#Booksky Spooktacular 2025 Day 10: The @chuckwendig.bsky.social novel that tickles my fear the most is Black River Orchard. Folksy, juicy, with impeccable pacing it maintains over a significant page count. It flew by, and I ate it down to the core before asking for more.

This story made me think of when a child messes up another child's drawing. Happens in families with younger children. Loved, loved this book.
