One of the books of the year. Best vampire novel I've read for YEARS. So good, it's beyond description. Just wow.

Coffin Moon by @keithrosson.bsky.social is called the best modern vampire story ever by @stephenking.bsky.social I saw Joe Hill on his King Sorrow tour (which is a new favorite book), he had big praise for it too. They are not wrong. This book is a modern classic

Whoa!! #Kindle deal! @jonathanjanz.bsky.social's VEIL is just $1.99! This is a sick deal because this was just recently released. #booksky #ad #amreading

Cover for Jonathan Janz's VEIL. The colors pop, with the top third being purplish blue and teh bottom third being golden yellow. There's a creepy ass hand reaching from the top of the cover, looking to snatch up a figure walking through the golden woods.

Totally beautiful..... HELICON, legendary Scottish psych band bring their all encompassing and unique sound to Oslo in London. Four guitars and a sitar, what more could you possibly ask for? Watch the film, a killer tune.

WEREWOLF MOVIE is sitting on ZERO Amazon reviews! I however award this bizarre & unique gem of a novella the rarely given 5/5 @horrordna.bsky.social stars. Its more about aspiring late 80s musicians than werewolves, but its hypnotic, funny & a must for music lovers. www.horrordna.com/books/werewo...
Werewolf Movie
Easily the strangest werewolf story ever written, or is it really just about struggling musicians?

Sludgemas Day 5's album comes courtesy of a rec from @jonezyboy.bsky.social! Some really interesting and unique percussion work from these guys.

KUROKUMA "BORN OF OBSIDIAN"
Black and gold colors make up the background and prominent ancient looking statues make up the main focus of the album art.

Amanda Casile's BROKEN TRAIL will put you off hiking for life in my latest review. Superb psychological horror, blended with survival & something lurking in the woods. You should have gone to Disney Land girls! Terrific debut. www.horrordna.com/books/broken...

Love Phil Earle! I've had this on order for my library for a couple of weeks, hasn't turned up yet. Sounds like this graphic novel version does the brilliant original justice.
sarahwebbwriter.bsky.social Sarah Webb @sarahwebbwriter.bsky.social · 12d
I’ve just finished this wonderful graphic novel version of Phil Earle’s When the Sky Falls and it’s such a powerful book. Friendship between a boy and an ape, as well as a boy and a girl - both beautifully examined. Adapted by Fred Fordham.

THE CALL, one of the greatest YA fantasy horror mythology novels of our time, gets a welcome rerelease in 2026! Forget the Hunger Games and other over-hyped dystopian romps, this duology smashes it to bits. Cool new cover too.

I do like to see five blokes (or were they?) dressed in scary costumes & masks thrashing the f out of their guitars. Welcome to MOLCH who I saw last night and this morning bought their album. A cheery mix of doom, sludge, black metal and noise rock.

Here's a wee taste of SMOTE from their gig at the Lexington last night. Deafening, melodic, primeval, drone heavy and proggy are only a few words which describe this unique band.
