Alex North recommends
We Live Here Now (2025)
Sarah Pinborough
"I loved We Live Here Now. A modern gothic about a haunted house - and the haunted couple who move in. Clever, beautifully-written (of course), and creepy as [heck]. When you reach the gut punch ending, you can imagine Edgar Allen Poe himself applauding."
Blood Like Mine (2024)
(Blood , book 1)
Stuart Neville
"I absolutely loved Blood Like Mine . . . Thrilling, heartbreaking, and completely compelling. My heart was in my throat the whole time."
No Secrets (2022)
David Jackson
"Completely compulsive, David Jackson wrings every bit of possible tension from his deliciously chilling premise."
