Richard Kadrey recommends

A Mask of Flies (2024)
Matthew Lyons
"A Mask of Flies is a riveting story of shocking violence and the terrible mysteries that families leave behind like scars in your skin. It's desperation, loneliness, and the knock on the door by things that are better off dead."
thumb
Chlorine (2023)
Jade Song
"Ren Yu is a fierce young woman who's dreamed of mermaids ever since she can remember - dreams so vivid that the first touch of water in a swimming pool alters her life forever, sending her down a path that's both beautiful and frightening. Chlorine isn't just a coming of age story. It's the tale of transformation from human to something wilder and more transcendent. It's about love and longing and the willingness to do anything to become who you truly are."
thumb
The Spite House (2023)
Johnny Compton
"In The Spite House, Johnny Compton introduces us to a family with secrets and a house as mean and hungry as any in horror. The book is a work of great imagination and humanity, showing both love and terror in a world as real as the dust in the attic of a terrible old house."
