Keeping the book recs rolling with this beauty by @isabelcanas.bsky.social
A story of a woman desperate for autonomy (and the perfect mix of horror and romance 👩‍🍳💋)

Today's book rec is a one of a kind ghost story that blew my mind 🤯 The Haunting of Velkwood is the perfect read for spooky season!

If we've talked books, I've likely already recommended Rachel Harrison's work, but her latest novel Play Nice needs to top your TBR pile right 👏 this 👏 minute. It's horrific, humorous, and scarily relatable. 💜 @rachelharrison.bsky.social

Happy to brighten your feed with another recent horror read on this rainy Tuesday: Her Wicked Roots by @tanyapell.bsky.social came out earlier this month, and I highly recommend picking up a copy! I couldn't put down this twisty tale of mystery, romance, and horror 🌱

After StokerCon this year, my TBR pile was (and still is) overwhelming... but I was lucky to pick up this book by @jvgachs.bsky.social and devoured it in a weekend! A story of self-discovery, pain, and pleasure, Unholy and its Satanic cult had me in its clutches and kept me hooked to the very end.

One of my favorite recent reads on Audible was @sgj.bsky.social 's The Buffalo Hunter Hunter. I love what he did with vampirism in this and really enjoyed the structure of the storytelling through three linked POVs.

I'm a little late to the game but each October I try to share a few of my favorite recent reads! Just got this beauty at Antigone Books in Tucson and I'm really enjoying the lore and art within 🖤🖤🖤 @icysedgwick.bsky.social

A mood board for my current work in progress featuring a few wild friends 💙 Researching the flora and fauna of my setting is one of my favorite parts of writing! Any guesses where this story takes place? #wip

How can I even start to sum up my first StokerCon?! My head is still spinning. I met sooo many talented writers and artists, many of whom I'm now happy to call friends ❤️ I did not take enough photos, but damn, the past few days are going to live rent free in my head for a long while.
