Do you want some weird, gothic, horror with hints of mythology in your life? May we suggest you read From These Dark Abodes, by @lmanusos.bsky.social Check out Nils' review here: www.readindiefantasy.com/book-review-... #BookSky #SFINCS
It's SFINCS Review Time! These are my (Nils') thoughts on A Hunger With No Name, by @teffeau.bsky.social It's a heavy read, but well worth your time in this day and age. www.readindiefantasy.com/book-review-...
Hello all, how about a book review for Wednesday afternoon? (it's afternoon here /nils) The Weaver & The Wyrm, by Ben Galley, is the kind of book I'd once have loved but which now doesn't really work for me. Read my thoughts on it. /n www.readindiefantasy.com/book-review-... #BookSky #SFINCS
This was a great blend of horror elements and a quick, satisfying read that I picked up thanks to SFINCS. #booksky💙📚 @thesfincs.bsky.social www.behindthepages.org/post/reap-so...
Reap, Sow by S.H. Cooper SFINCs3 Book Review
Reap, Sow does an excellent job blending together psychological horror and a loss of self.

Sunbathers by Lindz McLeod SFINCs3 Book Review
Sunbathers is for readers looking for a story that makes them uncomfortable. A story that takes the concept of erotic horror and aligns it in a chilling way to how human beings behave.
