Cat Mowat @catmowat.bsky.social · 07/08/2025

The Voyeur by Jim Ody is a fun-filled psychological/erotic thriller. As the mystery unfolds, the characters take you on a journey through a seedy underworld, carefully curated through the eyes of a voyeur. But what if someone else is watching? @jimodyauthor.bsky.social has nailed it again 📚💙🩸📚

Luke is not like other men.
Luke is always watching. And he will stop at nothing to get what he wants…no matter the consequences.
But what happens when the tables are turned?
What happens when someone watches the voyeur?

The Voyeur is part thriller, part erotica, all with an undertone of Jim Ody’s trademark humour and urban tone. It is gritty, graphic, and complicated. Luke as a main character is incredibly unlikeable, yet as a reader you can’t pull away, and want him to succeed. It is an incredible testament to the skill of the writer that Luke works. He is unreliable as a narrator, but you hang on his every thought and word. The characters are complicated throughout, and you find yourself questioning everything you think you know.

Jim Ody continues to branch out in his style and here he once again proves that he is an accomplished multi-genre author, which is a rare skill to have. His writing never fails to make me laugh, make me think, and consistently throws in twists that I never see coming. The Voyeur is no exception to this: a wonderfully curated journey through the seedy eyes of the voyeur.

A 4 star review of Credenza by Wendy Dalrymple (releases June 13th). The review praises the character development and twists and turns in the unique story. Cosy gothic horror about a cursed object

A 5 star review of Phobophobia by Jyl Glenn and Savannah R. Fischer. An anthology of stories featuring weird and wonderful phobias, including fear of amputation, fear of nail varnish, fear of moths, and fear of bellybuttons. This is an incredible anthology from a stellar list of indie horror authors

A 4 star review of The Secrets of Blackthorn House by Marie McWilliams. A rich, cosy gothic horror that reminded me of Crimson Peak

A 5 star review of The Bloodvein Wand by Elizabeth J. Brown. The third instalment of The Brimstone Chorus, picking up after The Laughing Policeman and The Fractured Few. This is full of gore, humour, brilliant characters and twists.

Boo by Christy Aldridge releases on April 9th and is one to check out. Creepy and haunting, it will stay with you, just like that imaginary friend you forgot about, too…. 🩸📚💙📚😱 #booksky #Indiehorror #horrorbook

A 5 star review of Boo by Christy Aldridge. Text reads: “The story of Boo unfolds perfectly with alternating timelines of adult and child Joe, with chapters seamlessly running from one to the other. It really helps the full story unravel one sinister moment at a time, and makes the shocking moments even more disturbing. Boo is suitably creepy, magnified by his childlike innocence. The human characters are all superbly built up: the trauma, baggage, addictions and love glare at your from the pages and really draws you in. The story is an easy read, with a slow and intense build of suspense, and yes, that chill will permanently run down your spine…”

The Staircase In The Woods by @chuckwendig.bsky.social releases on April 29th and is definitely one to look out for. Creepy, terrifying and beautiful all at once 💙📚💀 #Booksky #arcreview

4 star review of The Staircase in the Woods by Chuck Wendig. Review reads “A literal house of horrors, the world beyond the staircase is beautifully described, and absolutely terrifying. When the actual world is against you and you can’t get out, what can you do to survive? Angst, trauma and mental health are all under the spotlight in this story: I would say that this is psychological horror just as much as it is fantasy or cosmic horror. Beautiful world building, real characters and a shocking ending all merge to make a story as solid as the staircase in the woods.”

We Met in the Forums by Rob Ulitski: a brilliant story that claws under your skin. Full reviews on GR and my socials now! 💙📚💀🦋 #Booksky #indiehorror

A 5 star review of We Met in the Forums by Rob Ulitski. Text reads:
“Sci-fi, viral, cult and psychological horror all work together here to make a story that you will absolutely not see coming. The relationship between Josh and Leo is heartwarming and will break you, the mystery is gross, visceral and complex. Cerebral and grim, this story weaves under your skin, keeping you guessing right up to the last page. The gore is intense but just at the right moments, there are equal moments of quiet brilliance that build suspense and help with the world-building. A sophisticated horror, I am seriously impressed”

“ You will ache, you will feel this in your soul. And you will be horrified.” Review of You’re Not Supposed To Be Here by Mike Salt is live: I loved this haunting story. Releases in 14th feb! #booksky 💙📚💀

You’re Not Supposed to Be Here by Mike Salt. Cover image is a skeleton with purple flowers next to its head. Accompanied by a 5 star review which reads “ You’re Not Supposed To Be Here is a story of regret, grief, second chances and the horror of humanity. The prose is beautiful, the characters are painfully human, and the story will sweep you away on a path of purple flowers. The horror is both gentle and hard-hitting, because what is more haunting that the knowledge that you’re not supposed to be here?”

Cat Mowat @catmowat.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

“The hardest horror to read is the horror that is true, that any of us could deal with at any point.” Some of the stories are true, some are imagined: all of them are real horrors. Full review of Dancing Through the Shadows is live now, all sales go to an amazing DV charity 💙📚💀 #booksky #survive

Dancing Through the Shadows, edited by E R Vickers, featuring stories by Lula Von Goth, D E McCluskey, Justin Boote, Matt Stone, Cici Perkins, C S Jones, Jimmy Blaze, Matt Wildasin and Ali Jane Sweet. Image is of a black and white picture of a woman’s face: she looks sad. Image is paired with a 5 star review that reads “Dancing Through the Shadows takes a harrowing subject and deals with it sensitively as well as creatively. Every facet of abuse is covered, with twists and turns, grisly truth and a lot of soul. You will feel discomfort, you will feel rage, you will experience heartbreak over and over again. And we as reader all should feel that way”

Image is accompanied by a 5 star rating and a caption of “from the very first page you are drawn into a dark world of creatures and terrifying violence. And if there is one place you don’t want to be isolated, it is in a prison. Masterful horror from the slightly disturbed mind of C S Jones”
