Alex Preston recommends
thumb
The Echoes (2024)
Evie Wyld
"A strange and wondrous novel, my book of the year by a mile. Wyld is a literary magician, doing more in the space of a few pages than many authors manage over the course of their careers."
thumb
Pet (2023)
Catherine Chidgey
"A dark and compelling story of guilt and betrayal. Add to it a near-perfect plot twist and you have a novel that lives long in the mind."

Cuddy (2023)
Benjamin Myers
"A writer of extraordinary and incandescent talent."
