While I feel it's a bit early to nail down any best-of-the-year lists, I'm glad Bookbub enjoyed A GAME IN YELLOW and gave it a place among these terrific horror titles of 2025 so far by Alma Katsu, RF Kuang, Rachel Harrison, Stephen King, Stephen Graham Jones & more 💛
www.bookbub.com/blog/best-ho...
Riffing on the classic horror story The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers, Bram Stoker Award–winning author Hailey Piper tells the story of Carmen, who is bored in her relationship and anxious that she’s losing her hold on her girlfriend, Blanca. In an effort to keep Blanca interested, Carmen has been pushing her physical boundaries, ultimately leading her to discover a play that makes its readers feel euphoric — at a cost. Carmen is warned that reading too much of the play will drive her insane, but she keeps chasing the high she feels when she reads it, seeking out more and more of the text. As she reads, her sense of reality begins to slip in horrifying ways… but she can’t stop. The Best Horror Books of 2025, article by Jeff Somers, showing the cover of Katabasis by R.F. Kuang amid lit candles

The stomach has stretch marks, proudly on display. Her one leg is bent, thighs soft with cellulite. Gold leaf accents swirl around her arms in an implication of magic.

They believe in God. We believe in witchcraft.

Remind me again, which one of those beliefs caused more death?

And, now we have the AI god. Ironic, isn’t it?

When you try to have a decent conversation with @reasonableladriel.bsky.social but her autocorrect is horny 🌶️🔥🙀

(Translation french to English in alt text)
Screenshot of a conversation between me and my friend about telegram reducing gif use. And her auto correct miscorrect gif (with a typo) for gode meaning sextoy in french. Instead of having her saying "I love throwing/sending gifs and memes" it says "I love sending/throwing sextoys and memes". I answer this with a même of a man saying let god take you

A new day at work to moderate stupid tiktok content (guys please create interesting content, think of the poor moderators who spent 8h/day watching it 😂).

I'm just at the beginning but I hope it kicks soon because the start is boring me a little bit right now 😔 any one read it ?
