A list of exciting (largely unannounced) upcoming Tor titles for late 2026. Only one book does not have the author and title listed, and instead reads “Tor October 2026 Title To Be Announced.” Incredibly suspicious.

October Spooky Reads: It Was Her House First by @cheriepriest.com

I maintain Cherie is at her best when she is writing about hauntings, and here she interweaves past and present to deliver a ghost story with a delightful ending. It's almost cozy creepy? Is that a genre? A+ pacing & characters.

This looks very cool!

Miss you!!!

A warhammer combat patrol (Adepta Sororitas) arrayed on a kitchen worktop. The minis are painted, but not expertly. There are 27 figurines, not that I was counting or anything. They are mostly wearing red and black with some weird zombie types to the left hand side.

After quite a long time, I’ve finally finished painting my Adepta Sororitas combat patrol. Do I know how to play Warhammer yet? No. Do I suspect that’s not actually the point of the game? Yes. Am I going to buy more mini figures to paint because it’s fun even if I have no idea what they do? Also yes

Gaza is starving.

We want to believe sustained international pressure will allow us to save as many lives as possible in Gaza. But so far we’re not seeing the scale of change we need.
