Eerie Efficiency · Reader choice

Dark stories deserve to be found. 🖤

In response to recent reports of dark romance books being removed from major retailers, Eerie Efficiency is dedicating a page to spotlighting affected titles—and helping readers find legitimate places to buy them and support their authors.

We believe adults should be able to choose their own fiction. A book disappearing from a storefront shouldn’t mean it disappears from your radar.

We’ll distinguish confirmed removals from developing reports and share author-direct shops and authorized retailers as we verify them.

Your reading choices belong to you. Let’s keep these stories discoverable.
