Catriona Ward recommends

The Betrayal of Thomas True (2024)
A J West
"Heartbreaking, beautiful, lyrical...I was captivated."

The Mars House (2024)
Natasha Pulley
"Few writers combine such warmth and heart with such consummate skill at Natasha Pulley. She sends the reader our into the skies, and deep into themselves, places we never knew we could travel. Reading her is both a joyful and profound experience-and The Mars House is her most daring, ambitious and exciting book yet."

The House of Last Resort (2024)
Christopher Golden
"Dark, eerie, full of dread, each page exudes menace-I couldn't put it down. Part of me remains in The House of Last Resort long after I closed the book."
