Spiderlight is another incredible book from @aptshadow.bsky.social 🕷️

I can’t believe how much I cared for a spider in human form, but then again, I shouldn’t be surprised.

This is a fantastic standalone for DnD & classic quest lovers (with a twist): fanfiaddict.com/review-spide...

“Intensely uncanny, white-knuckle tense, wholly unnerving, Trad Wife by Sarah Langan was one that I basked in the unremitting, methodic, apron-clad dread of. Ballerina farm meets “A King in Yellow,” meets Shirley Jackson.”

The Price of Fear is an absolute master stroke of a debut. Lyon has some of the most polished prose & engaging characters of any book, let alone debut, I’ve ever read. Perfect for fans of @misterkristoff.bsky.social & @zbsteele.bsky.social, & honestly, any grimdark piece of literature pubbed to date

“Trad Wife,” by @saratogaishere.bsky.social is, beneath its sourdough crust and all that gingham, politically engaged, quite rightly enraged and genuinely highly entertaining and cathartic in its excess.

Review: The Fisherman by John Langan | FanFiAddict The Fisherman is a solid tale, with a great sense of cosmic myth in this tragic, grief veined fable.

The Fisherman is a tragic tale of two men's grief, the passion for fishing that bonds them, and the price they're willing to pay for what they want. With a deep sense of myth & foreboding, this is a dark tale I liked, with some caveats.
