The Maiden and Her Monster, by @maddiesmartinez.bsky.social (pub @torbooks.bsky.social) is an excellent dark fantasy novel, a Jewish inspired story with complex politics and sapphic romance; a note-worthy debut.

⚔️The omens of war will be heard by all ⚔️

Lovecraft meets George R.R. Martin meets Marcus Aurelius and Jean-Paul Sartre in this cosmic horror fantasy. Grim but never gratuitous, morally grey, and psychologically intense.

Coming February 2026! 🔗👇🏻

What Gareth said.

NOTHING sells books better than the enthusiasm of a friend or someone whose opinion you trust who has read it.

(Which is not to say that publishers should rely on it.)

Gareth L. Powell @garethlpowell.bsky.social · 13h

Word of mouth is important to a book's success. So, if you'd like to see the authors who wrote your favourite stories commissioned to write more, please keep talking about all the #books you love.

A last reminder!

Jamedi @jamreads.com · 1d

The Captive, by Kit Burgoyne (pub by @titanbooks.bsky.social) is an excellent horror novel that while painting the evil of late-stage capitalism also gives us a great character dynamic, all with many great action scenes.

You could, if you wished, read my folk horror novels WITHERED HILL & SCUTTLER'S COVE this spooky season, and thus be prepared for the third, SCRATCH MOSS, published in March. All standalones but subtly linked. Paperback, ebook and audiobook formats from all good (and possibly some rubbish) vendors.

I've decided that whilst critical success is lovely, I'd like to sell some books.

If you liked EXTREMOPHILE, recommend it to a pal! (If your pal is fucking COOL and not a narc)

Eco-terrorism biohacking body horror, smart shit with dumb characters. Your new favourite book

Ian Green @ianthegreen.bsky.social · Oct 30

'A visceral, doesn't-give-a-damn biopunk thriller that treats the "punk" part of that subgenre not as mere window-dressing but as an antifascist shriek... vital and urgent SF that reaches places realist writing never could' ― @interzone.press

If you like cool shit get this 🕶️
