Books containing stories by Ed James
Ed James recommends
Some of Us Are Liars (2025)
Fiona Cummins
"In Some of Us Are Liars, Fiona Cummins provokes deep emotions in the reader and makes those pages turn at a rapid clip. An astonishing novel."
Blood Like Mine (2024)
(Blood , book 1)
Stuart Neville
"A visceral, cinematic masterpiece. Silence of the Lambs filtered through the lens of prime Stephen King. You won't read a more gut-wrenching novel this year."
The Hike (2022)
Susi Holliday
"The Hike is a dark journey into the past and the future. Full of twists and shocking reveals, I loved the beautifully evocative landscape and the well-drawn characters."
