Katie Williams recommends

The Compound (2025)
Aisling Rawle
"This smart, stirring eyeball-peeler of a debut slices into our modern morass of capitalism and media with the appeal of the most transfixing reality series. You will have your face pressed to the windows of The Compound."

Thirteen Ways to Kill Lulabelle Rock (2024)
Maud Woolf
"A rollicking action-thriller, a clever satire on fame, and a touching meditation on identity - THIRTEEN WAYS TO KILL LULABELLE ROCK lives more lives than its cloned protagonist, each and every one of them a deep delight."

Ascension (2023)
Nicholas Binge
"A scintillating speculative mystery, a harrowing survival adventure, and a stirring love story - Nicholas Binge's Ascension is a mountain of a novel. I was whipping through the pages until I reached its peak."
