological realism". It explores the "what ifs" when angels & demons walk among us. KEY: just how far can the echoes of evil travel? #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

Friends, you need this whole collection in your, um, collection! Each and every one a joy to read. You'll laugh your silly bones to the breaking point! And yes, my metaphors and similes are rather weak but still ... #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

Name someone who could manage all three currently vacant positions! ------------------------- British PM: Vacant James Bond: Vacant Doctor Who: Vacant If the King disappears in the next couple of weeks I think we may sink into the ocean.

"There is no life. No death. There is nothing in the dark." A timeless story full of terror, heartbreak, grief, fantastic characters, eldritch horror & more. This was an exhausting, emotional tale but so good! A must read!!! @ceejthemoment.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

At the Reflecting Pool, and guys, this doesn't look right. (P.S. I have officially died laughing...)

Poor little algae-covered snowflakes!

At the Reflecting Pool, and guys, this doesn't look right...

"…it looks like there could be big trouble this weekend." Another wacky thrill-ride of a read! Things get pretty crazy & pretty crime-ridden, well, pretty fast as the good guys face a MAGAesque gathering of hateful a-holes! @whiskey-leavins.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"The point is - it has no point." What a fun, schlocky tribute with wild twists & turns! A thrilling if not somewhat uneven read about the serious business of making horrible horror movies w/ no budget, no equipment, & very little -if any- talent. #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"everyone and without exception everyone has a dog story to tell." Although I did not embrace the "free-verse poetry" style of this book, it was still a v.enjoyable read. Who knew werewolves could have such intense emotions while running amok in L.A.? #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"I only tried to be human." This was a deceptively nerve-wracking & übertense read. The ending alone had me sitting up well into the night after I was finished, wondering just how I missed all the clues along the way. Loved it! @andrewpyper.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"…beauty is pain and pain is beauty." Pam has poor self-image due to years of bullying. Her psyche finally cracks when a colleague gets "work" done! But when Pam snaps, she really snaps! Along w/ a disgraced plastic surgeon they do unspeakable things! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"All right, men, are we ready to beat the shit out of our coworkers?" Funny z-tale w/ a lot of the usual themes of the genre. Avg. folks trying to survive the apocalypse that has broken out at their HQ. Z's as free labor? What could possibly go wrong? #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"From dust we are born, and to dust we shall return." The gun-slinging, anti-hero James Crowley - the undead, demon-slaying Hand of God - is back! Set in the pioneering days of the Old West, this is a thrilling ride with monsters from Heaven & Hell! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"The Queen" is a v.good but definitely shocking creature feature. It has more than its share of gore for fans of same, incl. showing us how & why the villain is as truly insane as he is! Overall, truly entertaining scenario w/ great characters! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Just wanted to be a good neighbor and welcome you home." This was an unsettling & even shocking experience. It's one of those books that makes you wonder what qualifies as horror vs. being just a story that is horrifying or has elements of same in it. #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"This is only the beginning." This was such an exciting - and gory - story, delivered with fast-pacing & even eloquent writing. Above all else, this book was FUN & I had a blast! Please see my full Goodreads review for more! @timmeyer.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"This was sick, sick, sick!" An enjoyable read, but it had more potential than what we got to see. The climatic battle scene & final reveal were a bit of a let-down. But a well-told & -executed crime thriller for sure. @jeffstrand.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"This may be, in fact, the first time that history is written by the losers." Females of all ages have had enough w/ misogyny, sexism & worse! Now they're turning into rampaging zombies! Will MANkind survive? Very original!! @rickwoodwriter.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Well, shit. That’s weird." A fantastic hom(m)age to the world of schlocky horror films! We've got vampires, zombies, & mad dog backwoods killers w/ chainsaws! Loved how the different scenarios held up so well on their own! @bryansmith.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"This has always been about the truth." This is a wonderfully told story about a young girl who is supposedly abducted by aliens & how the "grown-ups" around her do all they can to profit from her fame. Powerful! @sandersjacob.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"…if I wasn’t Satan already, some days I’d swear I was out to get me." A funny tale that you can enjoy if you're a fantasy fan, a fan of historical fiction, or even superhero, mystery, & spy-thriller stuff-ses. I had a blast! @raybendici.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"I would always remember how delicious he’d tasted." A somewhat slower paced cannibal read which works v.well. The v.strong emotional aspects tale can be digested (ah bad pun!) w/out perhaps as much pure horror as others. @lucyrosecreates.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"You might think you’re just reading a book, but the Devil lies in wait…" Tho' it left me wanting, PK does a good job showing how the scourge& utter hypocrisy of religious fundamentalism eats away at society& humankind, esp. with today's news in mind! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"She didn’t want to lose the hearse. It meant too much." Spooky YA offer coming this Sept.'26 w/ scads of teenage angst, tragedy, grief, & an Earth-ending hellscape if you know where to look. A very original & enjoyable read! @sandersjacob.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"You're a monster..." IMPORTANT: Splatterpunk; read trigger warnings! Very gruesome! An overweight & depressed young woman takes a mysterious supplement to lose lbs. quickly! But when it starts to devour her from inside, what will she do to survive? #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"…who knew what horrors the night might still deliver." Each of the 3 DC books I've read has an environmental angle, esp. how much it is influenced by the actions of man … or often the lack thereof. A tense "invented cryptid" read! PS BAD OTTERS! Yuck! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"The spider in me salutes the fly in you." Once again, SGJ has left me reeling & confused. Follow along w/ this unreliable narrator who btw is an insane serial killer. You have to see how this "kept" man lives to believe it! @stephengrahamjones.com #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Be careful, Mr. Smith. These are dangerous times." Book 6 in the series is now out kids! Great humor, fantastic fantasy, & adventure that grabs you & screams "hell yeah!" in your face with anything BUT its inside voice! @christullbane.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

