"Smoke City, baby. End of the world." Unlike any other KR book I've read. This is "just" about an immortal executioner who k!lled Jean d'Arc & a drunken artist who messes up every chance he gets! Oh & ghosts called smokes... 😀 @keithrosson.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"The Camp is good... The Camp saved me. I recommend The Camp." Promised to be a journey of self-discovery & learning about healthy living in an exclusive setting quickly deteriorates into a horror-filled & haunted stay in Hell. @jayrudolph.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"It was a symphony of slaughter." Intriquing creature feature that combines an extinction-level "plague" with a warning about climate change. An entertaining albeit sl. flawed read. And yes, you'll need a bigger boat... I suggest an aircraft carrier! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"That car was death, driven by the dead." An AMAZING book that will leave you gasping for breath w/ spent energy & emotional fatigue. No notes, all I can do is SCREAM that you should read it! See my goodreads rvw. for more! @buehlmeister.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"All pigs go to the slaughterhouse to die…" I really regret that Monika Kim's 2nd novel, "Molka" didn't come anywhere near to thrilling me as much her first book did. But this one just didn't register with me at all. See my goodreads rvw. for more! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Nobody offered a tip…" You don't read books like these unless you expect some nastiness. The author tells us they're "gross, violent, depraved, &, well, pretty fucked up!" Me? I would argue these are understatements! See my goodreads rvws. for more! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day!

"It is a scary show, after all!" IMPORTANT: - this book does NOT include everyone's favorite firm-buttocked cryptid from W.Va.; - this was apparently the final of a trilogy; - However, if you want a scary circus story, congrats! @jackalopehouse.com #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Being dead was no big deal." Taking the "not-quite-alive" detective trope in new directions, this story takes place in Salem & is tied to the Witch Trials! An undead detective that rises 1-week a year has to find out who is killing so many people! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Sometimes…dead is better." You could think of this as "Motel Styx 1.5" if you want…and it is disgusting. But it's a great read that maintains the "oh my god I can't look away" aura of its predecessor, dealing with "legalized consensual necrophilia". #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

A follow-up (unpaid!!) to my reviews from yesterday of these fantastic horror-comedy-but-more-horror-than-I-expected "Get 20% Off" books. An absolute bargain that you can't miss! Great reads & a great way to support an indie writer! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Let’s end your nightmare. Once and for all." Both "Get 20% Off Your First Demon This ___" books were very well-executed horror comedies, noting the horror is often heavier than the comedy. Still, both books are great reads, perfect for Halloween! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"sister mother daughter crone keeper" The creativity & imagination, the execution, the layers upon layers of suspense are all worth every moment locked into this tale of crime, cruelty, loss, addiction, & worse. Just wow! @keithrosson.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"FantasticLand, the place where fun is guaranteed." Well-executed story full of suspense & chaos. Very relatable for those of us who have spent our lives in "Hurricane Alley" only here things go very, very wrong! @mikebockoven.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Those grown in the midnight soil are never alone." An absolutely beautiful tale about seeking love & freedom as a woman throughout time. The fact that these are most often vampires struggling to face the world around them makes it even more delicious! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Seriously, what happened to my fucking cat?" This exciting UF romp had an amazing & extremely varied cast + a story that blew me out of the water (or deep pool of shoggoth goo, your call). Deftly executed, full of humor & emotions! @jimchines.com #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"We put the HAPPY in work!" A perfect wee tale for the zombie fan on the go! If you're like me, you have a pathological need to fill your brainpan on a regular basis with stories of this ilk, primarily to put world events into perspective. Bon appetit. #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"This is not your house." A well-written albeit slow-burning & often extremely emotional story of a young lady that, well, isn't very likeable. Is her move going to lead her to redemption or will she be devoured? @rhiannonagrist.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Life goes on … even if death doesn’t." I really enjoyed this one… for the most part. It's an interesting take on not only ghosts but a unique world very, very different to our own… for the most part. Then they went & used the fvcking M-word! Sigh... #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Everyone has a monster inside them…" A promising premise, but a somewhat disappointing read. Uniquely structured for many reasons & also just plain bizarre overall. But I felt that many open issues went unaddressed & the ending was far too rushed. #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"…heaven is virtuality." A billionaire has created My Forever Friend, an AI-powered app that provides the user with a custom "best friend". But what happens when he tries his to put his own MFF -whom he is in love with- in a human body? Light horror. #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"These goons had fvcked with the wrong bitch." This is about an ugly but believable -and bloody- dystopian reality. And it seems more likely that it's coming every day, incl. the division, police & wanting slavery back. The villains are all too real! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Resistance was no longer an option." This tale has the whole kit & caboodle a wild western can hold, esp. if also incl. splatterpunk excites you! It's even like"wrestling with a bear with nice tits" in parts. Trust me on this. #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚 @bryansmith.bsky.social

"Help me." This is a very good add'n to the rising 'Trad Wife' sub-genre. I got a real "folk horror" vibe throughout. This is true even when we learn so much we witness is illusion & find that our influencer's "power" is very demonic & evil in nature. #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

Fave Bible verse? Wrong answers only. Something Jesus said?

