I hope you do!
After reading "Rider in the Widow Lands," Coy Hall's new Sword & Sorcery story, my admiration only grows. This is a terrific, moody tale about a flinty-eyed "hero" whose past, only glimpsed, could surely fill volumes.
I enjoyed the hell out of this story!

This was a fantastic short read.
My only disappointment is that Christopher Lee is no longer with us to narrate the tale like a ghoulish bedtime story.
But I won't judge you if you buy it and do your own Lee impression out loud as you read. I know I did.
Thank you!

Very cool! There aren't enough graver robber novels.
Some kind words about The Knave of Graves.
Thank you, Jack!
For me the toughest parts featured the Indigenous Ket people. I became obsessed with the Ket language when I was an undergrad, and to see the people and glimpses of their culture was special but their marginalization was painful.
Yes, I see that. Parts of it were very hard to watch.
Your Herzog viewing far surpasses my own, but I strongly recommend Happy People: A Year in the Taiga. I think this is actually a Russian doc that he only provided English narration for, but it is incredible. Its setting was a huge influence on my book The Knave of Graves.
The Werner Herzog collection so far. Cave of Forgotten Dreams will be here soon.
Reading Candle Horror feels a little like getting trapped in a curiosity shop. There are preserved heads, Esperanto prayers and insects whispering of transmigration. Plenty of curios, plenty of secrets, each one dark and tragic. Meditative, evocative and very weird. Recommended!
Wow! Congrats!
Reminder: In light of Bad Bunny's Superbowl performance spotlighting Latino culture, here's a hefty list of Latino speculative fiction authors I curated if anyone wants to take a gander and read some phenomenal work. Much love to all!

A terrific review of The Knave of Graves from the Spells & Spaceships blog. Check it out!
Thank you so much, Alex!
Image is βKnight at the Crossroadsβ (1878), a painting by Viktor Vasnetsov. It features an armored man on a white horse, looking across an open field. Text reads Rider in the Widow Lands: A Sword and Sorcery Short Story by Coy Hall.
Experimenting by releasing a short story on Kindle & KU. Rider in the Widow Lands is a 25 page sword & sorcery tale. Available now! Mybook.to/widowlands
This is wonderful. Check it out!
Any day your work gets compared to Jack Vance's is a good day.

I'm digging it.
Little Ghosts has already done so much to foster the local horror community in Toronto and support queer, indie, and emerging writers. I want to see what they do with this space. Let's make this happen!!
Hey friends, can I ask you all to give our @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social Crowdfundr a look? Any amount helps us with our workspace renovation plans, if you're not able (which I understand!), if you could share the link that would be amazing. Love you all! π€π§‘ π»π

REVIEWERS: Hearts Strange & Dreadful by @timmcgregor.bsky.social is now available for review on Netgalley: www.netgalley.com/catalog/book.... If you'd like a physical copy contact us directly.
The Organization Is Here to Support You by @charleneelsby.bsky.social is an incredible bureaucratic horror novel that reads like the love child of Kafka and the Tri-agency Guide on Financial Administration.
I absolutely loved this pitch-perfect, hilarious book.
Inspired by the short story "The Fathomeer" by @mr-thor.bsky.social from the book This World of Vile Wonder π
Didn't come out exactly as I had planned in my head, but there we go!
