@reactorsff.bsky.socialDon't underestimate a book just because it's YA. This month, expect an undead librarian, a journey through the underworld, and Georgia's infamous Lake Lanier on a quest for revenge. Here's all the new young adult books of October!

@reactorsff.bsky.socialReposted by @reactorsff.bsky.socialThe only thing scary about this list of October romantasy books is the number of options. Your October might be filled with vampires, demons, and monsters...but with love interests like these, who's complaining?
@reactorsff.bsky.socialReposted by @reactorsff.bsky.socialHorror books? In MY October? It's more likely than you think. Here's a list of all the new speculative horror novels coming out this month!
