The Old Haunts (2023)
(Fairlight Moderns)
Allan Radcliffe
"This poignant Bildungsroman is at once a tender tale of queer awakening in the Edinburgh of the 80s and 90s and a heartbreaking love letter."

The Maiden (2023)
Kate Foster
"A pleasingly female-led re-imagining of true historical events,The Maiden brings 17th century Edinburgh vividly to life in all its colour and stink."
thumb
Hare House (2022)
Sally Hinchcliffe
"A beautiful, slow burn of a novel, eerie and shimmering in equal measure. The bewitching prose brilliantly evokes the bleak glories of a remote Scottish landscape, while the subtle shifts of plot and perspective lure the reader towards an unsettling denouement where nothing is quite what it seems. A dark uncanny read and all the more satisfying for that."
