Fascinating thread about the current state of the publishing industry from Delilah Dawson. Keep going DD, I've got a few of your YA books in my school library.
This is the thread I needed to hear today. Publishing is in the darkest moment I've seen in 14 years. I'm struggling, my friends are struggling, the industry is struggling. When writers gather together, we whisper our fears. All we want is to keep publishing, but there are no guarantees, these days.

One of the books of the year. Best vampire novel I've read for YEARS. So good, it's beyond description. Just wow.
Coffin Moon by @keithrosson.bsky.social is called the best modern vampire story ever by @stephenking.bsky.social I saw Joe Hill on his King Sorrow tour (which is a new favorite book), he had big praise for it too. They are not wrong. This book is a modern classic

WEREWOLF MOVIE is sitting on ZERO Amazon reviews! I however award this bizarre & unique gem of a novella the rarely given 5/5 @horrordna.bsky.social stars. Its more about aspiring late 80s musicians than werewolves, but its hypnotic, funny & a must for music lovers. www.horrordna.com/books/werewo...
Werewolf Movie
Easily the strangest werewolf story ever written, or is it really just about struggling musicians?

Love Phil Earle! I've had this on order for my library for a couple of weeks, hasn't turned up yet. Sounds like this graphic novel version does the brilliant original justice.
I’ve just finished this wonderful graphic novel version of Phil Earle’s When the Sky Falls and it’s such a powerful book. Friendship between a boy and an ape, as well as a boy and a girl - both beautifully examined. Adapted by Fred Fordham.
