"14th March. There was something even more inward-facing about her this morning, as though she'd stepped away from the world and was existing a few feet above herself... She'd come straight from bed, and was still wearing her pink silk bonnet and wrapped in a trench coat."

Well, well, well if it isn't my favourite troubled half-fey king ❤️ Doesn't @benaldersonauthor.bsky.social's tetralogy look gorgeous all together! @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social @littlebooklight.bsky.social @caramalines.bsky.social

Now THIS is a cover. I know it’s minimalistic but I love it. It’s cool as fuck. I’m excited to read this one! Thank you for the ARC @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social #booksky

Cady Meade from Gogmagog. She's a kind of humanoid-plant hybrid being. So she'd probably be the closest I could get, as a vegetarian, to my preferred taste range. She's also a seadog, so I reckon there'd be a nice savour of salty seaweed crisps there, which I'm very partial to. #MorbidImagining

Halfway through the open-for-pitches period! You've got a fortnight more to think about an essay topic and propose it to the journal!

It's this brilliance by @tinywriterlaura.bsky.social 🖤 angryrobotbooks.com/books/awaken...

Aye, it's ridiculous. Thank you so much for writing this piece. I'm reading a novel by a fellow disabled person & I'm tearing up at the inclusion of M.E. in a gripping genre book - this is why we need to support disabled authors in this industry. And non-disabled authors need to do much better

📢Blog Tour📢 Symbiote by Michael Nayak is a mash up of tension, horror, and action. The book flows, giving the reader a chance to calm down, only for the action to reignite. Out 11 Feb #Symbiote The Sfbook.com review: sfbook.com/symbiote.htm @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social @caramalines.bsky.social
