So, for 2025, I present you a Top 15 of fantasy, thriller, horror, post-apocalyptic, and historical fiction flavors!

"Silence of the dead" (@andiewington.bsky.social and @ericamarks.bsky.social) was an entertaining read, even if more "Cast a Deadly Spell" for D&D archetypes than Pratchett or Cook, but still a fun and amusing palate cleanser.
