Welcome to the now sixth annual State of the Horror Nation.   This is the mega-episode, in which I gather a darkly-inclined supergroup of horror fans and commentators—a horror cabinet, if you will—to cast their informed eyes and minds over the year's best horror.   We talk trends, generation gaps, terrifying moments, and pick what they consider to be their favourite scary books of 2025.   I am just a bystander and the man with the edit button. Bringing the talent and the opinion are Emily Hughes, Anna Dupre and George Dunn. Together they present a tapestry of horror in red and black and other hideous colours.   Suffer your TBR piles.   Enjoy.   Books Picked   Angel Down (2025), by Daniel Kraus Black Flame (2025), by Gretchen Felker Martin Futility (2025), Nuzo Ozoh One Yellow Eye (2025), by Leigh Radford Play Nice (2025), by Rachel Harrison Spread Me (2025), by Sarah Gailey Veil (2025), by Jonathan Janz When the Wolf Comes Home (2025), by Nat Cassidy What Hunger (2025), by Catherine Dang   Books Anticipated   Cruelty Free (2026), by Caroline Glenn Daytide (2026), by Chris Panatier Femme Feral (2026), by Sam Bessinger For Human Use (2026), by Sarah G.

A TBR legújabb vendége Kollár Betti, aki nemcsak napjaink egyik legsikeresebb ifjúsági regény szerzője, hanem a közösségi médiában is rengetegen követik: Instagramon több mint 20 ezres, TikTokon 64 ezres tábort épített. Mitől lesz jó egy ifjúsági regény, hogyan válnak hitelessé a karakterei? És jelen kell-e egy írónak lennie az online térben? Kiderül az adásból. TBR ('To Be Read') podcast A Könyves Magazin és a Bookline közös podcastsorozatában BookTokkerekkel, könyves influenszerekkel beszélgetünk a közösségi média és az olvasás kapcsolatáról. Segíthet a TikTok abban, hogy egyre több fiatal olvasóvá váljon? Vagy a scrollozás csak elveszi az értékes időt a könyvektől? Ezeket a kérdéseket járjuk körül vendégeinkkel, és természetesen könyveket is ajánlunk. A műsor házigazdája: Bakó Sára, a Könyves Magazin újságírója

What were the absolute best books we read in 2025? The ones that didn't just blow us away, but earned the always desired by not always earned: a perfect 5-star score? Today, Jim and Zach reveal their Unshakable 5-Star SFFH Discoveries of 2025 — the science fiction, fantasy, and horror reads that rose above everything else we picked up this year.These aren't necessarily new releases… just the books that hit hard, surprised us, moved us, impressed us, and refused to let go. If you're looking for can't-miss recommendations or the next book to add to your TBR, this episode has you covered.Drop your own 5-star reads of the year in the comments — your recommendations have led us to some of our favorite discoveries, and we'd love to see what rose to the top for you in 2025.Thanks for watching, for liking and subscribing, and for being part of the Fantasy for the Ages community!

Why do some fantasy series absolutely explode while others quietly disappear from your TBR? In this episode of Fully-Booked, Megan and Shirin unpack the rise of romantasy, dark romance, and spicy dragon epics to figure out what really makes a fantasy series go viral.Is there a magic formula behind today's breakout fantasy hits? The hosts talk worldbuilding vs romance, character-driven sagas, the role of BookTok and RomantasyTok, and whether every new “high fantasy” release really needs explicit spice on every other page. They compare classic epic fantasy vibes (Tolkien, The Dark Tower, Shannara) with the current wave of dragon academies, fae courts, and dark romance crossovers, and wonder if we're due for the next shift.If you've ever picked up a “high fantasy” only to discover it's basically an erotic novel with dragons, or you miss old-school worldbuilding where the plot is more than just who's kissing who, this conversation is for you.
