It’s October, Halloween month, and the perfect time for me to yell about one of my favourite authors, @azaleacrowley.bsky.social!

A connoisseur of cozy horror romance.

Start with Odd Blood, one of my all time comfort books, about an autistic Filipino-American woman and a himbo vampire.

If you haven’t read any of @azaleacrowley.bsky.social’s work, this is the perfect season to dive in! All romance, with varying degrees of horror, and all phenomenal! 🍂🎃🔪

I am once again begging you all to read Odd Blood by @azaleacrowley.bsky.social!!

A demisexual, autistic Filipino-American woman falling for a himbo vampire while hanging out with his hilarious bickering vampire family. I’m a HUGE vampire fan and this book is incredible.

Currently reading this orc x demon romance novel, with two connected stories set in a TTRPG-inspired cowpoke-style world and loving it!

The first story is ADORABLE. Stoic Paladin orc and the grumpy demon he’s always loved. 🥰 Can’t wait to read the second story by @azaleacrowley.bsky.social. 📚💙 📚❤️

Wow way to do me dirty Metricool 😆 first you don’t post to blueksy and now when I copy my caption to post directly, I miss the part about editing the post? 🫣 I’m too disabled for my own human error 🥲

It’s a twisted treat!
Chomp Chomp is what happens when Why Women Kill moves to Roswell.
80s vibes with 50s aesthetic horror romp that’s as campy and cozy as it is carnivorous.
