Books 53 of 2026: the 1993 Collection of the Eden Book Society by @deadinkbooks.bsky.social. Eight novellas by various authors, presented as found books from a tiny British press. Presented here more or less in the order I enjoyed them. Good horror-ish fic.
THE LATEST EDEN BOOK SOCIETY COLLECTION HAS ARRIVED THIS IS THE BEST WEDNESDAY EVER @deadinkbooks.bsky.social
Dead Ink books have this wonderful thing called the EDEN BOOK SOCIETY, which I will link because they explain it better than I do. deadinkbooks.com/pages/the-ed... I backed the 1993 collection sometime last year, and my books all just arrived. They are so pretty!
Well done to @deadinkbooks.bsky.social for another fucked up little beauty of a book. I was literally choked up at the end of this. Big lump in my throat, so, so sad. Never wanted to believe in ghosts so much. Excellent work @saramcclarinet.bsky.social , will be waiting for your next book.
Properly delighted to have unpacked our first #EdenBookSociety edition today! The Rednexorcist by Frank Sloane (you must read the synopsis as it sounds quite something) - a classic rediscovered in the archives of the mysterious Society by @deadinkbooks.bsky.social, or.... #Horrorsky 💙📚🪐
This gorgeous bundle of books & extras arrived yesterday - a collection of forgotten horror gems from a bygone age courtesy of The Eden Book Society, lovingly republished by @deadinkbooks.bsky.social… or so you might think… [smiles obliquely, raises eyebrow] #booksky #horrorsky #deadink
I can’t read every book I have included in this year’s Wigtown lineup but I began this last night and am pleased that I did. I raced through to page 82 before sleep claimed me. WHAT good writing!! Out now from @deadinkbooks.bsky.social And visit the festival website for tickets.
What a gorgeous write-up in The Herald by Susan Swarbrick for Lorna Elcock's immensely moving debut novel THE WINDHOVER 🪶 Coming out this Thursday, so no need to wait. Go get yours now!
I can't remember the last time I was as excited about a book release as I am about the impending drop of @deadinkbooks.bsky.social's 1993 Eden Book Society collection. If I could go to a party at midnight for these, I think I would?

I absolutely loved this book. Monstrilio by Gerardo Sámano Córdova. Tender, ferocious, sad, the terrible and beautiful logic of what is more usually stays hidden. @deadinkbooks.bsky.social @samanito.bsky.social
