Harry Connolly (@byharryconnolly.bsky.social) is one of my fave authors.
He needs $ help. harryjconnolly.com/17553-2/
For a good binge read, grab his completed epic fantasy trilogy The Great Way.
His "A Key, an Egg, an Unfortunate Remark" is the best standalone urban fantasy I've read.

This was the single best thing I read this week. I'm not a metal head, but I respect and admire both as a genre and, as a quoted fan calls it, "a strange road to joy".
“Heavy music teaches us things such as we’re not alone; when life is dark, we do something about it. We’re not just a prisoner to that darkness. But also that our risk fluctuates, that our misery isn’t gonna last forever. There are ways through it.”
