M R Carey
"Humane, thoughtful and exciting, Mike Carey reaffirms his place in the ranks of SF with this startlingly good novel"

Hel's Eight (2023)
(Factus Sequence, book 2)
Stark Holborn
"A gritty, transgressive cyberwestern adventure that feels like Sergio Leone crossed with Mad Max. Glorious!"
thumb
Something More Than Night (2021)
Kim Newman
"Kim Newman is slowly making his way into the canon of English literary greats, where he'd be both entirely at home and deeply uncomfortable. He describes perfectly the way fiction has invaded our real lives, and he got there first."
