The Underhistory (2024)
Kaaron Warren
"An inventive, layered haunted house novel, where ghosts reside amid the dust and each room holds its own message for the unwary visitor. Kaaron Warren is one of a kind."
thumb
Where the Dead Wait (2023)
Ally Wilkes
"An astonishing achievement. The writing is raw, bloody and powerful, and makes me wonder if Ally Wilkes has fire and ice flowing in her veins. This is a book not so much to be described as experienced, so most definitely don't miss it!"
thumb
The Grief House (2023)
Rebecca Thorne
"Steeped in mysteries and floodwaters alike, the supposed sanctuary of The Grief House is anything but... With beautifully drawn characters, a perfectly realised atmosphere and a plot that won't let go, this is a terrific read."
