Grappling with some serious existential & financial angst today. Friendly reminder I've got two fun books with big ideas out that cool readers seem to really enjoy. Would love for you to check 'em out, too
As a debut indie author, I’m really grateful to have found the readers I have with these two books. Would be honored to have them considered alongside 2025’s other great new releases!

@michaelwhelan.bsky.social Nifft the Lean is one of my favorite Sword & Sorcery books of all time, as is the amazing cover. Could you talk a bit about how this cover came to be? Did the brief describe this scene specifically, or were you provided a manuscript to make your own choices? Thanks!

Beyond the simple moral imperative to feed people with no strings attached, I think it's important to consider the beautiful, transformative things that happen when people no longer have to spend all their energy fighting for their basic needs. Life becomes so much better for everyone in every way!

Sorry, here’s the start of the thread!
Started reading A DARK MATTER and becoming convinced that it’s Peter Straub riffing on M John Harrison’s THE COURSE OF THE HEART — Straub collected a novella-length version under the name “The Great God Pan” in his “Poe’s Children” anthology from ‘08 — but further departures await, I’m sure.

Sorry, here’s the start of the thread!
This is turning into a fantastic thread about Peter Straub, M John Harrison, Machen, and weird fiction. Thanks @basicchunnel.bsky.social for such illuminating insights!
Picking up a Peter Straub novel I hadn’t gotten around to, after last night’s lovely remembrance at Books Are Magic, and it’s the most thrilling feeling to be so sprung upon by a book you share a kind of secret with
Oh yeah he Read That Book

I’ve got a new story coming to godless soon.
“AIN SOPH AUR”
Here’s a blurb about it from BR Yeager…
"Shelton expertly hauls the weirdness of Ashton Smith and Hodgson into the 21st century accelerationist security state. Suspect everything. Fear everything."

This trilogy connects with the plot of the Weird Luck webcomic, in strange oblique ways that will be referenced in the next chapter of the comic's main storyline (coming in January). Most notably, the 3rd book of the trilogy includes the last known sighting of Max before his appearance in the comic.
We are delighted to share all three books in the Weird Luck trilogy by Andrew M. Reichart. Two are ready and Cannibal King is on the way. We'll ship these three together in November.

I spent several formative months studying alongside artist Ted Seth Jacobs, who painted this cover, and designed the creatures for the film. ‘Communion’ terrified me when I first read it the mid-90’s. Absolutely iconic painting
COMMUNION by Whitley Strieber.
Huge fan of the movie, still need to read the book.
Haven’t read any Strieber yet, actually. Just amusing to me that a horror writer wanted to sell his alien abduction story as something that really happened to him.
