Joshua Phillip Johnson recommends

The Man of Wind and Moss (2026)
Alex Gonzalez
"The Man of Wind and Moss is a terrifying, thrilling, nightmare show of a novel, and I loved every page of it. Gonzalez has made magic out of folk horror, disaffected youth, intergenerational conflict, and witchy dealings. This is one to read with the lights on and far from the dark, spooky woods."

Dream of the Jet-Black City (2026)
(Dream-Magic Duology, book 1)
Pablo Valcárcel Castro
"Dream of the Jet-Black City is all I hope for in a fantasy novel and more. With powerful poetic prose and characters rich and complex enough to linger long in the mind, Pablo Valcarcel Castro has written a fantasy that should be on everyone's lists and shelves. With as stunning a debut as this one, Valcarcel Castro has established himself as an author to watch."

The Surviving Sky (2023)
(Rages Trilogy, book 1)
Kritika H Rao
"With lush prose, compelling characters, and a wonderfully built world, The Surviving Sky has everything I hope for in a novel. This is a book for anyone who has ever loved and longed for the natural world around them."
