Joseph O'Neill recommends

The Alternatives (2024)
Caoilinn Hughes
"The Alternatives is fizzy, brainy, and brilliant, always at the service of a drama of great emotional power. Caoilinn Hughes is an extraordinarily gifted writer."

Walk the Darkness Down (2023)
Daniel Magariel
"Daniel Magariel's novel - an extraordinary pair of chamber pieces, one nautical, one terrestrial - is courageous and transfixing."

Filthy Animals (2021)
Brandon Taylor
"Superb work by a writer of extraordinary psychological insight."
