Very excited for my first ever book con!

Arina @readingrogue.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Happy book birthday to Dweller in Darkness, Sam Flynn's 2nd in Deadlights duology! Published by @timberghostpress.bsky.social, Flynn's play (pun intended) on Chambers' The King in Yellow takes new heights in this sequel, horrifying/aweing as it questions blind devotion, history and conquest.

A black e-reader sits angled on a soft, white fabric surface, displaying the book cover of "Dweller in Darkness" by Sam Flynn.

The cover on the screen is in grayscale and features five figures facing a misty, foggy and grassy field where a light shines in the distance.

An image of an e-reader displaying a page. The title at the top reads "Dweller in Darkness by Sam Flynn". The main text on the screen includes the highlighted quote, "Those you worship taught you to look everywhere, everywhere but within."

Hey all, I had this cold war SF novel come out in July. It's about generational trauma, what we do for love, how secret government bureaus get set up in a world where the Cold War ended in 1975 because physics changed suddenly and without warning. I really love it and think you will too

An infographic for The Traitor & The Wretch (cover art by Amy Phillips) written by Jasmine Walls and illustrated by Rowan MacColl.

It reads: Minor villains dungeon-crawling their way to a happy ending.

On the run from an entire kingdom that wants them both dead.

This guy (the wretch) helped raise a Chaos God to bring about the end times (he's not coping well)

This guy (the traitor) tried to kill the Prophesized Hero (it ended badly)

Enemies-to-Lovers

Mutated cave creatures! Undead horrors! Endless pitch black caves! Somehow, it's a romance!

An infographic showing the cover for This Mortal Coil, written by Jasmine Walls and illustrated by Marie Enger (cover art by Jan and Vlad Schwarts) that reads: What's a skeleton to do when they outlive their wizard overlord?

Go on a quest they are wildly unqualified for, apparently

This novella can fit so many illustration in it.

Evil wizards, corrupt kings, vengeful spirits, and one very tired skeleton.

Includes: a magic sword with a mid-life crisis.

No romance! We're not even sure they count as friends, honestly.

Reading The King in Yellow in preparation for The Mystery of the Pale King (Sam Flynn's inspired by), in preparation for Dweller in Darkness!

My hand holds up two books overlapping each other.

On the left is The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers, published by Pushkin Press. The cover features the yellow silhouette of a figure wearing a hooded robe against a black background.

On the right is The Mystery of the Pale King by Sam Flynn. The cover shows a moody, atmospheric illustration of figures on a ship, sailing toward a distant castle under a night sky filled with stars.

My sister got into TBB's S&F sub and holy hell. Did not know the artist before, but I am obsessed with John Barry Ballaran's artwork for The Demon Star

Naked hardback for The Broken Binding's special edition of Jesse Aragon's novel, The Demon Star.

A lone figure stands in the center with their back to the viewer, wearing dark, tattered clothing and carrying a sheath at their waist. They have a leg brace. They are walking into a surreal, fiery red landscape. Surrounding them in the upper and right portions of the cover are dozens of shadowy, black, ghostly figures with glowing red eyes. In the bottom right corner, a skeleton rests on the ground next to a strange, blooming thing with long tentacles reaching for it.

An open book featuring a two-page fantasy illustration with dramatic, dark and crimson lighting.

On the left, a tall, imposing figure with long white hair, and prominent pointed ears stands confidently. They wear an ornate, dark coat illuminated by a vibrant, reddish-pink and purple overhead light source. Behind them is a large, circular metallic structure resembling a hatch or vault door.

On the right there is a crowd of onlookers staring upward in awe or anticipation or suspicion. Above them stands a large stone statue pointing upward, all bathed in the same moody, atmospheric crimson lighting.

An open book displays a two-page science fiction illustration.

On the left, a person with long, wavy red hair wearing light-colored clothes stands with their back to the viewer.

They have one hand pressed against a dark, reflective window, through which one can see deep space and a planet, or perhaps a moon, tinted in a dark orange light.

Next to them a tall, pale, bald humanoid figure with blue-tinted skin, stands slightly bowed, hands behind their back.

Today on new additions to the adventure of reading: the new edition of Mexican Gothic with its pulpish cover (love it. Couldn't help myself). And Consider Phlebas, the start of my Culture journey, to better understand the influences behind Stewart Hotston's Project Hanuman

An image of the book cover for "Mexican Gothic" by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. The cover features a vintage, pulpish horror aesthetic in shades of deep red and teal. A woman with dark, 1950s-style hair and a worried expression holds a lit lantern. She is bathed in a ghostly teal light that contrasts with the saturated red background. Below her, a several eerie mushrooms surround her.

A paperback titled "Consider Phlebas" by Iain M. Banks lies on a patterned surface. The cover art features a stylized, retro-sci-fi aesthetic with a winding blue pathway leading toward a distant horizon under a dark, starry sky. Geometric white lines and a large circular celestial body create a sense of depth and scale. The author's name is prominently displayed in large, bold, white sans-serif lettering across the center.

After an incensed interaction (not, they called me within 5m and immediately solved my problem) with customer service, and a late preorder, I finally got this in my hands

The cover of "Sublimation" by Isabel J. Kim. The title is written in large, vertical sans-serif letters on the right side against a dark background. On the left, against a teal backdrop, is a surreal image of a person’s face and neck repeated and layered vertically, creating a cascading effect. The woman has dark hair and vibrant red lipstick.
