The Remonstering is only two weeks away! Are you ready? Pre-order REMONSTERED! THE MONSTERS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING today and have it in your hot little hands the day it hits shelves, Tuesday, Oct. 6! www.spyandowl.com/re...

The cover of REMONSTERED! THE MONSTERS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING: Five adventurers—a dragonborn paladin, a forest gnome barbarian, an orc druid, a tiefling bard and a goliath sorcerer—are fighting a rakshasa in the richly appointed office of a royal adviser. On the rear wall is a portrait of a handsome, mustachioed human who wears the exact same robes of honor as the rakshasa. The rakshasa is savagely tearing into the paladin's throat with its claws. The look on the paladin's face is of someone unexpectedly confronting his own mortality. The shellshocked barbarian looks like she's about to drop her absurdly oversize axe; the bard and the sorcerer are clearly terrified, holding their weapons limply. The druid, on the other hand, looks resolute, angry and unafraid. The cover is accompanied by text reading, "Two more weeks! Pre-order now!"

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson—creator of The Stormlight Archive, the Mistborn saga, and countless bestselling works of science fiction and fantasy—comes a new standalone novel set in his Cosmere universe.

In the next Cosmere standalone novel, Hoid has an epic tale to share: In a forgotten land sustained by colorful rivers of demon blood, a young woman named December learns a devastating plague is on its way. But who will believe her?

Against impossible odds, she sets sail up the River Violet to warn the king's court, determination—and wisdom beyond her years—burning in her eyes. With a chatty priestess and a fledgling fashion designer at her side, she must navigate incredulous royal officials, twisted court intrigue, and a roguish count who might hold the key to her quest—and her heart.

It's a double #bookbirthday today 🎉✨🎉 Happy book birthday to THE TOWER OF THE TYRANT by @jeremyteg.bsky.social and ALL THE WICKED by Catelyn Wilson!

The cover for THE TOWER OF THE TYRANT by J.T. Greathouse. The main character stands in the foreground with her back to the reader. She carries a staff with a bird figure sitting atop it and gazes intently at a large mountain in the cover's background. On top of the mountain is an enormous tree that may or may not be significant to the plot (you'll have to read the book to find out!).

The cover for ALL THE WICKED by Catelyn Wilson. Two graceful hands are mirroring each other against a black background. One hand is on the top part of the book and has a sharp dagger going through the middle of the palm (ouch) with some blood coming from the wound. The other hand is on the bottom part of the cover and holds an elaborate bronze key. Three luna moths of various poses encircle the hands.

Screenshot of Reactor magazine webpage. Headline reads: 30 More SFF Titles to Look Forward to in 2025. Subhed: Here are 30 more standouts to put on your TBR for the second half of this year!
BY CHRISTINA ORLANDO
PUBLISHED ON JULY 15, 2025

Below, a collage of various book covers, then below that, a placeholder cover for The Villa, Once Beloved next to a writeup that reads: It is annoyingly unusual to see a gothic set anywhere non-Western — most commonly we see English moors, Southern estates, New England mansions-but there's been a real boom of modern gothics that acknowledge there are crumbling houses, rich dipshits, dead spouses, and generational trauma everywhere, and thank god for that. Victor Manibo's latest takes us to a coconut plantation in the Philippines, and the Villa Sepulveda. The funeral of Raul Sepulveda (who may or may not have been killed by a demon) brings the family back to their ancestral home (which may or may not bring bad luck to its inhabitants). Adrian, the grandson brings along his girlfriend Sophie, who feels removed from her Filipino heritage, and is excited and nervous to connect with her roots. Only the Sepulvedas are... not great people. Of course they're not-they're rich and have ties to other rich and powerful families. When a typhoon causes a landslide that traps them inside the villa, tensions begin to build, and secrets get exposed.
Plus, there is the matter of the family curse, and Don Raul's mysterious death, and the terrifying things happening to Sophie at night... Manibo weaves the tumultuous history of the Philippines with folklore and family drama to great effect-kinda like if Knives Out had a sleep paralysis demon sitting on its chest. (November 25, Erewhon)
