The Film You Are About to See by Haley Newlin is a creature feature set at a 1950s Indiana drive-in showing classics like House of Wax and The Tingler while a big bug is turning moviegoers into pod people. And, yes, it is as amazing as it sounds. #BookSky

As Many Souls as Stars by Natasha Siegel is an engaging Gothic fantasy romance that spans centuries where magic can cost your soul, and the world is full of love and betrayal and curses and murder. #BookSky TY to #NetGalley and @wmmorrowbooks.bsky.social for the ARC for my unbiased review:

The Bookshop Below — CandiKat Horror The Bookshop Below by Georgia Summers combines two of my favorite things: bookshops and murder. That definitely doesn’t sound right, but you get it. They’re probably two of your favorite things, too.

In #TheBookshopBelow, @georgiasummers.bsky.social built a world where ink is a medium for spell casting & bookshops have opinions - perfect for anyone who loves books or magic & especially both. #BookSky TY #NetGalley, @orbitbooks.bsky.social, & @hachetteaudio.bsky.social for the ARCs

#Gothic by @pfracassi.bsky.social exemplifies what I like about his writing - smart and full of self-referential humor, gruesome imagery, and engaging (if not always likeable) characters and a thrilling plot. #BookSky ARC from #NetGalley and @clashbooks.bsky.social for my unbiased review:

#ShinyHappyPeople is perfect for introducing new horror readers to something approachable but still scary enough for more seasoned horror fans and with all the dark humor we’ve come to expect from @claymcleod.bsky.social. TY #NetGalley and Delacorte for the ARC. #BookSky Full Review:

Another Fine Mess — CandiKat Horror A mix of horror, mystery, and dark humor, with a dash of nostalgia thanks to the mid-90s setting, this second entry in the Bless Your Heart series is as comforting as a cozy mystery - though the body ...

Lindy Ryan has done the improbable, which is to make me grateful that my day job is so pedestrian - unlike the Evans family in Another Fine Mess (follow-up to the hilarious Bless Your Heart), I rarely have to deal with the undead.

The scene in #ThePlaceWhereTheyBuriedYourHeart that I can’t get out of my head is really just a moment - when Jessie finds her mother’s rings. What about you?

#ThePlaceWhereTheyBuriedYourHeart by @christinahenry.bsky.social is not only a legitimately scary story, but running through it is an undercurrent of grief and guilt and a fraught mother-daughter relationship. TY to #NetGalley and @berkleypub.bsky.social for the ARC. Happy Book Birthday! #BookSky
