Mackenzie Hurlbert @kenziethewordnerd.bsky.social · 16/10/2025If we've talked books, I've likely already recommended Rachel Harrison's work, but her latest novel Play Nice needs to top your TBR pile right 👏 this 👏 minute. It's horrific, humorous, and scarily relatable. 💜 @rachelharrison.bsky.social 021
Mackenzie Hurlbert @kenziethewordnerd.bsky.social · 14/10/2025Happy to brighten your feed with another recent horror read on this rainy Tuesday: Her Wicked Roots by @tanyapell.bsky.social came out earlier this month, and I highly recommend picking up a copy! I couldn't put down this twisty tale of mystery, romance, and horror 🌱 132
Mackenzie Hurlbert @kenziethewordnerd.bsky.social · 14/10/2025After StokerCon this year, my TBR pile was (and still is) overwhelming... but I was lucky to pick up this book by @jvgachs.bsky.social and devoured it in a weekend! A story of self-discovery, pain, and pleasure, Unholy and its Satanic cult had me in its clutches and kept me hooked to the very end. 011
Mackenzie Hurlbert @kenziethewordnerd.bsky.social · 12/10/2025One of my favorite recent reads on Audible was @sgj.bsky.social 's The Buffalo Hunter Hunter. I love what he did with vampirism in this and really enjoyed the structure of the storytelling through three linked POVs. 5484

Mackenzie Hurlbert @kenziethewordnerd.bsky.social · 15/06/2025How can I even start to sum up my first StokerCon?! My head is still spinning.
