Alice Slater recommends
Lush (2025)
Rochelle Dowden-Lord
"Rochelle Dowden-Lord writes like an angel with whisky on her breath . . . Beautiful."
Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng (2025)
Kylie Lee Baker
"I smashed through Bat Eater - shocking, visceral and haunted by more than ghosts: trauma, rage, grief, racism, crime scene clean-ups and COVID paranoia. Bat Eater will swoop in like a bat out of hell, swallow you whole and leave no crumbs."
Private Rites (2024)
Julia Armfield
"A sharply observed exploration of grief, family and the end of the world as we know it."
