I hope you're hungry for Katie Huttlestone's debut novel A HEALTHY APPETITE 💊 A deliciously dark story about Hannah; lifelong veggie, chronically ill, and given the chance to participate in an experimental drug trial that'll give her back her taste for life.
And with it, a ceaseless hunger...
It's a Leather Boys kind of afternoon – what a lovely edition. Book written 1961 & was filmed in 64 @deadinkbooks.bsky.social

TFW you're proofreading a book and you have to go get another cup of tea instead because it's so sad and lovely that it's making you cry.
(looking at you, @deadinkbooks.bsky.social)

If you want to buy a gift for a writer, this collection is a steal and a trove. You may end up beta-reading their uncanny scifi magical murder mystery in six months' time, but wouldn't that be fun?
(From @deadinkbooks.bsky.social - many other 50% off deals.)

My final #BookReview of the year is one from my backlist...the beautiful, weird and terrific Monstrilio by Gerardo Sámano Córdova from @deadinkbooks.bsky.social
Here's what I thought 👇

My hand holding a copy of "A Beast Slinks Towards Beijing" by Alice Evelyn Yang. The cover is a somewhat psychedelic image of a rabbit among flowers.
What a treat to come home to.
Thank you, @deadinkbooks.bsky.social!
Back cover of Unquiet Guests: ‘A house is more than just a place to lay your head at night. Sometimes the walls remember. Gathering 10 modern masters of the strange and the unsettling Unquiet Ghosts sets fire to the blueprints and reimagines the haunted house from the foundations up …’
Unquiet Guests - hardcover edition ed Dan Coxon
Just read the first story from this anthology from @deadinkbooks.bsky.social. Love @dancoxon.bsky.social’s intro - was inspired to jot some ideas down for first time in months.
Then there’s I am the House by @gradyhendrix.bsky.social
Woah! 👏👏👏
Can’t wait to read the rest …
For those in the UK, just wanted to put on your radar that @deadinkbooks.bsky.social is republishing Randall Keenan’s first novel, A Visitation of Spirits, as part of their Outside Classics series and yours truly has written the introduction. Pre-order your copy today!

New Review - a brilliant short story collection showing there is still a lot to do with the idea of the haunted house. I strongly recommend Unquiet Guests edited by Dan Coxon out now with stunning stories to unsettle - officially out next week go get it! www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2025/10...

Monstrilio, by Gerardo Sámano Córdova, is a wonderfully weird book which follows the lives of our central characters Magos, Lena, Joseph and M. This monstrous yet loving novel discusses themes of grief, sadness, identity and sexuality, to name a few1/5
@samanito.bsky.social @deadinkbooks.bsky.social
