Moby Dick by Herman Melville.

A close friend raved about this book to me twenty years ago. It's been on my TBR ever since. I'm not that good with the classics.

Started watching this German spy thriller yesterday. One of the main characters is menopausal and keeps having hot flushes. There aren't many times I can recall seeing this on the screen. It's refreshing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV19...

Gore Poetics by Samir Sirk Moratรณ. I write a lot of short fiction so i'm on lookout for collections. I love the title and cover art. And this blurb sold it to me: "The stories inย Gore Poeticsย explore intimacy and annihilation through visceral, wet prose." Pre-order: Cursed Morsels Press ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿ“š

The Scarlet Gospels is on my TBR pile, and I've been putting off reading it, I guess because both author and me have probably changed a lot since I last read those works.

Try and make that happen. I read the Books of Blood short story volumes of thirty years ago and I still remember those damn stories. His novel Imajica is fabulous

One of those arrow-laden book promo images for Tradwife 

Image, titled Tradwife: Deconstructed, shows a thumbnail cover of the book in the centre, with arrows shooting off it promising:
fictional true crime
feminist rage
Handmaid's Tale & Penance vibes 
found footage format
misogynist cults

TRADWIFE
Family. Community. Tradition.
Annihilation.
Everyone remembers the Heart of Solomon murders: three young married couples
[REDACTED] around the dinner table, their bodies desecrated, in the UK's first and only purpose-built Tradwife community.
And no suspect ever charged.
Writer Gina Lewis wants to know. Her plan: talk to the people who knew the three dead couples best, and try to understand what brought them to the Heart of Solomon.
Puzzle out why they REDACTED] - and how the "traditional marriage" Arcadia they were promised turned so dangerous, so quickly.
And she'll keep going until she finds the truth. No matter what it costs her.

Graphic shows Rat-She book on the left on a post-apocalyptic background.
A blurb for the book is shown on the right:
RAT-SHE is a paranoid tale of survival and metamorphosis in a post-apocalyptic, Boschian landscape--a world made unrecognizable by atrocity and a species forever altered in wondrous and horrific fashion. Stephanie Ellis has a knack for making the most ruthless of scenarios read like unfolding folklore, and RAT-SHE is a fine demonstration of that. This tale mesmerized me and creeped me the hell out in equal measure.

Shane D. Keene, Elgin and Dwarf Stars nominated poet

I've done some searching and couldn't find any starter packs for Welsh and Wales-based speculative fiction people. So, I thought I'd try my hand at creating one. If you'd like to be included, give me a nudge.
