The Best Books of 2025 (So Far) Including memoirs about sex — both having lots and going without.

STOKED! Vulture's best books of 2025 includes SEVEN of our favorite author's books @danielkraus.com @sgj.bsky.social @claymcleod.bsky.social and @blacktopkid.bsky.social among others. I don't recall a recent best of list with more than 1 horror novel. What a year!!

This latest work from Micheal Cisco ( @michaelcisco.bsky.social ) flew off the shelves at Readercon, y'all. Get your pre-order in asap. Trade and Ebook forthcoming.

Thank you, Kat - a privilege to have met you.

We await anxiously.

Cisco is seated at one of the panel desks. He is fixing the audience with a vaguely professorial glare, that threatens to turn into a grin.

The cover of Black Brane. It's one of those covers where the art makes the book look tattered, which is already suffusing the obsessive book collector in me with dread.

Consummate reader @michaelcisco.bsky.social gives us a dose of his forthcoming (technically out Tuesday) book Black Brane.

"The villainy of a random life" indeed.