"God is not here." This book was like reading Franz Kafka's version of a long Swedish-based episode of 'The Twilight Zone', no doubt with some of the final production handled by Ingmar Bergman to boot. An amazingly well-written and suspenseful read! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

Complete this sentence. I own a ridiculous amount of: - eBooks - Superhero-themed teeshirts - Ties (why have I not thrown the damn things out?) - Did I mention eBooks? - Socks that I will never, ever wear - Underwear with far too many holes in them

"Nothing and nowhere is safe." What are you TRULY expecting from a book with this title? Because what you're going to get is so much crazier than that. Yes, a nearly triple digit body count, drugs, group sex, bad editing & an amorous witch await you. 👍 #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"So, You’ve Been Bitten by a Werewolf: What Now?" A wee short horror-comedy offer with the emphasis on comedy. This is very much a YA offer that incl. a lot of things I don't think young folks (eg up to age 40) would just let slide like this crew does. #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"We are out. We are alive." A well-written story wastes no time throwing our crew of humans & robots into an absolute state of chaos, literally within hours of arrival on the surface of the Red Planet! Tyranny, deception, & ideological sabotage await. #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Love and terror could stand in for courage if need be." Absolutely beautiful 'folk fantasy'. Selena tackles winning back her independence as well as dealing with the 'spirit world' of the deserts of western N.America! 5 stars! @tkingfisher.com #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"I need to talk to a ghost." This 3rd book in this "new" series is perhaps the best of the author's 10½ offers I've read! Shade continues to ply his "trade" in a world full of witches, dwarves, elves, trolls, ghosts galore, & yes, even dragons! Superb! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"I only hoped, as an official nice guy, I would not finish last." On Klmpfh, a race of advanced cephalopods run a planet-wide resort catering to immortals from different religions and mythologies. So, our very human detective has his hands full! Fun!! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Don’t panic. Don’t panic. Don’t fucking panic…" If you're looking for cover-to-cover sex in "Sexbot Uprising", well, sorry! Sure, there's gobs of sex & the fluids involved. But what it really is is a v.well told tale about overcoming slavery! Trust me! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

if you see this, quote the energy you bring to Bluesky

"Who are you?" Wow!! A great new offer from this v.talented young author! IDK if we're going to ultimately call this a ghost story or possession tale or what exactly, but this gave me a full dose of the creepies AND the crawlies! @vslaw.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"You can’t kill the boogeyman…" Trying to find the perfect camp slasher book to end your summer with? Well, if this one isn't on your TBR list, then your needs are not being completely met! A truly scary tale with great characters from A to Z! Loved it! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"We need you to come home." This story fell well short of my expectations. I found the cast to be irritating & quite frankly just unbearable. The fact that the book is OVER researched only added to the disappointment. #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

Wishing everyone a wonderful 24/7 Demon Mart day! Be sure to check out this hilarious series that continues to top the horror-comedy charts! Be sure to leave out plenty of rotten grunge and whiskey for your resident cockroaches! @dmguay.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"This little piggy went to Hell." Not sure the author was aiming for this reaction, but I found this wild Kaiju tale to be an absolute hoot! Seriously, if you want a quick read w/ your brain on "simmer", this was fun! Hello NETFLIX, call Dave Bautista! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Is there anyone here with us tonight?" 67 people lost their lives at Merlin High School over 20 yrs ago. Can Chrissy & her team help the souls of the victims find peace? Or will the fire haunt them all forever? What secrets remain? @vslaw.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Our job is to take care of the dead, so they don’t rise." The tale follows the adventures of 4 generations of Evans women who aren't just the only funeral home owners in town, they're also responsible for keeping everything strigoi-free. Look it up! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"WARNING! This Book Contains Scenes of graphic sex, Extreme Sharkage, and Gore." Tired of having your legitimate shark-based entertainment diluted by tornadoes? Well, you should definitely give this book a chance. For more, see my goodreads review. #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"We have something glorious to show you... It’s the most wondrous gift." "Lovely Flesh" was a v. interesting & entertaining read. Maybe not "horror" per se, but the creepiness factor was definitely off the charts! For more, see my goodreads review. #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"He’s here and he’s started again. Building. New creatures. New children." "Frankenstein's Monster" is an intriquing if not somewhat disjointed "sequel" to Mary Shelley's timeless classic set just outside London. For more, see my goodreads review. #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"I wish I was thin." Emmett has been morbidly obese most of his life. So he signs up for a drug trial for Obexity, a first-of-its-kind gene therapy treatment designed to alter your genetic composition. So really: what could possibly go wrong? #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Cats were weird. Case closed." A wild & fun read. Will Chicago be swallowed by a snake god with an eating disorder? Will a cosmic cat save the day or just go for another nap? Is Christmas doomed because of cultists doing cult-y things? Yeah, probably. #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

I. Am. On. The. FLOOR!!! Seriously, can we not rely on the GOP to even reliably confirm when someone has died? What scvmbags!

"…they all have one thing in common: deformities. Artifacts." Interesting questions were raised in this story -eg what AI & 3D printing will soon accomplish (not a question of "if" but "when")- but the book itself fell far short of my expectations. #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

"Reverse the polarity." The latest groovy vibes in the absolutely jammin' series that is the "John & Alvis Sessions" launches -or perhaps better said, crash lands- TODAY! Get it while it's still hot from re-entry! @tomdellaringa.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚
