Alice Slater recommends
Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng (2025)
Kylie Lee Baker
"I smashed through Bat Eater - shocking, visceral and haunted by more than ghosts: trauma, rage, grief, racism, crime scene clean-ups and COVID paranoia. Bat Eater will swoop in like a bat out of hell, swallow you whole and leave no crumbs."
Private Rites (2024)
Julia Armfield
"A sharply observed exploration of grief, family and the end of the world as we know it."
The House of Mirrors (2024)
Erin Kelly
"Full of duplicity, doppelgangers and dead girls' dresses, The House of Mirrors delivers a white-knuckle ride as a murky past creeps up on the present. I don't think I took a breath until I found myself screaming my way through the crescendo."
