Johnny Compton recommends
thumb
William (2024)
Mason Coile
"Mason Coile's William is twisted, timely, scarily intelligent, and menacing even before it reveals its greatest, darkest secrets."
thumb
The Thirteenth Child (2024)
Erin A Craig
"A stellar, eerily enchanting journey that feels like it was written with rosewater on black pages, The Thirteenth Child features dark, adoring gods, hungry spirits, palace intrigue, and much more."
thumb
Bitter is the Heart (2024)
Mina Hardy
"An absorbing, dread-filled tale of monstrous motherhood worthy of Michael McDowell."
