Lucy A Snyder recommends

The Deading (2024)
Nicholas Belardes
"The Deading is a stellar novel: superb prose and a compelling mix of horror, ecology, and social commentary. Darkly beautiful and chilling, The Deading will linger long after the read ends."

Your Shadow Half Remains (2024)
Sunny Moraine
"A taut tale of fear and desire, loneliness and madness. Its thin fingers creep through your eyes into your brain and don't let go."

The Pale House Devil (2023)
(Discreet Eliminators, book 1)
Richard Kadrey
"The Pale House Devil is taut, entertaining, and satisfying. A top-drawer supernatural noir!"
