I'm reading a lot more short story collections lately, spending time with a single author's body of work and that's been so much fun! Yesterday I finished @kristinaten.bsky.social's forthcoming collection TELL ME YOURS, I'LL TELL YOU MINE (10/14/25) and had such a marvelous time! 1/5

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about THE LIBRARY AT HELLEBORE by Cassandra Khaw. The goopiest, goriest magic school imaginable where each student is calamity & the classwork is killer. A phantasmagoria of devastation. Our drink, a Fig Wasp, is rich, heady, & oh so supple.

I’ve been slowly building up my back issues of Old Moon Quarterly this month, spending time in worlds of dark fantasy & sword and sorcery over morning coffee. Familiar friends, & fresh voices in my reading, bristling sharp steel & strange sorceries. What a delight! I can't wait to snag more issues!

One thing I'm loving about spending more time in the sword and sorcery milieu is that it's not the genre of curing cancer, it's the genre of turning people into dinosaurs, y'know?

I'll have more to say (and sip) in a couple months, but you NEED to preorder THE WORKS OF VERMIN by @hironennes.bsky.social. It is ambitious powerful speculative fiction, soaked in ichor & perfume, a vengeful fever dream of operas, executions, & unending revolution in a Weird city riddled with rot.

Arioch, are you free next Friday 👉👈
Excerpt from MICHAEL MOORCOCK’s ELRIC OF MELNIBONÉ:
From his hoarse throat and through his parched lips Elric was able to
utter but one word:
"Arioch?"
And a beautiful youth stood where the fly had hovered. The beautiful youth spoke in a beautiful voice-soft and sympathetic and yet manly. He was clad in a robe that was like a liquid jewel and yet which did not dazzle Elric, for in some way no light seemed to come from it. There was a slender sword at the youth's belt and he wore no helm, but a circlet of red fire. His eyes were wise and his eyes were old and when they were looked at closely they could be seen to contain an ancient and confident evil.
"Elric."
That was all the youth said, but it revived the albino so that he could raise
himself to his knees.
"Elric."
