Iain Sinclair recommends

The Unrecovered (2025)
Richard Strachan
"A formidable and deftly crafted nightmare, from a time of universal war, stretching backwards and forwards over the generations and across the map. The latest haunting in a classic Scottish tradition derived from Stevenson and Hogg."

The Great When (2024)
(Long London, book 1)
Alan Moore
"Like Dickens, Alan Moore has us waiting on the dock, impatient for the next installment of his breathless, time-travelling classic. A preternaturally convincing hallucination from London's fetid past transports us, in some mysterious way, over the abyss of our impoverished post-digital present. Savage, humane, comic, terrifying: and that's just the first page. Now read on."

I'm Jack (2015)
Mark Blacklock
"Spare. Swift. Smart. And dangerous."
