About the book
Jon Reznick doesn’t do hesitation, especially when someone he loves ends up dead. When his old Special Forces teammate Angel Ramos is found tortured and dumped in a Los Angeles alley, Reznick heads west with one mission: find the men who did it and make them pay. But Angel’s daughter has vanished into Hollywood’s underworld, and every clue drags Reznick deeper into a city rotting beneath its neon shine. From backroom deals to cartel crosshairs, Reznick’s enemies multiply fast, and this time, vengeance might not be enough to keep him alive.

About the book
Silence tore them apart. Can the truth bring them back together?
"Marvellous” —Lesley Pearse
"A hauntingly beautiful novel" —Imogen Clark
"Gripping, heart rending and extremely satisfying” —Katie Fforde
In 1960s Glasgow, anti-nuclear activists Judith and Jimmy fall in love. But their future hopes are dashed when their protestors’ squat is raided and many, including Jimmy, are sent to prison. Pregnant and with no word from Jimmy, Judith is forced to enter an unmarried mothers’ home, give up their baby and learn to live with her grief.
More than half a century later, Judith’s Mending Shop restores broken treasures, just as Judith herself has been bound back together by her late, much-missed partner, Catherine. But her tranquillity is shattered when Jimmy—so different and yet somehow the same—reappears, yearning to unpick the painful past.
Realising they each know only half of the other’s story, Jimmy and Judith finally break the silence that tore apart what might have been their family. Amid heartbreak and hope, how much can now be mended?

From New York Times bestselling author Mia Sheridan comes a dark, addictive thriller readers call “haunting and impossible to put down.” 4.3 stars on Amazon with more than 20,000 Goodreads ratings.

Invisible brain spiders.
This Book Is Full of Spiders
Horror
Our take
Invisible brain spiders. A reluctant hero with a chainsaw. And the end of the world, again. In Jason Pargin’s darkly funny sequel to John Dies at the End, reality unravels one bad decision at a time. It’s horror, humor, and absurdity at its finest. 4.6 stars on Amazon and a Goodreads Choice Award nominee.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Jason Pargin’s cult-hit duo, Dave and John, are back, and the world’s about to end again, probably. This time, the apocalypse starts small: with invisible spiders burrowing into people’s brains and turning them into something... not quite human. Dave swears he’s not responsible (this time), but when skepticism itself becomes a symptom, there’s no way to tell who’s infected and who’s just an idiot.
Armed with sarcasm, bad decisions, and the occasional chainsaw, the pair stumbles through small-town chaos that makes zombie flicks look like nature documentaries. It’s horrifying. It’s hilarious. It’s profoundly weird.
A New York Times bestseller and Goodreads Choice Award nominee, This Book Is Full of Spiders boasts a 4.6-star Amazon rating and nearly 34,000 Goodreads reviews.

A dysfunctional family vacation in a remote Italian villa turns nightmarish in Diavola, Jennifer Marie Thorne’s sly, Gothic horror.
Diavola
Horror · Thriller · Occult Horror · Supernatural Horror · Suspense
Our take
A dysfunctional family vacation in a remote Italian villa turns nightmarish in Diavola, Jennifer Marie Thorne’s sly, Gothic horror. Between ghostly warnings and family feuds, Anna’s survival rules might not be enough this time. A USA Today bestseller and Esquire Best Horror Book of 2024 pick, this haunting satire cuts deep—and laughs while it does.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Anna has two rules for every family vacation: tread lightly and survive. But this year’s getaway—a lavish villa in the remote Italian village of Monteperso—might make that impossible. Between her passive twin, overbearing sister, judgmental mother, and self-satisfied father, Anna’s barely holding it together. Then come the strange sounds at night, the warnings from the locals, and whispers of the villa’s bloody history.
What begins as another painful family trip twists into something far darker, where ghosts and grudges blur together and no one escapes unscathed.
Jennifer Marie Thorne’s Diavola is a wickedly funny, beautifully unhinged haunted-house tale about family, isolation, and the monsters we inherit. A USA Today bestseller and Esquire pick for Best Horror Books of 2024, it’s as unsettling as it is sharp.

In 1918, Annie befriends the wrong girl—and when Elsie dies, her ghost returns for revenge.
One for Sorrow
Horror · Teen + Young Adult · Supernatural Horror
Our take
In 1918, Annie befriends the wrong girl—and when Elsie dies, her ghost returns for revenge. Set during the influenza epidemic, Mary Downing Hahn’s One for Sorrow delivers spine-tingling chills and a haunting lesson on cruelty and guilt. With over 4.6 stars on Amazon, this eerie classic cements Hahn as the queen of ghost stories for young readers.

About the book
When Annie starts at her new school in 1918, she’s eager to make friends. But Elsie, a strange, clingy girl with a cruel streak, won’t take no for an answer. Desperate to fit in, Annie joins the other girls in mocking Elsie—until the influenza epidemic sweeps through town and claims her life.
Now Elsie’s ghost is back, and she’s not done with Annie. What begins as whispers and shadows becomes a relentless haunting fueled by anger, loneliness, and betrayal. Annie wanted friendship. What she gets is payback from beyond the grave.
Set against the chilling backdrop of the 1918 flu, Mary Downing Hahn’s One for Sorrow is a haunting tale of guilt, ghosts, and the price of cruelty. A modern classic of middle-grade horror.

A simple nighttime whistle can become an invitation, a warning, or the first step toward something that follows.
Never Whistle at Night
Horror · Indigenous Fiction · Occult Horror · Supernatural Horror
Our take
A simple nighttime whistle can become an invitation, a warning, or the first step toward something that follows. Never Whistle at Night gathers Indigenous dark fiction rooted in ghosts, curses, monsters, family legacies, and revenge, offering a horror anthology shaped by cultural memory, survival, and the dangerous stories people pass down for a reason.

About the book
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • SHIRLEY JACKSON AWARD NOMINEE FOR BEST EDITED ANTHOLOGY • BRAM STOKER AWARD NOMINEE FOR SUPERIOR ACHIEVEMENT IN AN ANTHOLOGY • LOCUS AWARD FINALIST
A bold, clever, and sublimely sinister collection that dares to ask the question: “Are you ready to be un-settled?”
“Never failed to surprise, delight, and shock.” —Nick Cutter, author of The Troop and Little Heaven
Featuring stories by:
Norris Black • Amber Blaeser-Wardzala • Phoenix Boudreau • Cherie Dimaline • Carson Faust • Kelli Jo Ford • Kate Hart • Shane Hawk • Brandon Hobson • Darcie Little Badger • Conley Lyons • Nick Medina • Tiffany Morris • Tommy Orange • Mona Susan Power • Marcie R.

Many Indigenous people believe that one should never whistle at night. This belief takes many forms: for instance, Native Hawaiians believe it summons the Hukai’po, the spirits of ancient warriors, and Native Mexicans say it calls Lechuza, a witch that can transform into an owl. But what all these legends hold in common is the certainty that whistling at night can cause evil spirits to appear—and even follow you home.
These wholly original and shiver-inducing tales introduce readers to ghosts, curses, hauntings, monstrous creatures, complex family legacies, desperate deeds, and chilling acts of revenge. Introduced and contextualized by bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones, these stories are a celebration of Indigenous peoples’ survival and imagination, and a glorious reveling in all the things an ill-advised whistle might summon.

From Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box, comes a story of innocence under siege and horror that hits where it hurts. A Bram Stoker Award nominee and Locus Award finalist, Incidents Around the House will leave you breathless.

What begins as childish fascination turns cruel, then impossible to contain.
The Apparition Phase
Horror · Occult Horror
Our take
What begins as childish fascination turns cruel, then impossible to contain. In The Apparition Phase, twins Tim and Abi stage a fake haunting that unleashes consequences far darker than they imagined. The novel blends suburban unease, adolescent obsession, and ghost story dread into a haunting British horror that lingers in grief, guilt, and the terror of things that should have stayed buried.
