Out of the Drowning Deep by A.C. Wise

A sci-fi murder mystery novella that will have you praying to gods old and new.

This is a wildly imaginative and beautifully written novella which really excels in character development. Our main characters are a newly created angel, an investigator with addiction issues and an automaton that has achieved consciousness, but worries he may not have a soul. All of this on the backdrop of a lone tower, on a forgotten planet where a key religious leader known as 'the pope' has been murdered.

Through the Woods by Emily Carroll

🍁Terrifying collection of short stories centring around nightmares in the forest🍁

I read my first E.M Carroll book last month, A Guest in the House, and it blew my mind. So I immediately ran to read another from them and I am so glad I did.

The illustrations are terrifying and the creative use of panels propels the story forward, or makes you sit in the fear, whichever E.M wants you to do in that moment. It's genius!

The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher

A horror fantasy about getting trapped between parallel worlds that will make you think twice before opening strange doors.

This is one of my favourite T. Kingfisher books! I love the references to Narnia and Alice in Wonderland. The horror is a low, creeping dread that gets more intense and claustrophobic as the story continues.

The Deading by Nicholas Belardes

You'll want to stare into the void and never look back after reading this gorgeously written eco-horror book.

Deading started as a social media trend where teens pretended to be πŸ’€, eyes open, in random places like elevators, sidewalks, etc. However, when an entire town starts doing it, something is clearly wrong.

Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle

A monster horror, sci-fi which blurs the lines between art and product.

This was my first visit to the Tingleverse and it did not disappoint. I love the mix of horror with sci-fi beneath the themes of queerness and it's connection to unrestrained capitalism.

I Do Not Apologize for My Position on Men by Rae Wilde

A sapphic short story horror collection that will have you craving toxic love.

I kept trying to find a favourite story in this collection and each one just kept outdoing the last. What connects these stories are toxic love, feminine rage and selfish desires. The prose in the writing combined with compelling characters and thought-provoking stories left me breathless.
