Visiting the UK in the past couple of weeks I picked up a copy of the latest @forteantimes.bsky.social ,
containing an article on Japanese toilet ghosts by my good friend @lauramauro.bsky.social

It’s their first article for FT, the cover story and a damn good read!

I believe that’s a Vincent Chong cover. He does a lot of the Polish editions.

Edenville by Sam Rebelein, about 150 pages in and not really sure I get what it’s going for tonally. It’s well-written and interesting though so I expect I will stick with it.

We are honoured to bring you the cover reveal for The Damocles Files: The Key of the Abyss by Ben Jones and Anthony Watson. If you are a fan of Supernatural WW2 action adventure, these books are a must read.

I’m only about 40 pages in, but I know what you mean. The strength of his previous Star Wars books has been the action so seems a little slow right now. Also not sure having the trilogy split between three different authors will work out well.

I also have the Star Wars book on the go, as well as The Third Rule of Time Travel by Philip Fracassi (pb) and A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engel (audio)

Cover of Stark Holborn's Ten Low
Cover tones are bright yellow and reddish brown.
A bald woman's head, tilted slightly down with eyes looking up faces the viewer. Semi transparent sand dunes are superimposed from her nose down as if fading from one scene to the next. Rough, red lines criss cross her neck. A circle (planet? Sun?) about the size of a golf ball (scaling against her head) is superimposed over the top left of her head.

Just finishing Mace Windu : The Glass Abyss by Steven Barnes, which has been an absolute blast. The characterisation of Mace is absolutely spot on.
