Wow! Coffin Moon by @keithrosson.bsky.social is a brilliant read and contains one of the creepiest ‘little’ characters I’ve come across in recent years. Loved every minute of this wild ride. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre by @pfracassi.bsky.social is a fast paced thriller/slasher with a fabulous final girl who proves age is no barrier to defeating evil. Lots to love about this book. I enjoyed it immensely. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Always loved this song.
A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: Apparently I needed this: "Leaving on a Jet Plane"—the John Denver song made most famous by Peter, Paul and Mary—covered here by a teamup of two Boston-based groups, Tiny Habits and Lake Street Dive. See you around.

The first video I share on here has to be my favourite rendition of Whole Lotta Rosie by Tico (parrot) and Frank (non-parrot) of Tico and the Man (a truly great squawk n' roll band)

‘All the Sinners Bleed’ by SA Cosby @blacktopkid.bsky.social is a riveting read. I could not put it down. I love all of Cosby’s work and this one is my new favourite. Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Get yourselves to a cinema immediately. Sinners has an incredible soundtrack and the cast deliver outstanding performances. I loved this film! (and please stay for the credits)

I’d heard so many great things about Whalefall by @danielkraus.com and the book still exceeded all expectations. There are so many layers to the story that I went from screaming to crying and back again several times over. I couldn’t stop turning the pages. Five gold stars!!

I know I’m late to the table (again) but discovering the work of Graham Joyce is so exciting. What a gem!

Horror Movie by @paultremblay.bsky.social is a five star read and a masterclass in storytelling. Warning: Tremblay’s characters will get inside your head and stay there… but to be fair, you’ll keep on turning the pages, allowing the horror in. This is why I love Tremblay’s work so much.
