Paul Kane recommends

Black Days & Bloody Nights (2024)
Greg Chapman
"Greg Chapman's work not only combines vivid description with three-dimensional characters you invest in, his stories make you think. Just the kind of horror I can get behind."
thumb
Marginal (2024)
Tom Carlisle
"An intriguing folk horror novel, with a Faustian twist and a family drama at its core - right up my street!"
thumb
The Synapse Sequence (2018)
Daniel Godfrey
"Reads like Philip K. Dick or Black Mirror meets Michael Crichton, by way of film noir...you really can't go wrong with this one!"
