Christopher Farnsworth recommends

The Three Coffin Problem (2026)
Lavie Tidhar
"Judge Dee is my favorite vampire, and it's a joy to watch him work in these stories where he reminds us even a monster must have standards - or else. Along with his reluctant but faithful human servant Jonathan, Judge Dee unravels the unique crimes of the undead and delivers justice, or at least the next closest thing. Vampires are rarely ever this smart, and never this funny. Lavie Tidhar has injected new life into the genre, and I thank him for it."

Your Behavior Will Be Monitored (2026)
Justin Feinstein
"Scary and funny and sharply written, this novel keeps you guessing about who will decide humanity's future until the very end."

When We Were Real (2025)
Daryl Gregory
"The best thing Daryl Gregory has ever written. A riveting page-turner that delves into the biggest questions of the universe and still tackles the mysteries of the human heart."
