What would you do if you woke up in the world of your favourite fantasy book... and knew a war was coming? This is the intriguing premise behind @ilonaandrews.bsky.social's brand new epic portal fantasy This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me, out today! 💙📚🪐

Excited to have a piece in the new issue of Hellebore!

Very happy publication day to @danaiwrites.bsky.social's stunning Vile Lady Villains 🗡️❤️ A cathartic, sapphic horror-romance adventure crossing time and space, with two incredible, fearsome main characters, this really does sound like a lot of fun! 💙📚🪐 #Romantasy

The author is also an illustrator! He's done a little video about the cover process here: youtu.be/Act5twd3MU0?... (And there are also illustrations throughout the book too. It's very cool)

It's April, and that means a new #SFF Book of the Month! What would you do if you (and everyone else) suddenly shrunk to 1/10th the size? Mikey Please's The Expanded Earth feels like The Borrowers meets Lord of the Flies: inventive, brutal, very fun and a little mad! 💙📚🪐

So looking forward to this, make sure you read Withered Hill, Scuttler’s Cove, and Scratch Moss before this as they are great and in the same folk horror ‘universe’

I’m doing a bit of research for a potential article on reading habits of SFFH fans. So, if you read SFFH do you also read other genres and if so, which ones? All answers welcome and reposts appreciated for visibility. Thank you!
