'Coffin Moon' by @keithrosson.bsky.social is one of the darkest and most challenging vampire books you are going to read, but it is done so well.

The kidnapping crew in Kit Burgoyne’s 'The Captive' have taken the wrong person; not only is their victim heavily pregnant, but strange events seem to follow her.

Sometimes you need to fight fire with fire, or in the case of @shannondenton.bsky.social and @davidhartmanart.bsky.social’s 'Kraken', unnatural beast versus unnatural beast.

@almakatsu.bsky.social's Fiend is a nice mix of Succession and The Devil’s Advocate, taking the trauma of family business and throwing some of the underworld into it.

Who would have thought that a clever way to deal with Fae magic would be to add another layer of complexity in the form of a science fiction world?

As a lover of history, I adored 'Caesar's Spy' by Jean-Pierre Pecautake and Max Von Fafner. It was dark and visceral but also represented a valid exploration of Caesar at the time.

I love the science fiction of ideas and for its brief 176 pages, 'System Preference' by Ugo Bienvenu poses more questions than most epic space operas.

@sarahjdaley.bsky.social 'Wings of Steel and Fury' is Grimdark, a low fantasy book, that happens to have angels and romance, but this is less love making and more rutting.

'Lies and Dolls' by @nevfountain.bsky.social is a tightly written crime story and feels even more impressive than book one. The series is heading in a good direction.

@chucktingle.bsky.social's 'Lucky Day' is some of the most enjoyable gonzo fiction I have read in a long time. It is Urban Fantasy, but with a twisted sense of horror and sci fi.

@lamargiles.bsky.social's 'Star Wars: Sanctuary - A Bad Bunch Novel' is a book that is a joy to read. It captures the characters from the show, but also a sense of the wider Star Wars Universe.
