The Insatiable Volt Sisters (2023)Rachel Eve Moulton"Rachel Eve Moulton's The Insatiable Volt Sisters is an irresistible, storm-drenched thriller about family, power, and the secrets we all keep. I savoured my time on Fowler Island, and was sorry to leave."Thistlefoot (2022)GennaRose Nethercott"Like Neil Gaiman and Susanna Clarke, GennaRose Nethercott understands the precise alchemy of darkness and whimsy that comprise all the best fairytales. Thistlefoot is a near-perfect bedtime story for grown-ups." Echo (2022)Thomas Olde Heuvelt"Thomas Olde Heuvelt is a literary showman, proudly naming and displaying his influences before blending them into something unique and new. ECHO is a heartbreaking, intimate, and genuinely frightening epic." All the White Spaces (2022)Ally Wilkes"ALL THE WHITE SPACES is an old-fashioned adventure story with a refreshing modern twist and a healthy dose of atmosphere and spookiness. Best savored on a blustery winter night, with a hot beverage and a warm blanket for company." Revelator (2021)Daryl Gregory"Daryl Gregory has gifted readers with a period horror novel that somehow feels completely modern, a fast-paced ghost train through a labyrinth of dark wonders. Revelator is the perfect autumn read for fans of the Southern Gothic and the Weird." The Book of the Baku (2021)R L Boyle"The Book of the Baku quickly hooks the reader with its compelling protagonist: a boy without a voice, caught in a web of dark mysteries stretching into his past and future. R.L. Boyle paints a convincing portrait of a teenager growing up special in an indifferent world full of flawed adults, and also reminds us of the importance of the stories we tell, not just to others, but to ourselves. A dark tale with a big heart, and a masterful debut." Whisper Down the Lane (2021)Clay McLeod Chapman"In Whisper Down the Lane, Clay McLeod Chapman has gifted readers a novel that is darkly compelling, deeply discomfiting, and achingly human. We squirm as the dread and terror mount, but we can’t stop reading. We’re under the spell of a true storyteller, and bound to follow him wherever he takes us. Prepare to surrender some sleep for this twisting tale of family, memory, identity, and the weight of old sins." The Bright Lands (2020)John Fram"The Bright Lands is a chilling and fast-paced supernatural thriller that also manages to be a heartbreaking meditation on shame, repression, denial and regret. This strange and beautiful novel is a stunning debut and I'm already hungry for whatever Fram does next." Visitors also looked at these authors
