Johanna van Veen recommends
Wolf Worm (2026)
T Kingfisher
"Gothic, creepy, but also full of Kingfisher's trademark wit, Wolf Worm will burrow deep into your brain and not come out. Another wonderful addition to the horror genre."
We Call Them Witches (2026)
India-Rose Bower
"We Call Them Witches combines many of my favourite things - sapphism, folk horror, family dynamics, a post-apocalyptic setting - and in doing so creates something utterly compelling and terrifying (and I don't scare easily). I loved every page!"
Our Gifted Hearts (2025)
Jennifer Kennedy
"Compulsively readable, romantic, and filled with fun and familiar tropes of the genre, Our Gifted Hearts is a classic gothic novel that nonetheless manages to offer something new due to its witchy touch."
