About halfway through Dave Hutchinson's The Essence and loving it. A LeCarre-ish intellectual spy thriller but with speculative fiction cosmological weirdness underpinning everything. Excellent and I wish I could read it in one go (but deadlines...)

I loooove POSSESSOR. Peak science fiction horror psychological thriller… It's violent, gorgeously shot, and puts you on edge right away. Such an interesting concept and ahead of its time. #filmsky

The more I hear about AI the more I think about this new thriller from @authorbnugent.bsky.social

The Sentient Ones really are "the machines that loved us to death".

If ever a work of fiction had meaning & relevance today...

Finished stitching my 2025 book tracker! Been very satisfying to catch up on at least one craft project. It's helping me find little sparks of joy in the world right now.

Pattern by thestircrazycrafter & purchased on Etsy. Genres & representative colors chosen by me.

Five shelves are filled with different colors of books. Each color represents a genre. Below the project is a cross stitched color key that lists the genres and corresponding colors. These genres are: romance, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, thriller, mystery, why a contemporary, essays, why a fantasy, y a sci-fi, memoir/ biography, history, literature and general fiction, and reference.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, The Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin.

"Regular" fiction...big fan of anything Tana French does (thriller/police mysteries). The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis, The Alice Network by Kate Quinn, The Thin Man or Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett.

REGRESSION on blu. I quite liked this. Very crime fiction approach to a bleak thriller. A good genre mix. I kept expecting it to get supernatural but nope. Not totally comfortable with how it situated itself in the real-life history of the satanic panic.

I need book recs now pls! Stashing my kindle for my solo trip.

I need something fast paced, entertaining, a real page turner. Can be a thriller, fantasy, or just general fiction.

I don’t want something that takes a while to get into & I don’t want something too young adult.

Foreign Bodies is Black Mirror x The Last of Us, where a teenage scavenger living under an electricity ban finds a wounded stranger beyond her city’s walls—only to discover he was created to kill the last of her family. This took me... So long. Why.

A multilayered collage showcasing a green and blue collection of images representative of a dystopian landscape. Top Right: A couple kissing in front of a red glow. Top Middle: Plans from the game TLOU. Top Right: A protest. Bottom Left: Still from the game TLOU with Ellie, the young, female, brown haired protagonist, overlooking a city. Bottom Left: A bush landscape with a sign hammered into a tree. It reads 'KEEP OUT'. Text Displayed on page in red writing reads: FOREIGN BODIES, complete at 91k SCI-FI thriller DYSTOPIAN AUSTRALIAN SETTING YA CROSSOVER The background is a collage of cityscapes in blues and greens, giving a moody, dystopian, science fiction feel. The images are hardly visible behind a white text box. The text is dark brown, and reads: Sixteen-year-old Lark believes she's learned everything about the forbidden wilderness beyond Cobalt's city borders since her father's death five years ago—until she rescues a wounded boy in the bushland who heals too quickly and knows only the name branded into his skin, Nero. When her uncle Roland disappears, Lark's search for him forces her past the concrete barrier of the inner city and reveals more than the glittering lives of the wealthy. Here, the Power Edict—the law that keeps her sector in darkness—doesn't apply. And the exiled 'androids' roaming the Wilds aren't mechanical relics of the past at all, but bioengineered humans, created and released as tools of control. The image background is a collage of images in reds and oranges, featuring fire, protest, and cyber-type text. The images are barely visible behind a white text box. The text is in dark brown and reads: When they find Roland, he's in a part-metal body, and staging a public demonstration of the government's newest technology: engineered children, created for violence and forced to fight for public spectacle. Lark finally understands Nero's origins. Worse still, her closest friend, Tejas, has been hiding a devastating truth about their journey all along. Lark's father is alive, but saving him risks her uncle's secret rebellion to end the regime. This decision forces her to stand between two boys she trusts in different ways: Tejas, her anchor through every loss, and Nero, the boy she's sworn to protect, who was created with a single directive: Kill Roland. But each decision comes with its own set of consequences—because in the city of Cobalt, sometimes the enemy looks like your family. Screenshot of users manuscript over collage background, barely visible behind the yellow text box. Text reads: In my head, I’m counting. A fingertip taps my thigh. Something I’ve done in moments of anxiety since I was small. One, two, three, four. Four walls fractured and creaking. Rattling with each breath of the wind. One. One tin roof corroded and decaying. One, two, three, four… Too many tendrils of weeds reaching through an aperture to cling to the ceiling’s internal surface. The sound of birds calling overhead shatters the tranquillity. Three shrill calls. Each is louder than the last, echoing in warning. I breathe in deep, digging my nails into the palms of my hands. Softly, not enough to draw blood. Just enough for the familiar sting to anchor my rising panic. Though the sprawling vines mute the bird’s call, I know they feel the shift, too. I don’t dare to speak or move. Instead, my muscles burn as I crouch in the corner that I’ve tucked myself into. Concentrating, I close my eyes. Wind whistling through the eucalypts. The distant rumble of a tractor. A crackling drone of distant insects. I can’t hear anything else. I can’t see anything either, but I will stay as still as long as the birds continue to call. The birds never lie.

Bit late to the party, but here are some of my favourite books read in 2025 - all of which are available at proud-geek.co.uk

(There’s a list of book titles and authors in the alt text)

Have you read any of these?

#queerbooks #booksky
A stack of ten queer books and queer graphic novels I read last year ▪️ Traumaland by Josh Silver – surprisingly dark and twisty YA thriller, like an episode of Black Mirror. ▪️ The Boy I Love by William Hussey – YA historical fiction about grief, love and loss during the First World War. ▪️ Of Monsters And Mainframes by Barbara Truelove – science fiction meets classic pulp horror with gay spaceships. ▪️ Voice Like a Hyacinth by Mallory Pearson – slow start, but a brilliant book about fine art students, ritual sacrifice and lesbians. ▪️ I Leave It Up To You by Jinwoo Chong - slow-paced, yet chaotic slice-of-life story about connection, queerness and family. ▪️ Brigands & Breadknives by Travis Baldree – cosy fantasy with higher stakes and more adventure. ▪️ Deep House by Jeremy Atherton Lin – an emotional and informative mix of memoir and queer history surrounding gay marriage. ▪️ Human Rites by Juno Dawson – withes, prophesy and a perfect conclusion to the HMRC series. ▪️ The Unsinkable Ship Of Fools by Jonas Goonface – pure, unadulterated filth about a group of queer anarchists banging on an unstoppable train (the best smut you’ll ever read). ▪️ Bone Broth by Alex Taylor – colourful but eerie queer coming of age thriller about a transmasculine guy working in a ramen shop.

I need an audiobook recommendation. But unfortunately I have read every book. I need a thriller or mystery/suspense novel. No non-fiction. Too scary. Help.

5/ “Aurora Borealis” by Maksym Hakh combines mythical fantasy, alternative history, cyberpunk, and a spy thriller with exquisite ease. New Ukrainian speculative fiction seeks and experiments, and it is fascinating to witness this process. #ChytomoPicks
