This was my first credit ever. Up until this point it I was just giving it a shot, to see what would happen. It would be 6 more months before my next sold story. If this hadn't been picked up, I wouldn't have had such an amazing, #bookish year. #shortstories #shamelesspromoweek2025

Roman Caruthers is a man of focus and secrets. When his brother gets in the crosshairs of a local gang, he must decide how far he will go to protect his family.
King of Ashes is another fantastic crime thriller from S.A. Cosby!

I honestly thought Toadhead by Andrew Lyall was going to be a horror comedy with hypno-toads from #Futurama.
I was very wrong.
And it was fantastic.

Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix earned its place on my favorite books of 2025 list with humor and chaos.
Bonus for in depth horror movie lore and making me feel invested in the survival of a potted plant named Fine.

Set against the backdrop of the 1974 Boston school desegregation, a rough-edged Irish American mother will do anything to find out what happened to her missing daughter.
Small Mercies by Dennis Lehane is dark, thrilling, and at times heartbreaking.

The Clatter Man establishes the folklore behind a Candyman-esque killer.
You can tell the author @j-schiecke.bsky.social loves the horror genre by how she pays homage to the tropes while still making the scenes her own.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid is a haunting and cerebral story. Im not even sure how to describe it without spoiling anything.
It's a short read, just give it a shot.

Perla Wutz is one of my favorite main characters of the year. This book made me realize how much I love villain protagonists.
Perla is a suburban mom that enjoys lying, stealing attention, and obsessing over a murder that happened decades prior.

The first S.A. Cosby book I read was All the Sinner's Bleed, back in spring.
Before I finished, I knew I would eant to read Cosby's entire backlog.
The first black sherrif of a southern town must tamper racial tensions when a school shooting reveals a serial killer.

Favorite books of 2025: Book 1
Possibly my favorite character arc ever took 20 years to turn a 12-year-old orphan into a federal investigator.
THE INVESTIGATOR by John Sandford follows Letty Davenport investigating stolen oil and murder in West Texas.

Today's #wipsnip word is 'run'. What I love about this scene in The Ante is the friendship between Rob and Card bringing levity to a tense situation.

The final book of my #52booksin52weeks challenge was King of Ashes by @blacktopkid.bsky.social . I've read four books of his this year and this one had the bleakest ending, but also some of the most real characters I've read in a crime novel. #booksky #bookrecommendations #readingchallenges

Book 50 of 2025 was not a book at all. Wilted Flowers by Despoina Kemeridou is a poetry collection that delves into grief, madness, despair, and, finally, hope. In this real is an Acrostic poem named Truth. #poems #poem #poetry #darkpoetry #darkveilsociety

Book 49 of 2025 was Death Cult by Janelle Schiecke. The same way The Clatter Man captured the feelings of slashers like Candyman and Friday the 13th, this story captures the essence of the Wrong Turn and The Hills Have Eyes franchises. It's a story of isolation and cannibalistic terror. #booksky
