Spiderlight is another incredible book from @aptshadow.bsky.social 🕷️
I can’t believe how much I cared for a spider in human form, but then again, I shouldn’t be surprised.
This is a fantastic standalone for DnD & classic quest lovers (with a twist): fanfiaddict.com/review-spide...

Nothing boils my piss more than when I can't easily get my hands on a book I want. For example, the book has a limited print run, or it is not published in the UK.
Well, obviously, things like Trump and Farage and ICE boil my piss more, but you get what I'm going for.

The Fisherman is a tragic tale of two men's grief, the passion for fishing that bonds them, and the price they're willing to pay for what they want. With a deep sense of myth & foreboding, this is a dark tale I liked, with some caveats.
