Never invite a detective to a winter retreat, someone always seems to end up dead. In the case of 'Jekyll & Hyde: Winter Retreat' by @timjmajor.bsky.social, you get two private detectives for the price of one.

'The Descent' was the last film to scare me some 20 years ago, but will the novelisation do the same?

Adapted by Christian Francis, and out now.

@almakatsu.bsky.social's Fiend is a nice mix of Succession and The Devil’s Advocate, taking the trauma of family business and throwing some of the underworld into it.

As a lover of history, I adored 'Caesar's Spy' by Jean-Pierre Pecautake and Max Von Fafner. It was dark and visceral but also represented a valid exploration of Caesar at the time.

I love the science fiction of ideas and for its brief 176 pages, 'System Preference' by Ugo Bienvenu poses more questions than most epic space operas.

@sarahjdaley.bsky.social 'Wings of Steel and Fury' is Grimdark, a low fantasy book, that happens to have angels and romance, but this is less love making and more rutting.

@chucktingle.bsky.social's 'Lucky Day' is some of the most enjoyable gonzo fiction I have read in a long time. It is Urban Fantasy, but with a twisted sense of horror and sci fi.

@lamargiles.bsky.social's 'Star Wars: Sanctuary - A Bad Bunch Novel' is a book that is a joy to read. It captures the characters from the show, but also a sense of the wider Star Wars Universe.
