Lisa Tuttle recommends

Witch Bottle (2020)
Tom Fletcher
"Fletcher has a most distinctive voice, and convinces me that there may be some truth at last in those rumours about a renaissance in British supernatural fiction."

The Golden Key (2020)
Marian Womack
"A fascinating, unsettling tale that shifts, mutates and changes meaning much like the eerie ruined house in the fens at the centre of this weird and brilliant debut novel."
