Nature and Necessity
Tariq Goddard
“There’s a ferocious energy here that will keep you reading through to the bitter end. Goddard has reinvigorated the country house novel…” – Guardian
“Merges elements of science fiction, political satire, thriller and ghost story; it is alternately – sometimes simultaneously – unsettling, acerbic, pacy, and eerie. Highly recommended.” — Simon Reynolds
New People of the Flat Earth

After ten years in a Zen monastery, Proteus knows it’s time to leave, and sets off in pursuit of answers.
Playful but unapologetically challenging, New People of the Flat Earth is a breathtakingly original novel that defies categorisation or summary.

Zombie University: Thinking Under Control
Sinéad Murphy
“The wholesale and disastrous marketisation of higher education [is] powerfully described by Sinéad Murphy in her book Zombie University, a right horror show.” – openDemocracy
Ode to Broken Things
Dipika Mukherjee
“It sounds like fantasy, looks like science fiction and reads like a political thriller with a literary bent.” – The Telegraph
