I watched this film as a young child back in the early 80s and it freaked me out for ages. 😱 I’ve never watched it again since, but I think I’ll have to rectify that in October. 🤓

REVIEW: The Bonehunters by Steven Erikson This book is another masterpiece from Erikson. The Bonehunters is frequently listed as a favorite by the fans and it’s for good reason.

Steven Erikson’s The Bonehunters is a bloody, ash-covered success that fulfills the promise of war whispered by House of Chains.

Dark academia meets cosmic horror in this murderous tale of betrayal and broken hearts at an elite academy for the gods and monsters of the world.

THE LIBRARY AT HELLEBORE by Cassandra Khaw is perfect for fans of The Atlas Six and If We Were Villains 📚

Robin Hobb: Assassin’s Apprentice It was last summer viewing John Howe's art that I really thought I should read some Robin Hobb. Most of the artwork on display depicted scenes from another well-loved fantasy realm: Tolkien's Middle-earth, but a number of drawings and paintings were scenes from Hobb's books. I knew Robin Hobb to be one of the classic fantasy authors, but I'd not gravitated towards her works before.

Robin Hobb's Assassin's Apprentice is one of the most satisfying fantasy reads #bookreview #fantasybooks #fantasyseries

The Unbelievable Scale of AI’s Pirated-Books Problem Meta pirated millions of books to train its AI. Search through them here.

To my astonishment, one of my #books has also been used to train #Facebook’s AI plagiarism “model”, so even those of us at the bottom of the food chain are not spared from #tech billionaire avarice. 🙄
