Perilous Times (2023)
Thomas D Lee
"Like Good Omens with Arthurian knights. Both massively escapist and a persuasive call to action - I've never read a book that treads so happily the ground between making you think, and making you laugh out loud."
Young Women (2022)
Jessica Moor
"Ambitious and arresting in its nuanced treatment of what's usually offered up in black and white. A subtle but compelling plot, a difficult and relatable protagonist. You'll want to read this book."
The Leviathan (2022)
Rosie Andrews
"An outstanding historical debut, which blends emotional resonance with the chill factor of an M R James story. Utterly compelling from start to finish, The Leviathan is a seething, haunting delight."
