Johanna van Veen recommends
What Feeds Below (2026)
Tatiana Schlote-Bonne
"Fast-paced, suspenseful, and plenty gory, What Feeds Below is a richly imagined fantasy-horror novel that you'll want to devour in one sitting rather than feed on for days, but be careful: It'll linger long after you've gobbled up the final page."
The Scarlet Ball (2026)
Nghi Vo
"So utterly original, so spellbinding, so effortlessly plotted and so gorgeously written, it's hard to believe a mere mortal could write it, and yet she did, and I stand in awe of it and her."
Monstera (2026)
Delilah S Dawson
"Compelling, sexy and overall just heaps of fun, Monstera is the perfect book for those who've always felt that cottagecore would be more enjoyable if it included gore and female rage. After reading this novella, I will certainly never look at seedlings the same way again."
