Tim Major recommends
Three Eight One (2024)
Aliya Whiteley
"There's nothing like a new Aliya Whiteley novel, and no Aliya Whiteley novel is like any other. Three Eight One may be her most enigmatic work to date, a parable of maturation and the milestones of life that is at once mythical and down-to-earth. I adored every moment of it, and I found it overwhelming in its scope, honesty and emotional impact. It's certainly one of the best novels I've read this year."
Blight (2023)
Tom Carlisle
"There are worlds beneath worlds in Tom Carlisle's compelling debut novel, which evokes Robert W. Chambers' The King in Yellow in its sustained Gothic creepiness and its undercurrent of unspeakable cosmic horror."
The Strange (2023)
Nathan Ballingrud
"The Strange is utterly wonderful. Having harnessed the inventive worldbuilding of Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles, it embarks on an odyssey that becomes ever more unsettling and hallucinogenic. It's a wild tale set on a Wild West Mars, and I very much hope there'll be more."
