SCRATCH MOSS blew me away! Wait for a 5/5* star in 2026, when my review for @horrordna.bsky.social is out.
Been in a bit of a reading slump for a couple of weeks. But I’m starting Scratch Moss today and hoping some coal mine horror will do the trick. I loved Barnett’s Scuttler’s Cove, so I am excited for this ARC. Scratch Moss by @davidmbarnett.bsky.social comes out March 5!
