Toby Litt recommends
thumb
Maxwell's Demon (2021)
Steven Hall
"I enjoyed Maxwell's Demon a great deal. Anyone who enjoyed The Raw Shark Texts will be delighted by it."
thumb
Borne (2017)
(Borne, book 1)
Jeff VanderMeer
"From being a very successful SF writer, VanderMeer will become mainstream – and Borne is full of signs that he is already thinking ahead of that easy transition, and perhaps subverting it."
thumb
The Good Son (2015)
Paul McVeigh
"A vivid, Poignant and thrilling tale of troubled boyfriend, The Good Son is a lot better than good-it's outstanding."
