Hey! I’m Matthew and I am a Literature Loving Book Reviewer. I have a passion for Author Interviews. DM’s are always open! Linktree 👇 https://linktr.ee/beardofdarknessbookreviews
Yesterday I got book mail for my birthday! Love time travel, and this book hooked me from the preface. Read the first pages of Hive by @dlorton.com , and wow, it hit hard fast! Very exciting to dive into this one. Thank you @beardofdarkness.bsky.social for sending this my way.
I am thoroughly enjoying “The Rift Walker” series by @clayharmon2.bsky.social. The first book, “Flames of Mira” has become one of the most visually engaging stories with the most compelling characters I’ve read in a while.
The book, “King’s Dragon” by @kateelliottsff.bsky.social, below I randomly saw in a booktube video, zoomed in to see who the author was, and then instantly ordered it based SOLELY off its beautiful cover. 🧵 continued below 👇

Whoah…this one is ALL the DARKNESS! If you’re a Grimdark/Dark Fantasy fan, DO NOT sleep on “Godblind (Book 1 of The Godblind Trilogy)” by Anna Stephens! #annastephens #grimdark #fantasybook
I predict all who love horror/SFF literature will soon be familiar with greatness that is Phillip Fracassi’s prose. Pick a book, you can’t go wrong. I recommend reading THE AUTUMN SPRINGS RETIREMENT HOME MASSACRE I just finished. It’s out 9/30 #amreading @torbooks.bsky.social @pfracassi.bsky.social

My wife told me to be more in touch with my feminine side….so I crashed the car 😂
I am curious, how long did you wrestle with taking the leap & beginning your first piece of writing? ✍️ #amwriting #Bibliophile
I had to take a minute, drop my Kindle, and let you all know what an amazing experience, atmosphere, and the authors ability to make me FEEL is just MAGNIFICENT. I am truly inspired by “It Wants Us Alive” by @rebeccacantrell.bsky.social 😵. HOLY ****! #amazingread #amreading #itwantsusalive
All 3 of THE GWENDY TRILOGY are united with this one trade paperback. This is great @richardchizmar.bsky.social @stephenking.bsky.social
I’ll tell you what, my guy @ddalglish.com is checking BOXES in “The Radiant King”. I am loving it. It drops in March, so keep an eye or two wide open. @orbitbooks.bsky.social #TheRadiantKing #amreading
One of my FAVORITE series ever is “The Order of The Sanguine” series, co-authored by @jamesrollins.bsky.social & @rebeccacantrell.bsky.social. On March 11, “It Wants Us Alive” by Rebecca Cantrell is dropping and WOW does this sound amazing! Look at this COVER! 🧵
