Ned Beauman recommends
Underjungle (2023)
James Sturz
"Not many of us would have the audacity to write a novel where the only human character is a corpse decomposing on the ocean floor, but in Underjungle James Sturz has met this challenge in dazzling fashion. To get a more intimate view of the world under the waves you'd probably have to become fish food yourself, so instead I recommend this profound and unclassifiable novel, a mind-expanding Aeneid of the seas."
Daughters of the Wild (2020)
Natalka Burian
"With utter believability Daughters of the Wild brings to life a whole kingdom of grimy, shamanist Virginia Gothic that exists just a short hitchhike away from our contemporary world. Keep your wits about you as you step across the border - but don't delay too long, because revolution is already stirring in Natalka Burian's spellbinding debut."
