Julia Armfield recommends

Spoiled Milk (2026)
Avery Curran
"Spoiled Milk is a dirty little jewel of a novel, as thrilling as it is unsettling, as moving as it is frequently horrifying. Curran writes with incredible precision on fear, desire and the insidiousness of authority and empire. A truly impeccable novel."

Horror Movie (2024)
Paul Tremblay
"Horror Movie is a gift of a novel, combining creeping dread and slippery narrative twists with a palpable love for the genre. Paul Tremblay is unmatched in creating horror that feels at once outsized and disturbingly personal. God I loved this book."

The Ministry of Time (2024)
Kaliane Bradley
"The Ministry of Time is a feast of a novel - singular, alarming and (above all) incredibly sexy. An astonishingly assured debut, offering weird and unexpected delights on every page. I will be running towards whatever Kaliane Bradley writes next."
