Should have a review next weeek, but I can tell you that it's an amazing book (and the concept of Philippines' Gothic is really well executed)

Based on true events, THE VILLA, ONCE BELOVED is a contemporary gothic horror set in a cursed manor on a coconut plantation—it’s got ghosts and witches and creepy crawlies and demons, plus a sexy gravedigging scene—and it’s out now

More info ⬇️

Foreground is text that reads: "The Villa, Once Beloved is a tale of eerie legacy, one branded with the mark of colonization and the haunting of family...Manibo steeps us deep in Filipino heritage, hierarchy, and history, crafting a tale that will keep your lights on at night."

The Second Death of Locke, by V.L. Bovalino (pub by @orbitbooks.bsky.social) is an excellent romantasy proposal, a lady knight novel that if you love yearning and slow burn romance, you will enjoy.

🔥Cover Art Reveal🔥

MIDWESTERN CHROME. Check out this gorgeous cover by Arianna Bosa!

The streets are brightly lit & promise you an unprecedented future, but they run with blood & broken dreams.

Weird Sci-fi Noir coming in 2026 from the author of TRVE CVLT🖤☠️

Alright sickos n scuzzoids, how about this neon-soaked beauty? I'm spoiled once again by @tenebrouspress.bsky.social who always brings in the coolest artists. Arianna Bosa nailed the assignment. Perfectly pulpy. A proper fit for something that's a bit of Hammett & PKD, but 100% 10p & yours truly.
"Midwestern Chrome" glitches in overlapping purple and yellow font. A neon soaked street, bathed in blue and purple hues. In the foreground, a man with sunglasses perched on his head holds a decapitated head, a bag at his side. The head stares with electric blue eyes. A passerby in a dark trench coat gazes over his shoulder. Art by Arianna Bosa.

No. It still gives her a boost and extra money to use for her hate campaigns. Just give up on it. There are plenty of better books, games and movies.

Phine’s power as a Syphon paired with her acquired ability to sense intentions. She tastes feelings, magic, & even auras. Truth is like rainwater while deception is earthy like black pepper. It gives her the tools to survive the dangers she only occasionally finds herself in.

Slow Gods, by Claire North (pub by @orbitbooks.bsky.social) is a superb space opera, a novel with a different narrative approach that stays with you long after finishing Maw's story.

"Almost like a fairytale for adults...combines Russian folklore with modern oddities to create an eerie, page-turning novel. Darya Bobyleva explores how a once simple society collapses when residents of a small village awake to find themselves trapped within a now impenetrable forest."

A promotional panel for The Village at the Edge of Noon by Darya Bobyleva, translated by Ilona Chavasse. The text reads: "Everything you were afraid to find out about the heat of noon and grandma's old tales comes together... Out now!"

ICYMI, a story of street gangs and sapphic romance against the backdrop of 1972 Singapore
jamreads.com Jamedi @jamreads.com · 5d
When They Burned the Butterfly, by @wenyilee.bsky.social (pub by @torbooks.bsky.social), is a great love letter to Singapore, a historical inspired fantasy that you will enjoy if you like sapphic romance, street gangs and grey characters.
