DECOMPOSITION BOOK ❤️ by Sara van Os is a love story between Savannah (neurotic; compulsive; Hot Mess™) and Ava (corpse). Ava makes the ideal companion - she's a great listener, she's not going to leave any time soon - how can Savannah NOT fall for her?

Or, at least, what's left of her.

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)

Here’s some more 2026 books that I’m looking forward to this year

A cracking start to the year from @deadinkbooks.bsky.social, A Beast Slinks Towards Beijing is a great novel from Alice Evelyn Yang #books

3 books - The Atlas of Hell by Nathan Ballingrud; Uncanny Ed by Dan Coxon and Richard Hirst; Unquiet Guests Ed by Dan Coxon

Writer's Bundle - Dead Ink Books Whether you're looking for the ideal gift for your favourite writer or just love listening to writers talk about writing, this is an essential collection to have in your library.

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?

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!

Unquiet Guests - hardcover edition ed Dan Coxon

Then there’s I am the House by @gradyhendrix.bsky.social

Woah! 👏👏👏

Can’t wait to read the rest …

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
