👁️ Did someone say LIMELIGHT paperbacks?! 👁️

The colors are gorgeous and impossible to capture with a camera, but I tried. Now I'm even more excited for the hardcovers to arrive!

@lyndseycroal.bsky.social's stories are so good, I can't wait for y'all to read this collection.

Still super jetlagged but in my 2am fugue I did somehow outline a new Scottish gothic horror book with dark academia and cult vibes... 👀💁‍♀️

When I was searching for climate fiction writers for the next Writing the Occult, @lyndseycroal.bsky.social suggested @renanbernardo.bsky.social, who's just released a solarpunk/clifi shorts collection. So yep: he's our next panelist! How do science, tech & human relations intersect in clifi? 🧵⬇️

Given my author website a bit of an update to now have a BOOKS (plural, eek!) section! You can find there a note on all my upcoming longer works, blurbs, reviews etc. I definitely need to give the website a slight makeover, but working on it...! ☺️ ✨🚀 www.lyndseycroal.co.uk

Really enjoyed this fun little novelette by @lyndseycroal.bsky.social ! It deals beautifully with the intersection between obsession, addiction, and technology, and the main character is a perfect blend of sympathy-inducing and cringe 💜 Extra bonus points for being set in Edinburgh! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Issue #10 is out! Weird sci-fi, queer horror (shocking I know), our first hopeful story!, a dark 'Your Grandma Might Be A Vampire' tale, and Sierra Leonian cosmic horror.

Plus reviews, an interview with Carson Winter, and essays on murder kink and meat horror. Enjoy!
