Sue Rainsford recommends

The Drowning Kind (2021)
Jennifer McMahon
"Lush, dark and relentlessly eerie—a fast-paced tug of war between suspicion and the supernatural."
thumb
Sisters (2020)
Daisy Johnson
"Johnson’s Sisters is haunted in the fullest sense; its very sentences governed by a sinister, spectral force. This is a novel we don’t so much read as wade through with our hands outstretched and our eyes clamped shut, holding our breath 'til morning."
thumb
This Happy (2020)
Niamh Campbell
"Campbell writes romantic ambivalence and sexual risk with a sharpness that begs belief. Reading this razorblade of a debut I often laughed out loud-more often still shivered with recognition. A hot, ripe portrait of the recent shifts in Ireland and what it means to be a woman inside it."
