Angela Slatter recommends
Horror Movie (2024)
Paul Tremblay
"Sometimes things are lost for a reason, but Tremblay reminds us of our innate, irresistible urge to look even when we're likely to be turned into a pillar of salt. A meditation on horror, personal demons and how easily they erupt into everyday life, Horror Movie is a Pandora's box of a book."
The Haunting of Velkwood (2024)
Gwendolyn Kiste
"Heartbreaking and hopeful. A perfect modern ghost story."
After the Forest (2023)
(After The Forest, book 1)
Kell Woods
"With one foot in history, the other in folklore, After the Forest is a love song to fairy tales. Replete with secrets, magic, witches and wolves, bears and whispering books, Greta's world is one where enchantment can become a curse on the turn of a tongue. At once sweet as gingerbread and bitterly dark as heart's blood, After the Forest is reminiscent of Juliet Marillier at her finest."
