The last of the 3 English Hardcover editions of Andrew's 'The Wildfire Season' features one of fav Pyper covers of all his books. The coloration works perfectly to highlight the key elements of the story. Just a gorgeous, gorgeous book.

Book Review: 'False Prophet' by Dave Jeffery is an unflinching look at one man's mental decline as he struggles to understand his apocalyptic visions. This was such a fun experience!

Just how far would you go to ascend? To achieve immortality? Would you taste the ash?

The 2nd English Hardcover edition of Andrew's 'The Wildfire Season' is equally haunting & stunning. That red, textured cover with the landscape horizon on fire, this is a perfect representation of the story within. Love this one.

What mysterious beast chases?
What clues does the Lighthouse hold?
And will your heart survive the ending?

Book Review: 'Cottonmouth' by Kealan Patrick Burke is not only a prequel to his novel 'Kin,' but also a heart wrenching examination of a young boy's world being slowly crushed around him. This was bleak, brutal and fantastic!

Next up, as we explore Andrew's English Hardcover's is the 1st of his 3rd novel, 'The Wildfire Season.' I love this cover. Minimal, engaging & pulls you in. The image does the book & the story layers within, justice.

Book Review: 'A Dark Whimsy' by @glawackus.bsky.social is a wonderfully enchanting book, filled with a lot of tension, emotions and heart. This was so much fun!

Les Vacances by Phil Sloman
Remote vacation ✔️
A strange small town ✔️
An odd discovery ✔️
Nothing is what it seems ✔️

This novella is dark, twisted & unputdownable!

A decade ago, Kari's husband & son went hunting, never to return. Things around her have changed. The night creatures grow bolder. And one day a strange figure arrives with the news her family is still alive. But how far will Kari go to find out if that's true?

Book Review: @johnfleonard.bsky.social returns with 'Strowg,' a novella that is equal parts horrific & touching. What happens when Strigoi take up residence in Bledbrooke? We get brutality & the longing for love. This was fantastic!

Have I shared this one recently? Yes. But, as I'm going through Andrew's English Hardcover editions, this one's next! The Large Print edition of 'The Trade Mission' features a stark jungle image with the AK47 across the bottom. It's a jarring image, but one that works really well for the novel.

The 2nd English Hardcover of Andrew's 'The Trade Mission' does a wonderful job of highlighting the smothering nature of the Amazon, as well as the story within these pages. I love the coloring & the glossy, textured square in the bottom right. This cover works so well for this book.

Book Review: A.M. Shine returns with 'Grace,' another creepy, isolated Folklore novel that was absolutely phenomenal. This one showcases Shine's penchant to rattle the reader & he does it so very well.
