Time for an Influence my TBR Thursday. I have been loving Robert Jackson Bennett’s Tainted Cup series. I bought this so I can start another series by him while. But I’m afraid to start it in case I don’t like it. 😭

When you go to your indie bookstore to pick up one order & remember also to order Beings by @ilanaslightly.bsky.social while there, that’s a good day I say.
The description had me at 1960’s alien abduction, a lesbian in-book scifi writer, & an ‘Archivist’.

I’m intrigued by what sounds like Kansas folk horror, witches, and stagecoaches.

I’m relatively new to reading horror books. What new releases are coming out this fall that should be on my radar for spooky season? I generally read fantasy and scifi, so I prefer more paranormal/fantasy horror vs slasher horror. 📖🕷️
