This collection from @gwendolynkiste.bsky.social @rdspress.bsky.social -incredible. Each story reveals a different kind of female rage & terror. Set in different places & times, readers will tear through the book, coming up for air, breathless & terrified but looking for more Kiste. All the stars.

I promised no scary carrots or rabbit episodes like that other guy.

Day 8 of #libfaves25 !!!
It’s WHEN THE WOLF COMES HOME by @natcassidy.bsky.social It’s terrifying, sad, and still humorous. Another amazing new take on an established trope.

Day 7 of #libfaves25 and we have WITCHCRAFT FOR WAYWARD GIRLS by @gradyhendrix.bsky.social @berkleypub.bsky.social

It’s an amazing story centered around women and their stories. It has female power and female rage along with friendships.

Late but it’s #libfaves25 day 6. BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER by @sgj.bsky.social @sagapressbooks.bsky.social

Day 5 ish of #libfave25 @haileypiperfights.bsky.social TEENAGE GIRLS CAN BE DEMONS @titanbooks.bsky.social
I said in LJ “this is a fierce collection of women-centered horror that explores the different ways in which girlhood & growing up can be terrifying but also empowering.”

Day 4 of #libfaves25! It’s PLAY NICE by @rachelharrison.bsky.social @berkleypub.bsky.social Darkness, family secrets, paranoia and the cost of being possessed by the past. Feminist, funny, and scary.

Day #3 of #libfaves25!!!!
WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES by @claymcleod.bsky.social @quirkbooks.bsky.social

The horror novel for this moment in time. A deep dive into modern faith & the way brains are taken over by modern media. Terrifying, heartbreaking, & still humorous aka Clay’s brand.

Day 2 of #libfaves2025 is of course WHY I LOVE HORROR by @raforall.bsky.social @sagapressbooks.bsky.social @laneheymont.bsky.social
Essays by authors who represent the depth and breadth of horror today. Necessary reading for the horror fan as well as anyone interested in the creative process.

When some people get feelings they drink, eat, post stupid online, start drama with their friends or partners…
Why do that then you can take it out on your hair?

Those in #libraryland know that not every book makes it to large print. But @cgolden.bsky.social and @briankeene.bsky.social did!

Still celebrating the release of WHY I LOVE HORROR by @raforall.bsky.social @sagapressbooks.bsky.social

My bunny, Crumpet, would like to know your why- why do you love horror? Then pick up the book and see if your answer is reflected in any of the contributors.
