I'm getting a delivery from Hachette today, between 15.28 and 16.28. Frankklin (two 'K's) will be delivering it. I have a feeling it might be quite a big delivery. I'm limbering up.

It's #buyastrangerabook day and this is the second of THREE offers from @sarahalba.bsky.social Sarah is offering to buy someone a copy of Needfire by MK Hardy Check out the description and get in touch if you'd like a copy. UK only

Needfire

Norah seeks a fresh start in the halls of Corrain House. What she finds are dark secrets that will haunt her every step. You are afraid of the border places.
You are afraid of the fork in the road. Fleeing her mistakes in Glasgow for a marriage of convenience, Norah Mackenzie's new home on an estate far in the north of Scotland is a chance for freedom, a fresh start. But in the dim corridors of Corrain House, something is very wrong.
Despite their warm correspondence, her distant, melancholic husband does not seem to know her. She is plagued by ghost ships on the sea, spectres at the corner of her eye, by winding, grasping roots. Her only possible companion, the housekeeper Agnes Gunn, is by turns unnerving and alluring, and harbours uncanny secrets of her own.
As the foundations crumble beneath her feet, Norah must uncover the truth about Corrain House, her husband, Agnes, and herself, if she is to find the freedom she has been chasing.

It's #buyastrangerabook day and this is the THIRD offer from @sarahalba.bsky.social today! Sarah is offering to buy someone a copy of The Crows by C M Rosens. If gothic paranormal cosmic horror is your bag, check this beauty out and get in touch if you'd like it. UK only

The Crows

Her fate is sealed. Her death is inevitable...Carrie Rickard, leaving an abusive relationship back in London, tries to escape her past by throwing herself into her restoration project: Fairwood House, known to locals of Pagham-on-Sea as The Crows. Unable to resist as it whispers to her, Carrie's obsession only grows when she discovers it was the site of a gruesome unsolved murder.
As she digs deeper into the mystery, she awakens dark and dangerous forces. Cue an introduction to her foul-mouthed neighbour, Ricky Porter, who is as obsessed with The Crows as Carrie is, and who has several secrets of his own. Not least of which are what's really under his hood, and what he's got in the cellar...
A chilling gothic horror novel of haunted houses, eldritch monsters and things that go bump in the night.

It's #buyastrangerabook day. A day people buy each other books, because they can and they are lovely (you can do this too!). @redwellyfeats.bsky.social has bought a copy of Super-Frog Saves Tokyo by Haruki Murakami for me to give away to one lucky person. If you'd like it, get in touch! UK only

Murakami's book.

A lavishly illustrated edition of Murakami’s classic story. Katagiri found a giant frog waiting for him in his apartment. It was powerfully built, standing over six feet tall on its hind legs.

A skinny little man no more than five foot three, Katagiri was overwhelmed by the frog's imposing bulk. ‘Call me “Frog,”’ said the frog in a clear, strong voice. Fully illustrated and beautifully designed, this special edition of Murakami’s celebrated short story sees the bewildered Katagiri find meaning in his humdrum life through joining forces with Frog in an effort to save Tokyo from an existential threat.

It's #buyastrangerabook day and I have THREE offers from @sarahalba.bsky.social Firstly, Sarah is offering to buy someone a copy of Starving Saints by Caitlin Starling. Check out the amazing blurb and let us know if you'd like a copy. UK only

Starving Saints.

From the nationally bestselling author of The Luminous Dead and The Death of Jane Lawrence, a transfixing fever dream of medieval horror following three women in a besieged castle that descends ravenously into madness under the spell of mysterious, godlike visitors. Aymar Castle has been under siege for six months.
Food is running low and there has been no sign of rescue. But just as the survivors consider deliberately thinning their number, the castle stores are replenished. The sick are healed.
And the divine figures of the Constant Lady and her Saints have arrived, despite the barricaded gates, offering succor in return for adoration. Soon, the entire castle is under the sway of their saviors, partaking in intoxicating feasts of terrible origin. The war hero Ser Voyne gives her allegiance to the Constant Lady.
Phosyne, a disorganized, paranoid nun-turned-sorceress, races to unravel the mystery of these new visitors and exonerate her experiments as their source. And in the bowels of the castle, a serving girl, Treila, is torn between her thirst for a secret vengeance against Voyne and the desperate need to escape from the horrors that are unfolding within Aymar’s walls. As the castle descends into bacchanalian madness—forgetting the massed army beyond its walls in favor of hedonistic ecstasy—these three women are the only ones to still see their situation for what it is.
But they are not immune from the temptations of the castle’s new masters… or each other; and their shifting alliances and entangled pasts bring violence to the surface. To save the castle, and themselves, will take a reimagining of who they are, and a reorganization of the very world itself.
