@sjshank.bsky.socialThanks Gabino!
My new medieval horror novella OUR LADY OF HOLY SLAUGHTER came out on Sep. 22. It's a brutal medieval fantasy about desperate crusaders confronting pagan folk horrors on the Baltic frontier.

@jackguignol.bsky.socialReposted by @sjshank.bsky.socialBook 88 of 2026: @sjshank.bsky.social, Our Lady of Holy Slaughter
German crusaders, their native guides, and a papal knight flee from their pagan enemies after a calamitous rout. This is a grimdark survival horror novel with touches of folk horror--and I highly recommend it!
@sjshank.bsky.socialπππ ππππ ππ ππππ πππππππππ is now available everywhere in paperback!
Theoretically, at least. You'll likely have to ask your local bookstore to place a special order. It's also available online through Amazon and national chains like Barnes & Noble.
@sjshank.bsky.socialI had a blast at Little Ghosts Fest today! Thanks to everyone who dropped by, chatted and bought a book. Thanks also to @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social for hosting us at the @hwaontario.bsky.social table!

@quillofarkham1.bsky.socialReposted by @sjshank.bsky.socialOur Lady of Holy Slaughter by S. J. Shank, bleak, brutal medieval folk horror. Stranded in a swamp during the Northern Crusades, crusaders face pagan warriorsβand something stranger. Atmospheric, creepy, wonderfully miserable, great characters and unsettling supernatural elements.
@sjshank.bsky.socialThanks for the review!

@katsilvaauthor.bsky.socialReposted by @sjshank.bsky.socialDevilry in Godling Wood, fashioned as a medieval fable, is one of @coyhall.bsky.social's best works to date. The language is lush, painting the hamlet, castle, and surrounding woods in thin, serpent-skin shadow. If you love folk and medieval horror, don't sleep on this.
