Visiting the UK in the past couple of weeks I picked up a copy of the latest @forteantimes.bsky.social ,
containing an article on Japanese toilet ghosts by my good friend @lauramauro.bsky.social

It’s their first article for FT, the cover story and a damn good read!

Cover of the latest issue of Fortean Times, showing a vague figure against a blue light and an arm reaching up from inside a toilet

The contents page of Fortean Times describing the contents of the stories in the latest issue including the cover story bout Japanese Toilet Ghosts

I believe that’s a Vincent Chong cover. He does a lot of the Polish editions.

Ross Warren @rosswarren78.bsky.social · Apr 6

Edenville by Sam Rebelein, about 150 pages in and not really sure I get what it’s going for tonally. It’s well-written and interesting though so I expect I will stick with it.

I’m only about 40 pages in, but I know what you mean. The strength of his previous Star Wars books has been the action so seems a little slow right now. Also not sure having the trilogy split between three different authors will work out well.

I also have the Star Wars book on the go, as well as The Third Rule of Time Travel by Philip Fracassi (pb) and A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engel (audio)

Ten Low
starkholborn.com/ten-low/
An ex-military drifter with a sketchy past saves a child from a crashed spaceship and discovers that ship was crashed for a reason.

Cover of Stark Holborn's Ten Low
Cover tones are bright yellow and reddish brown.
A bald woman's head, tilted slightly down with eyes looking up faces the viewer. Semi transparent sand dunes are superimposed from her nose down as if fading from one scene to the next. Rough, red lines criss cross her neck. A circle (planet? Sun?) about the size of a golf ball (scaling against her head) is superimposed over the top left of her head.
