Today's #wipsnip word is 'run'. What I love about this scene in The Ante is the friendship between Rob and Card bringing levity to a tense situation.

The final book of my #52booksin52weeks challenge was King of Ashes by @blacktopkid.bsky.social . I've read four books of his this year and this one had the bleakest ending, but also some of the most real characters I've read in a crime novel. #booksky #bookrecommendations #readingchallenges

BLACK MIRROR × SEVERANCE × THE GOOD PLACE

Having a happy death is a luxury service for the rich and Wren is the rising top salesman—until a cynical coworker and a depressed billionaire force him to rethink it all in a world where even your last smile has a price tag.

#QuestPit #A #S #SF #W
Made from non-AI free stock images. This image is a book cover design for a novel titled "Happy Death Inc." by B. Van Bodegom. The cover is divided into three distinct horizontal sections: 1. Top Section: Features a cartoonish blue sky with white clouds and a bright sun. At the top, a tagline reads: "How much would you pay to die with a smile?" The word "HAPPY" appears in large, playful, hand-drawn-style font, partially overlapping the sky background. 2. Middle Section: A photograph of a deceased man in a suit, lying in a casket. He has an exaggerated smile on his face, almost unnaturally wide and clean, suggesting artificial enhancement or post-mortem alteration. Overlaid on this image is the word "DEATH" in the same large font as the previous word. 3. Bottom Section: A cartoon city skyline in pastel tones, similar in style to the top sky background. The word "INC." is overlaid prominently in the same large font. At the very bottom: A novel by B. van Bodegom

I've officially started writing a horror/slasher novel. We're in the early stages, with only act one complete, but I'm excited to share this sneak peak of my villain.

This is one of many fantastic quotes in King of Ashes. Literary crime thrillers are my favorite!

This week I'm reading King of Ashes by SA Cosby. He's become my favorite author of 2025, so I thought it would be fitting to read his latest novel to complete my 52 book challenge.

Happy Halloween!
Book 51 of 2025 was Casual Necromancy by Ryan Krone. A fun collection of dark short stories about residents of a small neighborhood. It takes the "How well do you really know your neighbors?" question to the extreme. #quotes #horror #shortstories #booksky

Book 50 of 2025 was not a book at all. Wilted Flowers by Despoina Kemeridou is a poetry collection that delves into grief, madness, despair, and, finally, hope. In this real is an Acrostic poem named Truth. #poems #poem #poetry #darkpoetry #darkveilsociety

Book 49 of 2025 was Death Cult by Janelle Schiecke. The same way The Clatter Man captured the feelings of slashers like Candyman and Friday the 13th, this story captures the essence of the Wrong Turn and The Hills Have Eyes franchises. It's a story of isolation and cannibalistic terror. #booksky

Book 48 of 2025 was Toadhead by Andrew Lyall. This was both gory and funny. It starts out with a good bit of dark humor and quirkiness that turns into a truly terrifying ending. Get it here

Book 47 of 2025 was The Last Outlaw by Lee Hall. I loved the blending of genres between old western and horror! Also, based on the last chapter I think this is a prequel to a series. Pick it up here

Book 46 of 2025 was Sinner's Pass by @S_S_Fitzgerald. The premise of a boy lost in a town where the sins of its residents manifest as literal demons is crazy fun.

I've been a gamer my whole life and this book reminds me of playing Silent Hill the first time.

This week I'm reading Sinner's Pass by @S_S_Fitzgerald. Sounds like a mystery novel within the setting of a religious horror which is a cool premise.

Book 45 of 2025 was Echoes of Betrayal by @moiraAshe93. This book was heartbreaking and had twists I genuinely didn't see coming.
However, very strong trigger warning for SA. Read my full review at www.tomrameytales.substack.com
