@rachaelkjones.bsky.social Just read The Sound of Children Screaming by @rachaelkjones.bsky.social in @nightmare-magazine.com and it was fantastic. Very poignant, I'll be thinking about this for a long time.

I’ve seen the movie but never read American Psycho! I’d love to read it

Top 3 most thought provoking #books I’ve read so far in 2025!

Authors: @rachelyoder.bsky.social
Liann Zhang, Mona Awad.

One common theme in them all is identity and loneliness and I really enjoyed that.

oh hey cool you wrote a scene and then you wrote another scene that's the most logical thing to happen after that first scene. and then you did that again. that's neat. love that. but what I am saying is what if the people were all made out of rats.

Nettle and Bone was good - kind of like a dark fairytale vibe. More whimsical, less horror.

Calling all horror authors, saw this and had to share. @sgj.bsky.social is choosing the winner. Anyone have an unpublished #horror #novella lying around? Seems like a great opportunity. #horrorwriter #booksky

Read some good books lately. If you like wholesome fantasy with some humor, I recommend this one by @tkingfisher.com

My favorite is that there's a sidekick to the hero and it's a chicken. With a demon inside it.

Thank you for including me :)

My #shortstory Home Away From Home is in this issue! You can read it for free here on page 152. I wanted to play with format, so it's a thriller/horror story about a hotel told solely through reviews of the hotel. I had a lot of fun with this one.

I know I’m late to the party but #poorthings was an excellent movie. Very witty, and I love a good spin on a Frankenstein story.

True, when I read it I was initially expecting more horror, especially because of how the cover looks. More like magical realism stuff going on. Guess I shouldn't judge a book by its cover 😀

I don’t think I saw Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder on the list but that one was awesome, definitely details motherhood in a lot of crazy ways
