Ramsey Campbell recommends
Marginal (2024)
Tom Carlisle
"Tom Carlisle combines his gothic elements - the cursed landowning family, the uncanny pact, the lurking primal presence, the dark side of faery, the hero's reluctant return to his roots - into a potent magical brew often evocative of Machen but grippingly original."
Cold Snap (2024)
Lindy Ryan
"A powerfully affecting study of bereavement, illuminated by a sense of the uncanny and mysterious that builds to vivid scenes of breathless nightmare terror."
Horror Movie (2024)
Paul Tremblay
"Nothing is predictable about Paul Tremblay except his unpredictability and inventiveness. Horror Movie is an inspiringly original take on the lost horror film, disturbing and challenging in ways few authors in our field can manage. The more he writes, the more it looks as if he's creating his own genre, the Tremblay. May it continue to surprise us."
