I am always waiting every year for those videos of new realeases ❤

I really fancied reading a space-based horror so today I ordered SA Barnes's Ghost Station... I wish I'd seen this video yesterday.

I looked up the upcoming list for Orbit’s new Horror imprint…and I think you might be right about how underwhelming it seems. Then again GBH’s “Masterpiece” initial entry “The First Churchills” was seen similarly,, even by the Late Sir Alistair himself, so who knows..? 🤔

This is unrelated, but have you read Malazan Book of the Fallen?

I fell asleep.

Not usually into horror but Starving Saints and Overgrowth have me intrigued

Khaws new book sounds really intriguing

😊

Look forward to these videos all year! Thanks Thomas

Lots of very interesting titles on the way. Hopefully, the Joe Hill book comes out this year. I'm always excited for more Hailey Piper.

The historical ones caught my attention, especially Stephen Graham Jones, Isabel Cañas, and Caitlin Starling.

I can't wait for KING SORROW! It sounds so damn good!

I don’t want to say Thomas and I are aging, but STEVE KING’S KID HAS A GRAYING BEARD.

I suspect “Spread Me” will be one of 2025’s butter horror novels.

Wait… we’re NOT supposed to worship the meteorite?

Btw, I was at Barnes & Noble last week and indeed, they have a sizable dedicated horror section. Always nice to see.

2025 in horror? I’ll just read the news. (Follow me for more edgy, topical comments like this.)

I was eagerly waiting for this video!🔥 Will be adding books mentioned in my TBR list!

The disclaimer for King could partially or fully be applied to many of his novels now. He may have written more crime based dramas than horror...oh well, I'm loving the resurgence of true horror books over the last few years. King was a trailblazer but others are now carrying the torch, and I'm glad bookstores are stocking up!

So much really cool sounding horror coming up, I can't wait! I've already had a preorder in for The Buffalo Hunter Hunter. All these new books by various favorite authors is exciting!

After receiving the notification, I stopped everything to watch. 2025 is gonna be an awesome year. Again, thanks for doing this. It's very much appreciated. One more to go!! Take care ....

Looking to be a great year in horror!

I loved Semiosis but for some reason I didn't enjoy Interference. But. I might read Usurpation if my library picks it up.

Amazing kist as always. Thanks and i look forward to seeing rhe rest. These are some of my favorite things each year.

I thought it was an incredible book. Every sentence of every paragraph was poetic.

love your videos. Always awaiting your uploads.

I look forward to these videos every year. You’re so good at telling us exactly the info we need to get interested in each book. I actually have e-arcs of Death of the Author and Notes from a Regicide that I’m planning to get to while traveling this week. Also, dang, John Scalzi is busy.

I am so excited for The Unmapping!

Awesome list. I look forward to these videos at the end of every year!

Demon Queen by Martha Wells, the sequel to Witch King, is due out Oct 10th. This is one I'm looking forward the most. After that, I'm really looking forward to Okorafor's new one.

"Where The Axe Is Buried" sounds so good.

"We're a quarter of the way through the 21st century..." No Thomas No SF is a hard sell at the editor level these years. Indie has kind of taken over that space. I do remember rolling my eyes at older folks complaining that the genre had changed and no one was publishing "real" science fiction any more. I guess I'm the older people now...

Out of curiosity, if you want “stakes” why read cozy fiction at all? No (or low) stakes is literally the point of that type of story.

very nice list. Also thanks to @RafBlutaxt for pointing this video out to me.

I went into a B&N for the first time in a while, and wow what a change. A large chunk of the store had been turned into a toy/game section. And they actually separated out the fantasy from the science fiction, and the science fiction section was tiny in comparison. It was depressing. And most of the fantasy book were hardcover, while the scifi was a blend of hard and soft cover.

Thank you for this great list!

Amazing list , thank you so much, adding so much to my already giant tbr

This might be the absolute best line in a summary, crew of horny octogenarians living each day like it’s their last,

I always look forward to this video and your video on upcoming fantasy reads for the year. Your perspective is always appreciated and I love hearing about upcoming projects here that I wouldn't hear about elsewhere. Especially because many booktubers cover the same projects that fit more into the latest trends (romantasy, cozy fantasy etc.), that are fine, but not always what some readers are looking for.

I didn't realise you were back and active again! I'm so happy! I hard agree there is a lot of literary sci-fi recently (looking at your goodreads choice awards) and it makes me sad.

Thanks!

I just want to raise my hand as a big fan of all things cozy sci fi and fantasy. And thanks for all your great videos. Keep em coming. 😊❤

Love these announcements videos! The background music makes it hard to process what you are saying.

This is one of the best channels for Sci-fi recommendations !! I placed a few books on my list thanks to this video!! Happy Holidays!! "Project Hanuman", sounds very interesting!!

These are good picks. I've decided that my goal for 2025 is to read more books than I add to my TBR. My TBR is already so long that I need to figure out how to become immortal to get through it all.

I clicked SO fast! Thank you for your good work 🎉 Brilliant list 🌟

25 in 2025 😊 All the water in the world just reminded me of New York 2140 by Kim Stanley - I’m so looking forward to reading When the Moon Hits your eye!

Speaking of indie published books, did anyone else here read Torche Tombante: Kamiumi? If you want hard hard sci-fi, give it a look.

At last ❤

Thank you for the list. You have some of the most comprehensive sci-fi coverage on youtube!
