Benjamin Myers recommends

Seascraper (2025)
Benjamin Wood
"Seascraper is powerful, poignant and poetic. I can't recommend it enough."

The Lamb (2025)
Lucy Rose
"Stunning, shocking and surprising at each turn - everything one would want from a novel, and so much more. Lucy Rose's fearful and fantastic imagination is a powerful weapon."

Sell Us the Rope (2022)
Stephen May
"A fascinating and immersive imagining of real events that both challenges and illuminates history."
