Land 

Set in post-Famine Ireland, Land is a beautifully atmospheric novel about family, grief, memory, and the stories embedded in the landscape around us. As a father and son work to map a country still carrying the scars of tragedy, an unexpected encounter alters the course of their lives. Rich in history, folklore, and emotion, this is a haunting and deeply moving story about survival, belonging, and the ghosts that linger long after the past has passed.

Medea Sang me a Corrido

A fierce, punk-infused reimagining of Medea set against the brutal realities of Northern Mexico. Blending myth, violence, dark humour, and social commentary, Dahlia de la Cerda introduces a gothic anti-heroine who moves through a world shaped by cartels, corruption, femicide, and survival. Bold, visceral, and electric with rage, this is a powerful exploration of womanhood, justice, and resistance from one of the most exciting contemporary voices in translated fiction.

The Children 

A gripping and emotionally layered novel about family mythology, artistic legacy, and the stories we tell to survive. Set between 1990s Vermont and present-day New York, The Children follows Guinevere Sharpe as the carefully curated version of her idyllic childhood begins to unravel. Atmospheric, unsettling, and full of simmering tension, this is a compelling exploration of memory, fame, and sibling relationships.

Lit 

A sharp, unsettling literary suspense novel about obsession, manipulation, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. As financial pressures mount and cracks begin to appear in her relationship, architect Gin finds herself haunted by the possible return of a man long presumed dead. Atmospheric and psychologically astute, this impressive debut explores gaslighting, control, and the fine line between love, loyalty, and self-deception.

The Make-Believe

From the actor best known for Skins and Game of Thrones comes a deeply intimate and shockingly honest memoir about fame, mental illness, and falling under the spell of a cult-like organisation. After searching for relief from the pressures of acting, Hannah Murray becomes entangled in a world of magical thinking and manipulation that ultimately shatters her reality.

The Valley

The culmination of over two years of field research and hundreds of hours of interviews, The Valley follows three Hutt Valley men through courtrooms, prison, hospitals, rehab, boarding houses, and welfare offices. Told largely through verbatim dialogue, this intimate account brings the realities of New Zealand’s criminal justice system to life through the voices of those experiencing it first-hand.
