I, MEDUSA by @ayanagray.bsky.social is a compelling, tragic take on the ancient Greek myth. Gray's re-imagining paints Medusa as a "victim of power, abuse, and those that enable that abuse." My review: fanfiaddict.com/review-i-med...

Extremophile microbes, underhanded politics, and a group of people stuck at the South Pole for the winter...What could possibly go wrong? And Symbiote by Michael Nayak has all the X-Files vibes. 😊

Up at FanFiAddict, I'm talking about the latest ALIEN novel from @titanbooks.bsky.social, @shaunhamill.bsky.social's PERFECT ORGANISMS. Hamill finds his own unique hook into the familiar, giving us a strong character-first ALIEN book.

Guess I can give you a hint👀

🪐🔹

Might it be for a @solarisbooks.bsky.social title?
I’ll be having the honor of announcing something publishing related this coming Wednesday & I hope you’re ready for it 👀

If you told younger me, who was shy about sharing her bookish ravings, that one day she’d be helping her favorite authors share news abt their books, she might not believe it.

Forgiveness, betrayal, love, grief, and survival amidst the backdrop of a dangerous pathogen spreading rapidly through the passengers of an undersea vessel. This Gilded Abyss by Rebecca Thorne has lots of action, lots of emotion, and is an all-around great read.

BOOK REVIEW! I loved @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social's original entry into this series, and THE PAWNS OF HAVOC simply delivers more of it.

Full of emotion, genuine heart and even more genuine belly laughs, “Shitshow,” takes the best bits of Dr. Who and “Something Wicked This Way Comes,” the worst part of festivals, and smooshes it together into a stinky little horror comedy.
