Julia Armfield recommends
The View Was Exhausting (2021)
Mikaella Clements and Onjuli Datta
"Deft, funny and tender, The View Was Exhausting is as smart as it is swoon-worthy."
Tell Me I'm Worthless (2021)
Alison Rumfitt
"A sharp and visceral novel which bends the horror genre to its will, Tell Me I'm Worthless holds a gruesome mirror up to the way it feels to live now. I absolutely tore through this book."
Parallel Hells (2022)
Leon Craig
"By turns unsettling, funny and fiercely intelligent, Parallel Hells is a queer carnival of monsters and masks. These stories penetrate the surface of their characters' assumed identities to reveal the glittering realities beneath."
For Thy Great Pain Have Mercy on My Little Pain (2023)
Victoria MacKenzie
"Moving and unexpected, Mackenzie writes with great clarity and tenderness ... I tore through this."
