It's #buyastrangerabook day and this is the THIRD offer from @sarahalba.bsky.social today! Sarah is offering to buy someone a copy of The Crows by C M Rosens. If gothic paranormal cosmic horror is your bag, check this beauty out and get in touch if you'd like it. UK only

The Crows

Her fate is sealed. Her death is inevitable...Carrie Rickard, leaving an abusive relationship back in London, tries to escape her past by throwing herself into her restoration project: Fairwood House, known to locals of Pagham-on-Sea as The Crows. Unable to resist as it whispers to her, Carrie's obsession only grows when she discovers it was the site of a gruesome unsolved murder.
As she digs deeper into the mystery, she awakens dark and dangerous forces. Cue an introduction to her foul-mouthed neighbour, Ricky Porter, who is as obsessed with The Crows as Carrie is, and who has several secrets of his own. Not least of which are what's really under his hood, and what he's got in the cellar...
A chilling gothic horror novel of haunted houses, eldritch monsters and things that go bump in the night.

This thing seems to be out in the open now, so even though publication’s eight months away, let’s drum up some early interest, shall we? Wayfarers is out next April. Here’s the cover.

A book cover. Wayfarers: The Incredible Story of Animal Migration, by Lev Parikian. It’s mostly blue, with swirling patterns representing movement, and stylised images of various migrating animals (butterflies, terns, a whale, bats, wildebeest, dragonflies, penguins, an arctic fox) dotted about the place.

Birdsong & the richness we’ve laid (are laying) waste to. An astonishing, heartbreaking demonstration of shifting baseline syndrome, & what I remember. Wrote about this @environment.theguardian.com + a real recording made in my village by a fierce & wonderful woman conservationist in 1975. 1/3
