Anyone heard of booktrovert? Came to my attention because of a book riot email. Wondering if anyone is using.

AI has even infiltrated my puzzle hobby. I went to go buy another puzzle and I scrolled and scrolled and they're all fucking AI If you have octogenarian hobbies like myself, Puzzeldly has a whole section dedicated to no-AI puzzles

I cannot believe that bioware is just gone. Unbelievable.

I’m going to come right out and say it: I think Richard Swan’s Voice of Command is the next Gaunt’s Ghosts. Full review below:

Huh, Below went to some unexpected places for a creature feature. Enjoyed!

This just in from the Society of Authors.

Kick the football, Charlie Brown!

Alma Katsu’s deeply disturbing reimagining of Dorian Gray for the online age, is not just a timely morality tale but a vivid lens through which to examine the way our personalities are being warped by the influencer era and the tech behind it. Full review below:

All these years later.... I'm STILL a member of The Resistance.

The only thing scary about this list of October romantasy books is the number of options. Your October might be filled with vampires, demons, and monsters...but with love interests like these, who's complaining?

Horror books? In MY October? It's more likely than you think. Here's a list of all the new speculative horror novels coming out this month!

Holy shit. Someone has decompiled the Adobe suite, rebuilt it in Rust and released it as open source. Either all software is dead or the US copyright laws are about to receive an update. getartcraft.com/apps

Aaaaand we're off. TWISTED PIKE published today. www.canelo.co/books/twiste...

Discoverability for new SFF books seems way down these days, especially outside of bestsellers and certain subgenres. I'm noticing this as both a reader and a writer. Great stuff is in danger of sinking without a trace. Please post about new/recent books you love or are excited for!!! I'll start:

Is the IDW Star Trek bundle on @sweetshop.app DRM locked? It doesn't say DRM free so I assume so.

I feel I should let you know that there's a free collection of every short story R.A Lafferty ever published (and some unpublished ones too) available at this link. 3000+ pages, with an exquisitely beautiful cover from Abigail Larson. Yarns, yarned. The Tallest of Tales, told. *Wonderful*.

"It’s relentlessly visceral and gritty, hardly letting up. But go in prepared—shield your eyes from the harsh red star overhead—or it can be a bit of an exhausting read." @bonkowsky.bsky.social reviews Jesse Aragon's The Demon Star!

Our subscription drive is still going and is now 70 new subscribers short of its goal. We had hoped to reach that in time for our 20th anniversary issue in October so we could give everyone their raises as part of that celebration. It's going to be close. clarkesworldmagazine.com/subscribe/

Love this series!

Featuring an older protagonist past his prime, cults, themes of reincarnation, and buckets of blood, The Tethered God is what happens when The Wheel of Time meets Red Country. Read the full review below:

Disney plummeting through the Trust Thermocline.

If you thought September and October were exciting for traditional publishing, just take a look at the indie world... We're looking forward to possession novels, the Weird West, and a new story from the author of All Tomorrows this fall. @tobiascarroll.bsky.social delivers the highlights!

Publishers Weekly gave Line of Descent, a fast-paced sci-fi thriller about a mysterious kidnapping on a generation ship hurtling through the stars, a starred review! Add this book to your TBR list for a stellar time. buff.ly/Fgd3FqH

For those who missed it: seventeen volumes of one of the best superhero comics ever made, for basically nothing.

If you're seeking to get lost in a world where the magic is palpable in a rich and immersive atmosphere, preorder Harrowmark. With a cast of characters with great dynamics that'll have you flipping the pages, this dark fantasy will pull you in, and you'll never want to let go. buff.ly/uCtZQBX

oh hell yyyyeeessss

The ai companies are asking to slow down because they've milked this cow. There's nothing left.

This is just <chef's kiss>. Well done Ikea.
