Del Sandeen recommends
Witch Queen Rising (2026)
Savannah Stephens
"Witch Queen Rising is a fantastical novel, perfect for readers who want to immerse themselves in the world of witches and their paranormal friends-and enemies. This debut, equal parts enthralling and frightening, sets you squarely in the magical city of New Orleans. Phine is the outcast protagonist whose compelling story is complicated by all manner of threats, betrayals, and lost love. I cannot wait for the second book of this duology and what's sure to be a spellbinding conclusion!"
Futility (2025)
Nuzo Onoh
"A dark and twisted tale permeated with African spirits and horror. Nuzo Onoh brings the vivid beauty of Nigerian folklore and culture to life, alongside chilling vengeance and justice rendered. This is one book I'll be thinking about for a very long time."
House of Monstrous Women (2025)
Daphne Fama
"A delicious blend of historical and horror, House of Monstrous Women uses the backdrop of mid-1980s Philippines to mirror the violence and terror in the story. From the deadly game played between friends to the mazelike house at the heart of the novel, a constant sense of unease awaits around every corner. Daphne Fama's debut will fully immerse you in an unsettling story that weaves its hooks into you and won't let go."
