HellSans (2022)
Ever Dundas
"This is visceral, powerful writing that gets right under your skin, that provokes the kind of physical reaction that leaves you reeling. I was enraged, I was inspired - I want to read every word that Ever Dundas writes."

The Pharmacist (2022)
Rachelle Atalla
"An unflinching portrayal of what we might all be capable of, Atalla's stunning debut is essential reading for our times."

The New Wilderness (2020)
Diane Cook
"The New Wilderness strips us of our veneer of civilisation and exposes us for what we are: driven to survive, capable of shocking cruelty and profound, fierce love. This story of what a mother does to save her daughter is unflinching, horrifying, forgiving, deeply moving, and filled with truth that stayed with this mother long after the final page."
