Get your biscuits and tea, sit down in your favorite chair and be prepared to meet final girl Rose and the other elderly people in @pfracassi.bsky.social awesome book about a slasher in a retirement home. Fracassi breathes life (and death) in his characters and entertains and thrills the reader.

Looking forward to number 4.

I finally got to see Clown In a Cornfield and I really enjoyed it. I hope many people will continue the story @adamcesare.bsky.social created by reading the trilogy as there's so much more to Quinn and Frendo.

With her Sworn Soldier books @tkingfisher.com is creating her own universe of classic storytelling by expanding and revitalising older tales. Book 3 What Stalks The Deep is a perfect blend of mystery, horror and humor and I hope we'll get more adventures with Alex Easton @titanbooks.bsky.social

By far one of the goriest, bleak, most daring and compelling horror stories I've read this year. There's so much emotion pouring through these pages written by @ajwhiteauthor.bsky.social To me horror is meant to push bounderies and mirror our current society and this book does just that and more.

Looking for a slasher that's fast paced, fun and takes many stabs towards fancy yoga retreats, spirtual leaders and gongs? Then @brianmcwriter.bsky.social has written the book for you.

Surrealist queer kink horror fiction that has an eerie unsetting ending. This book by @haileypiperfights.bsky.social for sure isn't for everyone but The King In Yellow will lure in those who understand.

How to make the mundane horrific? @claymcleod.bsky.social found a way to bring scariness to objects like a fireplace and a hammer while also showing we're all only one blink away of going bat shit crazy. Great short story collection. Published by @titanbooks.bsky.social

Current news is horrifying so once in a while it's nice to read a book that makes you laugh. @scalzi.com did that again. It's scifi about the end of the world and a whole lot of cheese.

xroldx @xroldx.bsky.social · Apr 27

This is without a doubt one of the best, thrilling, ghoulish, haunting and fun horrorwestern I've ever read. I take off my hat for @alexgrecian.bsky.social

Library Card at Kroongetuige Festival, Tilburg

xroldx @xroldx.bsky.social · Apr 24

Books about time travel are very tricky to get right. Often they get lost in explaining the science behind the fiction. But @pfracassi.bsky.social wrote a book that's more about being human and loving your loved ones in a time of corporate greed. It's relatable scifi with a soul.

Some of the best music journalism I've read this year.

Deafheaven return to harsh vocals and crushing intensity on new album 'Lonely People With Power,' and the results are staggering.

Read our Premature Evaluation review:

Premature Evaluation: Deafheaven 'Lonely People With Power'

We’ve been here before, but let’s go back. Could we just go back? To “Mombasa,” I mean. The last minutes of “Mombasa,” the last song on Deafheaven’s last album, 2021’s Infinite Granite.
