Sunyi Dean recommends

Lightfall (2025)
(Everlands Trilogy, book 1)
Ed Crocker
"Lightfall is a darkly delightful subversion of the vampire tale, in which the supernatural takes centre stage rather than hiding in the shadows. Read this if you crave tons of whip-smart snarky banter set against a brooding, blood-drenched world."

The Last Hour Between Worlds (2024)
(Echo Archives, book 1)
Melissa Caruso
"This twisty, locked-room mystery spans alternate dimensions, braiding romance and adventure into brilliant, time-looping fun. Perfect for fans of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle!"

The Fate of Silent Gods (2024)
(Age of Ire, book 2)
Scott Drakeford
"Iconic epic fantasy with a fresh, modern voice."

The Great When (2024)
(Long London, book 1)
Alan Moore
"A profound, gorgeous novel of secret magics and lost souls."

The Black Hunger (2024)
Nicholas Pullen
"The Black Hunger is a bleak, gothic masterpiece. A devastating exploration of humanity's capacity for evil."

A Reluctant Spy (2024)
David Goodman
"Smart, riveting, and eerily prescient."

The Girl With No Reflection (2024)
Keshe Chow
"A unique, gorgeous novel that blends gothic horror with Chinese myths."

The West Passage (2024)
Jared Pechaček
"A weird and wonderful tale, rich with imagination and utterly unique; Pechacek has crafted a literary gem of a novel."

The Spice Gate (2024)
Prashanth Srivatsa
"Srivatsa has created such an immersive and intricately-layered world, and an equally intricately-layered character: Amir is very much the quiet hero who grows into his own strengths over the course of his story - and what a story! I think a lot of epic fantasy fans - particularly fans of RR Virdi--will really enjoy this one."

Calypso (2024)
Oliver K Langmead
"Calypso is an evocative and visionary novella that reshapes the cold, scientific story of human colonisation into a lyrical song, reminiscent of ancient epic poems."

The Book of Doors (2024)
Gareth Brown
"A brilliant page-turner - a clever and beautiful novel about the power of books, and a tribute to those who champion them."

Voyage of the Damned (2024)
Frances White
"I burned through this in about two days. Absolutely bloody brilliant! Voyage of the Damned is clever and comedic, while also heartfelt and harrowing. I hope readers will come to enjoy Dee's escapades as much as I did."

Generation Ship (2023)
Michael Mammay
"Generation Ship is a ferocious story of human desperation, boiling with tension and betrayal."

Night's Edge (2023)
(Night's Edge , book 1)
Liz Kerin
"Kerin's complex and nuanced novel is immersive, bleak, and twisted. An emotional gauntlet which I really enjoyed."

The Surviving Sky (2023)
(Rages Trilogy, book 1)
Kritika H Rao
"The Surviving Sky is a high-octane science fantasy with heady, cerebral ideas and a lushly imagined world, whose story centers on a 30s-ish married couple - very unusual for fantasy! There is nothing else out there which is quite like it!"

Ascension (2023)
Nicholas Binge
"Binge has written a profound and elegiac story that examines science, faith and the concept of humanity itself - what it means to live and die, to yearn and strive, and all the spaces in between. I will be thinking about this one for a long time!"

World Running Down (2023)
(World Running Down)
Al Hess
"A piercing mix of relevant social commentary braided into a riveting scifi adventure."
