James Lovegrove recommends

Borne (2017)
(Borne, book 1)
Jeff VanderMeer
"As Borne grows and evolves, so develops a weird family dynamic in a novel that is as much of a fascinating hybrid as its title character, both an enthralling fantasy adventure and a bleak eco-dystopic admonition."

Sherlock Holmes and Count Dracula (2021)
(Classified Dossier, book 1)
Christian Klaver
"Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Bram Stoker were friends and admired each other's work. I'm happy to think that both of them would have greatly enjoyed Christian Klaver's exuberant, reverent mashup of their two best-known characters."