Tell us your pet's name with a gif.

"I’m trying so hard to be normal." A gut-wrenching & sickening look at a young woman's decay & descent from a scorned, often jealous girl to an absolute killing freak. More than just a little effed up... but deliciously so! @amberdeanauthor.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"I’ve heard you talk in there. You’re dead inside." As much fun as one can have hanging out with a group of serial killers for a few hours! A mystery with tons of twists & turns + a great ending that will shock & amaze! @saratogaishere.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Oh you can tell she's really enjoying the special attention from Heathcliff... but will she realize in time that he is, in fact, no longer breathing?" - Smothering Heights

"Trespassers will be prosecuted." Even though it still has his signature great writing, Adam L.G. Nevill's latest book did not resonate with me. I found the cast really unlikeable & the story lacked the connection I've found with other offers. Oh well. #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"He'd done it. Peace. At long last." An intriquing & quick read. Didn't really think it was "horror" per se (power tools to the genitals? Pfft, please…) but a lot is truly "horrify-ing". Instead, this was one of the most tragic stories I've ever read! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Immortality’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Same deal with resurrection." A really fun read with a great blend of action, intrique, & just a ton of, well, call 'em "WTF-isms". For more, please check out my GoodReads rvw! @loogenhausen.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"What remains when iteration ends?" Happy Launch Day to @tomdellaringa.bsky.social with "Void Refrain"! The Deep's most famous Dynamic Duo -John & Alvis- are up to their old tricks again! Fun times & utter chaos are a given! Such a great series! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

OK, not sure if this will work on Bluesky, but I post these "read-a-thon" summaries on Instagram pretty regularly. The theme this time was books based in Scotland. And naturally, my love of horror and scifi should be very apparent! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"He was wrong. He’d not caught the monster. It had caught him." Call the scyfy channel, this could be the next "Sharknado" or "Cocaine Bear"! Even though it contains tons of death & mayhem, it's more unintentionally funny than horrifying. #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"We are all manifold. There are bright angels and dark demons in each of us." Beautifully written wildly twisting mystery & gripping horror tale. Filled with misdirection of the highest sort! NOT a re-telling! @craigrussellauthor.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"The whole thing, clearly, was mad." A fun break from my "usual", tickling my funnybone completely. I mean, who wouldn't want a job (it was still on the web!) on a Scottish isle helping hide aliens from the rest of the world? @rexburke.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚
