THE BALLAD OF PERILOUS GRAVES

Some stories are just too big for a single book to contain. When an author has effectively invented a whole world (or substantially reworked an existing one), you can hardly blame them for wanting to share as much of it as they can.

THIS VICIOUS GRACE

Generally speaking, calling someone a window isn’t particularly complimentary. But for Alessa, becoming her island’s “Finestra” is both a blessing and a curse.

THE KNAVE OF SECRETS

SILK FIRE

This novel is more interesting for its setting, Jadzia, a city the size of a planet, than its story. Split into sectors, each dedicated to a different now-dead god, with its own language and prioritising of a different skill, it’s a fascinating place.

TOGETHER WE BURN

Zarela used to have it all. The daughter of a famed flamenco dancer and a renowned dragonador (dragon fighter) and heir to the La Giralda dragon fighting arena, performance and tradition have always been her life.

THE SPLENDID CITY

As the cost of living crisis accelerates in the real world, The Splendid City is very timely: a story set in Liberty, a country formed after Texas secedes from the USA, where water is rationed and the shortages always blamed on someone else, while the President distracts the population with random giveaways and cheap nougats.

IN THE HEART OF HIDDEN THINGS

The strange is mundane in this fairy tale – and that’s not a negative point.

TWILIGHT'S LAST SCREAMING

In England’s Screaming, Sean Hogan transformed his collection of cult British DVDs into a literary universe, penning short story pseudo-sequels to horror films both well-known (The Wicker Man) and obscure (The Appointment), placing them within a larger narrative, with crossovers aplenty.

THIS TIME TOMORROW

Life is full of what-ifs and if-onlys, and rarely more so than at moments of grief and change. Birthdays, deaths, promotions – all seem destined to make us wonder what might have been.
