Secret Lives of the Dead (2025)
Tim Lebbon
"Secret Lives of the Dead is a knotted and twisted mix of crime and horror. The mystery revolving around the darkest parts of grief is a tale best read at night. Instant preorder."

"Wake Up and Open Your Eyes is the scariest book I have read in years. It's a book for our times and I can't stop thinking about it."
