About the book
Jinx Kingsley wakes up in a private hospital with no memory of the car crash that nearly killed her. Or why her wedding was canceled. Or that her ex-fiancé and his new girlfriend were just found murdered—brutally, and eerily similar to the way her first husband died.
The media is circling. The police have questions. And Jinx has only scattered memories and a rising sense of dread.
As she retraces her past through photographs, flashbacks, and unsettling revelations, Jinx begins to question everything—including herself.
The Dark Room is a masterful psychological thriller from Minette Walters, packed with buried secrets, shifting identities, and a protagonist who may be unraveling… or remembering the truth.
Sometimes, what you’ve forgotten is exactly what someone wants to stay buried.

Katabasis
Fantasy · Literary Fiction · Historical Fantasy · Magical Realism
Our take
Academic ambition gets dragged straight to Hell in Katabasis, where two rival graduate students descend into the underworld to save the soul of the professor who may still determine their futures. Alice and Peter are fueled by resentment, obsession, and the kind of scholarly burnout that apparently now comes with pentagrams and demonic risk. Dark academia with teeth, this one blends rivalry, grief, magic, and a very literal descent into chaos.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Dante’s Inferno meets Susanna Clarke’s Piranesi in this all-new dark academia fantasy from R. F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel and Yellowface, in which two graduate students must put aside their rivalry and journey to Hell to save their professor’s soul—perhaps at the cost of their own.
Katabasis, noun, Ancient Greek:
The story of a hero’s descent to the underworld
Alice Law has only ever had one goal: to become one of the brightest minds in the field of Magick. She has sacrificed everything to make that a reality: her pride, her health, her love life, and most definitely her sanity. All to work with Professor Jacob Grimes at Cambridge, the greatest magician in the world.
That is, until he dies in a magical accident that could possibly be her fault.
Grimes is now in Hell, and she’s going in after him. Because his recommendation could hold her very future in his now incorporeal hands and even death is not going to stop the pursuit of her dreams….
Nor will the fact that her rival, Peter Murdoch, has come to the very same conclusion.
With nothing but the tales of Orpheus and Dante to guide them, enough chalk to draw the Pentagrams necessary for their spells, and the burning desire to make all the academic trauma mean anything, they set off across Hell to save a man they don’t even like.
But Hell is not like the storybooks say, Magick isn’t always the answer, and there’s something in Alice and Peter’s past that could forge them into the perfect allies…or lead to their doom.

About the book

The Raw Shark Texts is a surreal literary thriller where metaphysics meets monster hunting. It’s Memento meets House of Leaves, and nothing is what it seems.

About the book
Somethings should stay buried.
When celebrated author Blake Price takes his young son metal-detecting in the English countryside, he expects to find nothing more than rusted nails and broken coins. What they uncover instead is an ornate antique picture frame buried deep beneath the soil—beautiful, mysterious, and... somehow sinister.
It doesn’t take long for Blake to realise the truth about the picture frame.
Any photograph placed inside becomes a death sentence.
At first, the power is distant. Abstract. A terrible curiosity he believes he can control. But when a single mistake places a family photograph inside the frame, the curse turns inward. Now the people Blake loves most are marked for death—one by one.
As unseen forces close in and the body count rises, Blake must confront the frame’s ancient origins, its hunger for memory and blood, and the dark secrets buried in his own past. Because destroying the frame may not be enough.
And some memories refuse to stay buried.
A chilling supernatural horror about guilt, fate, and the terrifying cost of loving too deeply, The Picture Frame proves that the most dangerous curses are the ones we bring home.
