Nonesuch
Francis Spufford
It's the summer of 1939. London is on the brink of catastrophic war. Iris Hawkins, an ambitious young woman in the stuffy world of City finance, has a chance encounter with Geoff, a technical whizz at the BBC's nascent television unit.
What was supposed to be one night of abandon draws her instead into an adventure of otherworldly pursuit - into a reality where time bends, spirits can be summoned, and history hangs by a thread.
A spell-binding fantasy novel set in the Blitz, from the author of Golden Hill.

TWO COPS. ONE KILLER. HUNDREDS OF GODS.
21st Century London.
The Norman conquest never happened.
The ancient tribes of Britain remain undefeated.
But murders still have to be solved.
Set in a world that's far from our own and yet captivatingly familiar: religious conflict, nationalism, prejudice... and the delicate internal politics of the office coffee round. Gripping and darkly funny, Pagans keeps you guessing until the very end.

Nine Goblins
T. Kingfisher
From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes Nine Goblins, a cosy novella of low fantasy and high mischief.
No one knows exactly how the Goblin War began, but folks will tell you that goblins are stinking, slinking, filthy, sheep-stealing, henhouse-raiding, obnoxious, rude, and violent.
But goblins don't go around killing people for fun, no matter what the propaganda posters say. And when a confrontation with an evil wizard lands a troop of nine goblins deep behind enemy lines, goblin sergeant Nessilka must figure out how to keep her hapless band together and get them home in one piece, despite a path filled with elves, trolls, monsters, and that most terrifying of creatures...a human being.

Starving Saints
Caitlin Starling
"A whirlwind of a book. If you enjoy queer horror with a side (or a whole plate) of cannibalism in a medieval setting - this book is perfect.
We follow three perspectives; a slightly mad nun-turned-sorceress, a lady knight, and a serving girl with a vengeance. It looks at faith and the question, what would you do if everything was nearly lost and then the gods you had been praying to appear on your doorstep? It is my perfect blend of queer horror and an absolutely insane plot." ~ Fleur, Edinburgh

Wax Child
Olga Ravn
Based on an infamous seventeenth century Danish witch trial, The Wax Child is the extraordinary new novel from Olga Ravn, one of the most acclaimed and original writers at work today: a mesmerising, frightening vision of a time when witches and magic were as real to the human mind as soil and seawater.
"Brilliantly unsettling." ~ Rachel, Edinburgh

The Lamb
Lucy Rose
"A beautifully-written, darkly compelling, folk horror novel, The Lamb was easily one of my favourite books this year.
Mama and Margot live in isolation, away from the supposedly threatening, inhumane world that Margot is taught to fear. Mama and her view of the world is all Margot knows, until enchanting Eden shows up at their door and everything begins to unravel…
This coming-of-age tale includes an exploration of motherhood, a queer love triangle, the push and pull of familial loyalty, searing descriptions of cannibalism and so much more, whilst Rose’s prose is consistently fluid and her characters richly drawn." ~ Maddie, Edinburgh
