GOOD BOY (unrelated to the film btw) by @talkscaredpod.bsky.social is truly one of my favorite things I’ve read all year — it’s sweet and scary and all told, a masterful story. Give it a go.

Finished this one today and the atmosphere, ooooof!

Coming from a long lost Northern town myself it hit hard - the relationship between Tommy and Al is also impeccably written and absolutely engrossing.

Bravo @jodierobins.bsky.social, brilliant book.

Available now from @wildhuntbooks.bsky.social!

*whispers in editor*

we're receiving a lot of submissions that are really hard to parse. remember to include a bit about your plot. themes/vibes are nice but we really need character/premise/payoff.

Need a refresher? We've got you 👇

Current read: The Off-Season by @jodierobins.bsky.social.

It's another installment of @wildhuntbooks.bsky.social's Northern Weird Novella Project; I've read two so far and both have been amazing, so I'm expecting no less from this one!

What do you do to stave off the infinite scroll?

www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

The one change that worked: I was lost in the infinite scroll – until a small ritual renewed my love of reading

My ability to concentrate diminished as I spent more time on my phone. So I started to log and learn every new word I came across, and felt my brain begin to flex

Tomorrow’s episode is one near and dear to my heart (yes, I’ve been saying this lots, but IT’S TRUE!). I chat with @talkscaredpod.bsky.social about his debut novella, Good Boy (@wildhuntbooks.bsky.social) a story that ripped my heart to shreds and pieced it back together.
