Just dropped a list of neo-noir book recs for anyone who loves gritty crime fiction and dark thrillers. If you’re into flawed narrators and fast-moving revenge stories, this one’s for you. 📚🖤 #NoirBooks #CrimeFiction #ThrillerBooks #BookRecs #Hardboiled

I dread reading SA Cosby’s novels, mostly because he does the thing I want to do so much better than I could ever do it. Blacktop Wasteland is yet another example. #booksky #books @blacktopkid.bsky.social

What is everybody’s take on Exquisite Corpse? I just finished it this weekend, and honestly it was both one of the best-written and most unsettling things I’ve ever read. #booksky #books #horror #horrorbooks

Just started “Cogan’s Trade” by George V. Higgins (which became “Killing Them Softly” in theaters). Some of the grittiest and most well-written dialogue this side of Elmore Leonard. I’ve never seen an author characterize people so well through their words. #booksky #books

My Dark Vanessa is, as @stephenking.bsky.social says in his blurb, “A well-constructed package of dynamite.” 🧨 📕 📖 📚 #books #booksky #book

Book cover of ‘My Dark Vanessa’ by Kate Elizabeth Russell. The black-and-white image shows a close-up of a young woman’s face with her eyes closed. A butterfly rests on her fingers, partially covering one eye. The title ‘My Dark Vanessa’ is overlaid in white text, with a quote from Gillian Flynn praising the novel. The author’s name appears at the bottom.

Wake Up and Open Your Eyes is a horror novel about zombies being brainwashed by a propaganda outlet, and I didn't know I needed this in my life until I started reading it. #booksky #books #horror #horrobooks

Olivetti (middle grade fiction) is a surprisingly poignant and unexpectedly emotional novel about life told from the perspective of a discarded typewriter. #books #booksky 📚 📖 📕

Okay, I’ve got to be honest: I didn’t love Red Rising for the first…several hours? That said, there’s a plot shift—I won’t say twist—that happens a little over halfway through, and I’ve locked IN on this book. Can’t wait to finish it. #books #booksky

The year is young yet, but it’ll take quite the thoroughbred to outpace this book. A few hundred pages of pure poetry. #books #booksky 📚

Here is an alt text description for the image:

Book cover of The Heart in Winter by Kevin Barry. The background is a bold red color. The title, “The Heart in Winter,” is in large black serif font at the top, with “A Novel” in smaller text beneath it. Below the title, “Author of Night Boat to Tangier” is written in small uppercase letters. The author’s name, “Kevin Barry,” appears in bold black letters at the bottom.

The central image is a large, irregularly shaped beige heart, resembling a rugged landscape. Within the heart’s upper section, a silhouette of two figures on horseback is seen against a yellow sun. The illustration has a minimalist and abstract style, evoking a sense of solitude and vastness.

Sinclair' Lewis's 1935 dystopian novel, It Can't Happen Here, follows the election of a populist named "Buzz" Windrip, who takes complete control over the government after appealing to the "forgotten man" in America. #books #booksky #dystopia #handmaidstale 📚

Based on a friend’s rec, I am reading The Intruder, by Daniel Hurst. It is the very definition of readable. Definitely a book I’d suggest for people in a reading slump. #books #booksky 📕 📚

Robert Bloch's inimitable novel, 'Psycho,' is only $2.99 on Amazon right now. (Yes, THAT Psycho.) Even though the movie is well-worn territory, at this point, the book is a work of art in its own right. #books #booksky #horror #horrorbooks www.amazon.com/Psycho-Novel...

Boogie House follows unemployed alcoholic ex-cop Rolson McKane as he struggles to solve a racially-motivated murder in his small, southern town. He was a bad cop and a worse drunk, but he might be the only person to solve this particular crime. (Also, there's ghosts.) www.amazon.com/Boogie-House...

There is a story in Mariana Enriquez’s book of shorts entitled “Different Colors Made of Tears,” and I think that might be the coolest title ever. (It’s also my favorite in the collection thus far.) 📖 📕 📚 🖊️ 💻 #books #booksky #horror #horrorbooks #horrorlit
