Day 1 of spotlighting my favorite Halloween horror books. Carrick Glynn by Tony Urban may just be the best Halloween themed horror I've ever read! 👻🎃 #BookSky #Halloween #horrorbooks

Someone tell Bad Bunny that I met his friend María Antonia “Toñita” Cay! She's the founder of a Caribbean Social Club. Originally a members-only club for the local baseball team, it's now a community hub where Diasporicans can find a little piece of home in Brooklyn.

Mr. @keithrosson.bsky.social This crone was up until 1:00am reading this enthralling mystery with brilliant horror elements. Exhausted but still thinking about the fantastic ending. Thanks-a great joy to read with the wind and rain rattling against the windows.

Chivalrous Monsters by @glawackus.bsky.social is a fantastic blend of urban fantasy, horror, and stabby violent intentions! With a great sense of humor in the mix, this is one I highly recommend.

I haven't been on here much lately. I've been taking part in the Horror Indie Tron even on Instagram and I can't keep up! The event is a rapid fire read and review extravaganza in support of indie authors. It's fun! #supportindieauthors #readmorehorror #BookSky

I love Pet Semetary but I didn't include because it isn't a Halloween book. 🤗

One can't help but be swept away by @catherinemccarthy.bsky.social prose and unsettling storytelling. I never quite felt firm on my feet in this novel, rather that I was floating in a dreamlike state through the pages. A superb ghost story and mystery. Highly recommended atmospheric tale. #booksky
