Do you want some weird, gothic, horror with hints of mythology in your life?

It's SFINCS Review Time!

These are my (Nils') thoughts on A Hunger With No Name, by @teffeau.bsky.social

It's a heavy read, but well worth your time in this day and age.

Hello all, how about a book review for Wednesday afternoon? (it's afternoon here /nils)

The Weaver & The Wyrm, by Ben Galley, is the kind of book I'd once have loved but which now doesn't really work for me.

Read my thoughts on it. /n

Reap, Sow by S.H. Cooper SFINCs3 Book Review Reap, Sow does an excellent job blending together psychological horror and a loss of self.

This was a great blend of horror elements and a quick, satisfying read that I picked up thanks to SFINCS. #booksky💙📚

Sunbathers by Lindz McLeod SFINCs3 Book Review Sunbathers is for readers looking for a story that makes them uncomfortable. A story that takes the concept of erotic horror and aligns it in a chilling way to how human beings behave.

Me running out of time to post on Blue Sky before work. 🙃 So here we are at my lunch break with a post! #booksky💙📚🪐 #SFINCS

Banner image for our SFINCS finalist announcement. It's originally the banner from the semi-finalist announcement, but most of it has been painted over in black, and the word FINALISTS has been sprayed over.

Oh, hey! It's SFINCS o'clock, and we have some finalists to announce.

Two finalists, to be exact. Two excellent books well worthy of your time and attention - especially if you're on the prowl for something a little dark and gothic...

Devil wasn't one of my initial books, but I picked it up on recommendation from a teammate. I'm so glad I did (it had been on my TBR before the contest, but this gave me the nudge)! #SFINCS3
