The Mean Ones (2025)
Tatiana Schlote-Bonne
"The Mean Ones is horror at its best. Think Evil Dead meets Hereditary. From its opening line to its shocking ending, there's no looking away. Smart as it is scary, Tatiana Schlote-Bonne has firmly planted herself as a horror writer of our time. I'll gladly follow this author into any dark corner she wants to take me."

Hello, Juliet (2025)
Samantha M Bailey
"Another banger from Samantha M. Bailey! This thriller grabs you from the opening chapter and doesn't let you go until the shocking twist. The two timelines of a group of actors coming back for a TV show reunion - only for one of them to be found dead - alongside the same cast as young celebrities trying to navigate set life and fame was pure pacing genius. Bailey has solidified herself as a master of thrillers with this one."

They Watch From Below (2024)
Katya de Becerra
"Katya de Becerra has done it again, twisting a tale of mystery, suspense, and scares aplenty all within the confines of a truly terrifying university location. If you liked The Ring with its creepy well and horrifying VHS tapes, then you'll love They Watch from Below. This is horror at its best!"
