IndiebookdayMarch 22nd, 2025 is Indiebookday!You love beautiful and well made books? On Indiebookday you can share this love with everyone! It's quite simple:
oh, I was told that Mark wouldn't want us to be able to read Sarah's book, “Careless People”. So of course I bought it, I'll read it, and am happy to lend it to my friends

#bookrecommendation wanted
I am looking for #gothic (horror) novels by contemporary authors. I don't care if the setting is historical (for instance Regency, Victorian or Edwardian) or contemporary.
I am NOT looking for generic horror, but books with a gothic horror feeling.
I already have some books on my wish list, but I'd love to get more recommendations.
Bonus points if the story has queerness.
If you have published such a book yourself, tell me about it.
I have this plot based on a dream about hallways stretching for miles which connect abandoned rooms and also community bubbles.
In my head this was to have the feel of Larry Niven's "Destiny's Road". I've tried several attempts to write it but each one goes its own way
The first attempt turned into a variation of A. Bertram Chandler's brilliant "Giant Killer" with the hallways being on a spaceship. But it didn't have the right feel in the end and I gave up on that path after writing a few chapters.
The second attempt feels a bit like "Silo" (Hugh Howey's "Wool") but goes off on its own direction (or so I feel).
I like this version better and am about halfway through, but it still misses the original feel I wanted.
Should I try a third iteration? Or keep going?

I'm trying to get "Raisins of Wrath" ready for publication but need to do the cover.
My wife usually does the cover but she's too ill to do anything at the moment. So I thought of giving it a shot myself. I have the rough drawing in place, but not sure how it'll turn out.

A rough sketch for a book cover…
Trying to get "Raisins of Wrath", my novella about a cult (and a conspiracy) surrounding sentient raisins out.
Just need to get the cover done, the book laid out, and a few other things done first while juggling health issues in the family.

I‘ve read Nocticadia and even though I am not a fan of the student/professor-trope, the worldbuilding in this book was really, really good.

"Lügen erscheinen dem Verstand häufig viel einleuchtender und anziehender als die Wahrheit, weil der Lügner den großen Vorteil hat, im Voraus zu wissen, was das Publikum zu hören wünscht."
Zitat von Hannah Arendt, gefunden im Buch "Werbung für die Wahrheit" von Thomas Laschyk vom @Volksverpetzer. Lesenswertes Buch über die Verbreitungsmechanismen von #Desinformation und die Wirkungen von #Faktenchecks.
