Laura Elliott recommends
Moon Over Brendle (2026)
Jeff Noon
"Moon Over Brendle is a love story, and a coming of age, and a slice of fantastical sci-fi with a hefty dose of realist dust - just to keep everyone on their toes. Whether you call it Koag, Greot, Specklesoft, or simply storytelling, the mysterious power of words shines through this unique tale about one person's life spent as a witness to life, with all of its wonder, history, and ghosts. This is a perfectly evocative ode to stories and the people that make them."
We Call Them Witches (2026)
India-Rose Bower
"We Call Them Witches is a fresh take on dystopian horror, brimming with eldritch creatures, love and desire, and examining how far we'll go to save our family from what hunts them. I love it."
