HARUMI @harumibooks.bsky.social · 4d

Brief bluesky break intermission (yes a break from the break) to share my book cover for BEFORE THE LOTUS BLOOMS 🤭🤭 it turned out SO PRETTY! 💚 mark your calendars for 03.13.26!

#writesky #writingcommunity #booksky

A light green book with a darker, vine-like scroll border around the central image and text rests on a silky viridian fabric, posed between two lotus leaves, one at the top and one at the bottom. Two green (darker than the main part of the cover) semi circles border the title text, reading “Before the Lotus Blooms.” Inside the semi-circles are lotus flower silhouettes. There is a subtitle near the top of the book cover reading “Book 2, Tales of Angaride” as well as text on the bottom reading “a novel by HARUMI.”

Ginger Nuts of Horror @gnofhorror.com · 7d

What happens when horror stops looking for monsters in the dark and starts confronting the ones hiding in plain sight? For author Todd Brown, the most profound terror isn’t found in a haunted house,

Centering In On The Unseen By Todd Brown - The Ginger Nuts Of Horror Review Website

Todd Brown's "When Shadows Burn" shatters small-town myths by centering neurodivergent and queer characters as full humans.

we're getting torn to shreds on Threads about this post 🫡

Ghoulish Books @ghoulish.bsky.social · 7d

look. we fucked up, okay?

crossposting from our facebook account where most people were upset, but it's good to own up to your mistakes everywhere. that's our motto.

PLEASE READ: Yesterday someone who no longer works for this company shared a meme on this page with the caption "Fuck Christopher Columbus." Many, many people who have never followed our account before nor shopped at our store were offended by this post. If fact, you could say they were quite triggered. We *did* approve this post, but only because we were told it was directed at Chris Columbus, the director of MRS. DOUBTFIRE (1993). If you were personally hurt by our ex-employee's poor judgment, please forgive us, and let us know how we can make it up to you.

#sapphiclineshare 'nail' from Before Queens and Saints ⚓️💜🕊

Poor Geni 😅🥲

Astraia had almost felt like a sister. Until she hadn't.

Until she really, truly hadn't.

Geni had nothing else to take the thoughts away but to dig a fingernail into the back of her wrist and hurry away, letting the cool air whip her hair around with abandon until she was well away from all that, the leaves, the school, the memories. Her reflection in a street-level window showed her a glimpse of the extent of the damage. Of course her hair would be a mess going to dinner. Nothing could ever be perfect. Who cared anyway? She was thirty-two, and already done. Just like the constant need for raking the leaves at this time of year, there was only so much salvaging even possible now. Maintenance mode. That was all that was left. None of that heady rush of youth and untested dreams of what love could be.

Cannot recommend Cassandra Khaw's The Salt Grows Heavy enough. A fairy tale of cannibalism and vivisection, self-fashioning and monstrous regeneration, love wondrous and strange and invincible--and all wrapped up in prose that's marvelously itself.

I need you to understand that if you think you are a nobody in SFF, I have likely drunkenly ranted to my wife about how ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL you are as a loadbearing member of the genre community

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

My next novel, This Could Be Religion, is coming... soon If Wolverine Frogs was where I began, this is the book where I finally found myself. Darker, sharper, truer.
