I’ll see yall next year ✨

I'm excited for Breath and Bone, because, um, I've read all the rest. Except the Bay of Fundy. Not sure how one "reads" a bay. (maybe read the light, haven't ever shot the bay, so maybe) Anyway, @kvjohansen.bsky.social and her work is great.

I cannot stress enough that most ppl don't ever even think about calling their reps. I talk to ppl in my fam about it and they go "Huh? What?". But your reps work for YOU. They need to know what you actually care about. When we call in big numbers it ALERTS them, cuz they rarely hear from us.

Quick reminder!

It's a great book - recommended!

This Sunday, 12/14, we'll be at the Durham Geek & Grub Market (Holiday Nightmare Edition) from 12PM to 5PM at the Durham Armory. Books make excellent presents, and they're also very helpful when you can't stand another minute of the holidays... www.geekandgrubmarket.com/event-detail...

One of my favorite reads of 2025.

this is one of my favourite sff novels of recent years: deeply imagined and subtly crafted

If you've enjoyed The Map and the Territory, it would mean a lot to me if you were to review it! This book only has 27 ratings on Storygraph and 50 on Goodreads; I'd love to see it reach a wider audience.

Any conversation about genre in the 21st century (especially, but in no way limited to, folk-horror, horror and contemporary fantasy) that doesn't include the quiet, yet vivid underpinning of Hookland, is missing something vital.

An excellent thread, and an even better book.

wow?????!!!???? I did NOT expect this

It's Bandcamp Friday! My band Djinn And Miskatonic has music you can buy. Our most recent EP, Paleo: djinnandmiskatonic.bandcamp.com/album/paleo-ep

#Booksky We’ll be at #FablesandFlames Romantasy Gala this weekend and debuting our new badge ribbons and some cool extras! Signed books make great gifts and Catherine Lundoff and Michael Merriam will be there to help! Come say hi! fablesandflames.com

I love this series! I wrote about it for @skiffyandfanty.com earlier this year. skiffyandfanty.com/blog/book-re... And as @princejvstin.com pointed out, the 2025 novel means the Astreiant series, which started in 1995, will be eligible for a Best Series nomination for the Hugo Awards this year!

My wife of 29 years, bookbinder and book artist Jana Pullman, passed away in February after a long illness. She’s gotten some great memorials, including a posthumous award and a binding in a new exhibit at MN History Center. Here’s her take on that work: aboutthebinding.blogspot.com/2012/08/open...

By law, 8 insect parts are allowed in every Reese's Peanut Butter cup. It's his job to put them there. #booksky #newrelease

For all of #booksky looking for that funny cathartic read about this mess we've gotten ourselves into, look no further

Just released!

Passing thought brought on by sales figures & a book that had a dearth of official publicity: do you guys even know that Gods of the Caravan Road is a five-novel series, not four? Were you left hanging after Gods of Nabban? Moth's story continues! The Last Road. Grim. Dark. www.kvj.ca/last-road.html

Not to post spoilers or anything but someone knowing the difference between pedophilia and ephebophilia is a) a plot point in BlankAnon and b) a sign that the character is evil

Oh, I agree! I was privileged to publish Jessica Amanda Salmonson’s "Time-Slit Through a Rice Paper Window" in the Summer 1984 issue of Last Wave, and the final paragraph, which is not just about that story but all stories, gives me goosebumps still. A brilliant writer.

Snap up my complete Harwood Spellbook boxed set now as part of this amazing StoryBundle curated by Charlotte English, with books by @tillywallace.bsky.social , @tansyrr.bsky.social , @victoriagoddard.bsky.social, R.J. Blain, @kristadb1.bsky.social & more: storybundle.com/fantasy #romancelandia

This is a fun question because Blank spends pretty much all of BlankAnon dead below the waist

Excerpt from BlankAnon, which I wrote in 2021

The Leading Ladies Fantasy Bundle: You know how it goes. There's one female character in the book, and she's a love interest. She's given little to do and less to wear. She has no good lines, and nothing to contribute save her helplessness. These are not those stories. storybundle.com/fantasy

Reposting for the afternoon crowd!

#Signalboost here for book reviewer @mxphoebesviewpoint.bsky.social Things are pretty tough right now and there aren’t a ton of indie book reviewers who focus on queer books. Phoebe has to choose between keeping herself and her dog fed or keeping internet access - buymeacoffee.com/phoebesrandoms

New book from me! The sequel to The Executioner's Blade, another fantasy murder mystery full of monsters & intrigue.

I'm angry and I bet you are too! Howzabout a book where somebody fights back for a change

Release day for @weirdnoirmaster.bsky.social's BlankAnon! Bob Blank returns in his most desperate adventure yet - unless his spirit guide eats him first. www.candlemarkandgleam.com/2025/11/10/r...

Quick reminder - BlankAnon is out tomorrow!

SO EMPHATICALLY SECONDED! One of my forever-favourites,absolutely breathtaking!

If you haven't read The Map and the Territory by @amtuomala.bsky.social, then I strongly recommend you do. A beautifully written story about living and finding meaning when the world is falling apart, and how community can save you in more ways than one.

#Booksky In honor of Catherine Lundoff’s upcoming reading at DreamHaven Books in Minneapolis on 11/12, and in recognition of the numerous glowing scammy emails we’re getting about it, may we recommend her collection OUT OF THIS WORLD? Queer fantasy and sf short stories! books2read.com/b/3J88zg
