I’m diving into the newest novel,”Crone” by @keithrosson.bsky.social. What an amazing talent to emerge in the genre. I also love and respect your ability to meet your readers on a human level, which is exactly what you did with the AUTHORS NOTE. #horrorbooks #keithrosson #cronebook

I am thoroughly enjoying “The Rift Walker” series by @clayharmon2.bsky.social. The first book, “Flames of Mira” has become one of the most visually engaging stories with the most compelling characters I’ve read in a while.

I predict all who love horror/SFF literature will soon be familiar with greatness that is Phillip Fracassi’s prose. Pick a book, you can’t go wrong. I recommend reading THE AUTUMN SPRINGS RETIREMENT HOME MASSACRE I just finished. It’s out 9/30 #amreading @torbooks.bsky.social @pfracassi.bsky.social
