Wanted to update y'all: ideally, I'd like to review 1 more book for #IndiePressMonth ; however, it's most likely that I won't have the time to since I'll be at a con for a week starting on Wed. To those who sent me a book, fear not! It will still be reviewed, just not in March.
March is #IndiePressMonth!
Celebrate with us and take a journey through the fascinating landscape of Chinese literature with THE SUBPLOT: What China Is Reading and Why It Matters, by journalist Megan Walsh

A picture with a dark red, gothic background with the text, “Bez Reviews Independent Books: #IndiePressMonth.” Beneath the text is my (Bez’s) mascot character Dogwater, a cat alien who has black fur on his right side, and cream-colored fur on his left side. The inside of his ears are purple, as are the leaf-shaped antenna sticking out of his head. His face is a TV screen that is currently displaying a triangle split in half with the word “Norbez” written on it. On the right side is the cover of Awaken, My Love: a dark-skin man with short brown hair and red eyes possessively carries a man with light skin and fair hair. The red-eyed man’s features are highlighted by the moon in the window behind his head, and he glares at the viewer, as if we are going to try and snatch up his love. The title of the book has pomegranates positioned around it, and behind those are taut chains.
A promo image for Awaken, My Love, featuring a dark background with pomegranates that have been split open. It reads, “A queer gothic vampire novel about a numb man, a hungry creature, and the castle that wants the rest. March 2026.”
A picture with a dark red, gothic background with the text, “The book is very moody, and everything about it bleeds gothic. From the sentence structure, to the vocabulary, to the plot.” with Dogwater underneath the text.
A picture with a dark red, gothic background with the text, “Link to review in replies!” with Dogwater underneath the text.
It’s another #IndiePressMonth review! Continuing from a short story I reviewed from the TORMENT anthology, we have Awaken, My Love, a debut by @maratearendel.bsky.social about a moody vampire and the man who saves him.

I signed up to be on the review team of @maratearendel.bsky.social 's debut novel, Awaken, My Love. It's an M/M gothic romance with hungry vampires, emotional characters, and a castle full of secrets. My review for it is coming out tomorrow!

A black image with gold text & a gold lace pattern on the top-left & bottom-right corners. It reads, “Bez Reviews Independent Books: #IndiePressMonth”. On the left side is my (Bez’s) mascot character Dogwater, a cat alien who has black fur on his right side, and cream-colored fur on his left side. The inside of his ears are purple, as are the leaf-shaped antenna sticking out of his head. His face is a TV screen that is currently displaying a triangle split in half with the word “Norbez” written on it. On the right side is the cover of TORMENT A GOTHIC ANTHOLOGY: a hand scratches a black background, leaving blood running from the wall underneath where the fingers were/are. On the bottom of the book it reads, “CURATED BY JUNIPER LAKE FITZGERALD.”
My first review of #IndiePressMonth is TORMENT: A GOTHIC ANTHOLOGY! This gothic, gay-as-hell collection of short stories, curated by @ardentgrove.bsky.social , has quite the variety. Should you pick it up? (Hint: yes!)
