I’m exploring some Bluesky features and will be curating a list of our Black Library authors. Will be an ongoing WIP as I find more or more join. 🤘

Nice choices! Elemental Council is magnificent. Noah’s blog is excellent, too. Here’s one well worth reading

The Fantast Talks: Becoming a Writer, Researching Elemental Council, and Why Horses Are Weird

Noah discusses topics recommended by you. He also realizes people and horses aren't that different.

Definitely gateway drugs (in a good way)!! 🤘

The Black Librarian @theblacklibrarian.bsky.social · 1d

Totally relatable! I have to be very opportunistic to find slots where I can sneak in a non-BL book, since most of my reading is for reviewing

It’s next after I finish Remnant Blade. I really enjoyed Dominion Genesis so I have high hopes!!

The Black Librarian @theblacklibrarian.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks Justin!! 🤘

The Black Librarian @theblacklibrarian.bsky.social · 1d

Stunning for sure. I can’t imagine how it must have felt for you to unbox one the first time!

The Black Librarian @theblacklibrarian.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks Paul, always enjoy seeing what you’re up to!

Loved to see this. For many of us fans of the Night Lords, the rejection of the seduction of Chaos is a feature, not a bug.

Anyway, you can preorder this, if you like. Got dog people in it. And fish people. And elves. Some halflings. No space marines, though. www.manticgames.com/kings-of-war...

My childhood has voted RotLD the scariest horror movie of all time. It wasn't a choice, it just happened- but Tarman had a lot to do with it.

Even well into adulthood, I'd get the occasional bit of willies when it rained and had to go get something from the car.

Shit the bed somehow on my #Warhammer 40K Dawn of War mission, so rather than take another run at it I threw on some @czarinaofficial.com and dove back in to working on my @goonhammer.com #BlackLibrary coverage. These words won’t write themselves…

Enjoyed the review, Alex! I have to say your comment section was spicier than I’m used to, but there’s certainly an interesting question being asked here.

In the new 'Beyond the Black Library' feature, we look at the work of #BlackLibrary writers in other universes. First up, it's Josh Reynolds with a #LegendOftheFiveRings detective story!

Let us know if you'd like to see more pieces like this. 😊

Happy book birthday to THE INFINITE AND THE DIVINE, which released in hardback five years ago today!

Thanks so much to everyone who’s taken the ride with these two on their ten-millennia tropical vacation disaster.
