The cover for “The Howling Dark” by Brittany M. Willows, designed and drawn by the author, set against a blurred image and framed by flowers. Text at the top reads “cover reveal” with the book’s release date of November 9th 2026 at the bottom. Cover illustration features the book’s fair-skinned protagonist crouching amidst snow-covered branches, a spear in hand, dressed for winter.

Book description text for “The Howling Dark” by Brittany M. Willows set against a drawing of a hand touching flowers (art by demon.vinegar). Text reads: Sylvain is an eclipse-born werewolf who knows neither his bestial form nor the post-nuclear wilds his kind hail from. Raised on the orbital research station Zodiac, he’s grown accustomed to a life of peaceful predictability. Though fantasies of visiting his birthplace may be out of reach due to medical restrictions, he has a loving boyfriend and all of his essential needs are met. What more could he want?

In the opinion of his elder brother, the answer is: everything.

Believing them abducted as children, Illia has always sworn to someday return with his brother to the mountains they were taken from. And when a peculiar turn in Sylvain’s health brings to light an ugly truth, someday becomes now—whether Sylvain is ready for it or not.

Soon enough, the brothers find themselves fugitives on the planet’s surface, pursued by the government and bloodthirsty huntsmen, and under the unexpected guidance of the rebel Sundogs. All that lies between them and home is miles of unfamiliar countryside, toxic wastelands, a parasitic garden of death . . . and the question of how much they’re willing to risk in order to get there.

Post image Post image Seventeen-year-old junior class vice president Grace Bak has her entire future all mapped out. With plans to become a doctor like both her parents, Grace has her sights set on Boston University's intensive science summer program--which will put her on the fast track to medical school.
When she's not at school or studying, Grace writes and illustrates her webcomic, Sun God, inspired by the Korean myth of Haemosu about two teenage gods trapped in human form who are cursed to live in the modern world, and perhaps worst of all, to attend public high school. She started the comic as a way to honor her grandmother who used to tell her all the old myths before she died. Grace never expected the comic to go viral, but it has, and she's still spinning from the excitement of having thousands of readers. But somehow the power of all those readers has conjured the real Haemosu and now it's up to Grace to get him back to his own realm.


As Grace and Hae try to figure out a way for Hae to return home, the two become close. Hae challenges everything Grace has ever believed about herself even making her braver in the face of her near-crippling anxiety. Hae learns he is fallible, after all and what it means to sacrifice for those you love.


But Hae isn't the only god to find themselves suddenly trapped in the mortal realm and now a battle is on the horizon. Grace and Hae fight side by side, but in the end, will their burgeoning love keep them together or tear them apart?

Book Banners Don't Know What a Book Ban Is People trying to remove books from libraries insist it's not a book ban. Everyone wants to ban a book, but no one wants to be a book banner.

Even though published almost 4 years ago, this is the best article I've read about book bans. I hope you'll read and share it. #BookSky

The Expanded Earth by Mikey Please If I had to sum up why I like reading, it would be because of the existence of books as good as ‘The Expanded Earth’ by Mikey Please.

I really enjoyed 'The Expanded Earth' by Mikey Please.

It's an American Goldfinch, not a European, but, you know, close enough. It's also not chained. A striking mix of black, white, and bright, highlighter yellow, the small puff of a bird perches on a thin horizontal twig amid leafy late-spring greenery.

If you’re looking for an unusual read and haven’t read anything by Katy Wimhurst then this is a great start. Each short story is like putting on a VR headset. She has a knack of transporting the reader with just a few lines, creating very real characters but in surreal situations. #Booksky
