My current read: ENTER THE PEERLESS by Kyle Winkler. A modern Alice in Wonderland. Totally bonkers and terrifying in all the best ways so far. Cosmic, mid-western horror meets Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Stranger Things. Don't sleep on this one. Go get it from @frombeyondpress.bsky.social.

The immersion and pacing in this pull you in so hard and so fast, you'll be looking over your shoulders with every page you read. I love DeCamillis's ability to create a tight narrative with locomotive-charging action. I'll make you want to get into the sequel immediately with that ending... 1/2
