It “…casts an irresistible spell.” 😍 Thank you @joshwinning.bsky.social , author of the upcoming Be Still My Unbeating Heart, for the super sweet blurb for How (Not) to Conjure a Boyfriend!

Wow the first ep of WELCOME TO DERRY pulls no punches. It has the same strengths and weaknesses as the recent IT films—excellent kids, boring adults and brilliant monsters. Can’t wait to see where this goes.

#Booksky Spooktacular 2025 Day 24: Cancel culture meets campfire stories in @joshwinning.bsky.social’s Heads Will Roll, a sharp, twisty horror read that I devoured faster than a kid eats a s’more. This is a book completely secure in what it is, and what it is, is scary FUN.
Cover of Heads Will Roll by Josh Winning, depicting two marshmallow skewers and a bloody axe hanging over a red-tinted line of trees. Tagline: No phones. No feeds. No way out.

Have you picked up HOUSE OF IDYLL by @delilahsdawson.bsky.social yet?🎶

From the NYT bestselling author comes a darkly seductive tale of beautiful rock stars, sinister cults, and a magical oasis where dreams come true...for a price.

The Shadow Glass (2022) by @joshwinning.bsky.social is the best book I’ve read this year.

It’s a wildly underrated, emotionally grounded adventure story for anyone who grew up loving Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, or any Jim Henson-type media, but it also introduces its own wonderful lore and characters.

Camp slashers and bloody fun mystery - HEADS WILL ROLL by Josh Winning is now out in paperback! It’s a queer adult slasher novel about an actress at a summer camp for adults who hopes of leave behind her past mistakes. Perfect for fans of scream.

Buy it here: proud-geek.co.uk/product-page...
Book cover for Heads Will Roll by Josh Winning Blurb: After sitcom star Willow tweeted herself into infamy and had to be dragged blind-drunk out of a swimming pool, her agent shipped her off to the woodsy and wonderfully anonymous confines of Camp Castaway. Tucked away in the trees of upstate New York, Castaway is a summer camp for adults in desperate need of leaving behind their mistakes, their social media accounts, their lives. No real names, no phones…no way to call for help. Willow is relieved to find that her fellow campers seem okay. To her shock, her own favorite actress is here, sitting by the campfire and roasting a s’more. And did that jaded writer, Dani, just wink at her? But the peaceful vibe is shattered when a terrifying woman pops shrieking from the wardrobe in Willow’s room. Soon after, one of the campers vanishes. Is Willow about to get cancelled all over again, this time for good? Soon, terror grips the group, campers begin to lose their heads—literally!—and Willow and her new friends are on the run. As paranoia grows and disturbing past deeds come to light, this escape from their shallow lifestyles might just lead to a set of shallow graves.
