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!

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.
