Dead First (2026) Johnny Compton "Dead First is a propulsive and eerie tale that questions the true price of revenge. Gripping to the final word, this is my favorite kind of supernatural thriller."
The Body (2026) Bethany C Morrow "The Body is a novel filled to the brim with dark secrets and harsh revelations.

A Blood as Bright as the Moon (2025) Andrea Morstabilini "A BLOOD AS BRIGHT AS THE MOON is a bold new entry into the vampire genre. I've never read a novel that so deftly merges brutality and hope in each and every line. Just as eviscerating as it is healing, Morstablini's English debut is a decadently dark adventure."

You Know What You Did (2024) K T Nguyen "Eerie and unexpectedly emotional, You Know What You Did is a deceptive roller coaster ride.
