Review by Jonathan Wilkins of "The Therapist's Daughter" by Megan Taylor My usual thriller and mystery oeuvre is Nordic noir; apart from that I do love a Golden Age mystery thrillerΒ  I usually ignore British crime...

Nightjar Press publishes limited-edition short stories in chapbook format. Uncanny, dark, strange, weird, experimental. But that’s enough about editor @nicholasroyle.bsky.social & designer @johnoakey.bsky.social. Where can we buy them, you ask? nightjarpress.weebly.com

A very complex diagram which begins with the question "Do you need a a gift for someone" but, despite many questions and choices, always suggests either giving a book or buying a book for yourself, or gets in a huff and says "I give up!".

A helpful gift shopping algorithm that I made for @theguardian.com a couple of years ago.
