Rupert Stubbs @rupertstubbs.bsky.social · 04/10/2026You’ll also like RR Haywood’s books - self-published, he’s sold over 4m books. Not a literary writer, but manages to be very engaging and drives a story along. A lot of SF, but probably most famous for his The Undead series - zombies, but done with humour and a background conspiracy… 100
