Dreamland is a gothic romantic horror that plays with themes of belonging, of desire, of ambition, of how desperate we are to hide our demons, and the predatory nature of an industry that values beauty above all else. Read the full refuse below:

FORTUNE'S WAKE by @clclarkwrites.com is a joy of a book. A breakneck novella of old-school sword and sorcery, intricately thoughtful worldbuilding, propulsive plotting, and achingly adroit characterisation. It is doing about twenty clever things, but never letting that get in the way. Get it! 💗

Grimdark’s greatest monster hunters are flawed, scarred, survivors, living in brutal worlds, and making complicated choices. Head to the comments for our favourite stories of the things that go bump in the night, and their hunters who you also may not want to meet down a dark alley.

Grimdark fans in particular are likely to appreciate the mud-caked melees and dirty tactics Matthew John delivers. Full review in the comments:
