A dizzying, disorienting must-have for readers looking to emotionally decimate themselves, “Nightjars,” by @michaelwehunt.bsky.social is an utter triumph of high altitude horror. A vampire story that leaves its readers lightheaded also. @stmartinspress.bsky.social
Review: Nightjars by Michael Wehunt | FanFiAddict
Synopsis: On a rainy night, Luke Oshel gets stood up halfway through dinner. But before his date walks off to the bathroom and never returns, she leaves an ...

I’m launching a podcast where every week I will force my easily-terrified mother to watch a horror film with me, and then we’ll crack a bottle of wine, talk about the film and other horror news, and get ready to do it all over again.
A bloody fairytale, a travelogue across familiar and distant lands, an unclassifiable blend of genres, an odyssey, and an epic revenge story, Blacktail by Scott Hawkins is a gory, misanthropic zinger. fanfiaddict.com/review-black...

Thank you to @georgesreads.bsky.social and FanFiAddict for this wonderful review! ❤️ THE MINIMALIST, my psychological horror novel of classical music, adoptee identity & artistic unraveling, releases August 18th. 🥚
George Dunn@georgesreads.bsky.social · 2w ago“A novel that walks the line between artistic brilliance and complete self-annihilation with bleeding feet, @kaileepedersen.bsky.social’s sophomore novel is as rich as it is devastating and elegant as it is grimace-worthy.” @stmartinspress.bsky.social

With the grisly, irreverent fun of a grown-up Goosebumps or perhaps Grady Hendrix anchored with a Pet Sematary-esque moral temptation, The House That Eats The Dead, by Max Doty is an absolute pageturner. I inhaled this novel in a manner its house would be proud of. @torbooksuk.bsky.social

“Happy Hour,” by @manylittlewords.bsky.social is a bloody good time, a salt-rimmed, blood-splattered, pulpy cocktail of excess, comeuppance, liquid courage and lethal consequences that readers will down garnish and all in a single, breathless gulp. (OCT 20th @shortwavebooks.bsky.social )

A vicious collision of the extreme and the gothic “We Turn Gruesome At Night,” by @ericlarocca.com is poetic and vile in equal measure- a claustrophobic and uncomfortable novel that is over the moon, positively delighted to be just that. (SEPT 8TH @titanbooks.bsky.social)
Review: We Turn Gruesome At Night (Burnt Sparrow #2) by Eric LaRocca | FanFiAddict

Nothing says summertime horror like examining Sleepaway Camp (1983). Aigner Loren Wilson has crafted a very thorough community history to take the pulse of the cultural impact of this queer cult classic with "A Queer Community History of Sleepaway Camp (1983)": www.darkertimes.com/sleepaway-ca...

A haunted house novel, full of familiar furniture: gnarled beams and scares in the attic, but also an astronomical amount of heart, “Worry Box,” by @scribeofhades.bsky.social delivers in spectacular fashion. [ @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social September 22nd]

A groovy, glittery supernova of a roadtrip novel that will wrap a feather boa around your neck and garrote you, @chucktingle.bsky.social’s latest, “Fabulous Bodies,” reeks of hairspray and is the very essence of rock n roll baby. (JULY 7TH @tornightfire.bsky.social @titanbooks.bsky.social )

It’s the critical consensus that @pfracassi.bsky.social can WRITE– bold, all caps. What his latest collection Traps and Specters has confirmed to me however, is that he can write pretty much anything. You get a whole lot of bang for your buck here. @shortwavebooks.bsky.social 9/22

“This B Just Won’t Die,” has an important message at its heart, one that @tanyapell.bsky.social clearly had no qualms about splitting it down the middle and cracking open its ribcage to get to. A bloody good time for those who thought “Scream,” lacked sequins. (OCTOBER 13TH)
