Finished copies of #TheEndOfEverything, M. John Harrison’s slyly satirical dystopia, have landed and are looking spooky and gorgeous 🐚

Seductive and wholly disturbing, this exquisitely crafted dystopia from a master of modern fiction imagines life after an unnamed crisis has changed everything. Government barely functions, the seas are full of new creatures, Europe has been mislaid. It feels like the end.

🪼 ‘One of the finest working writers we have’ Julia Armfield
🪼 ‘A visionary and brilliant investigation of anxious times’ China Miéville
🪼 ‘The closest thing we have to a present-day Wyndham or Ballard’ New Statesman

Out 18th June, comment down below for a chance to get your hands on an early copy for review 👇

It’s #WorldOtterDay, which means the perfect time to share the cover for Karen Joy Fowler’s new book, #OtterMusic.

‘If you couldn't save the world, she'd written, you should still save whatever you could, words she still lived by.’

When Lainey Miller's dad began believing in lizard people who sought world domination, her mom decided that Lainey needed to be a person who believed in verifiable data. So began a lifelong pursuit and love of science, of the beauty of the natural world and its wildlife.

Through her work, Lainey finds stillness in a world humming with change, a world that she believes - despite the constant news cycle of destruction and cruelty - has an infinite capacity for kindness.

From the author of the million-copy bestselling, Booker-Prize shortlisted #WeAreAllCompletelyBesideOurselves, Karen Joy Fowler's new novel is a love letter to community, to learning, and to life itself. It points towards the glimmer of hope on the horizon, urging us to stay for the view.

We can’t wait for you to discover it next Spring – pre-order now.

M. John Harrison is going on tour for his latest genre-bending novel The End of Everything 🐚

Come along to hear a master of fiction talk about this electric dystopia – a collision between the Gothic, the road movie and the seaside novel.

It’s been years since the crisis changed everything, but its exact nature remains obscure. Government barely functions, the seas are full of new creatures, Europe has been mislaid. It feels like the end…

#TheEndOfEverything is out 18th June and available to pre-order now 📚

A mysterious invitation to drink the oldest bottle of wine in the world - who could resist? ☀️

#Lush by Rochelle Dowden-Lord is out now in paperback!

A wine influencer, a rising star sommelier, a caustic food critic and an ingenuous American millionaire gather at a sprawling French vineyard estate at the request of a renowned Grand Sommelier.

Each arrives at a crucial point in their lives, and each has something to prove. As glasses are emptied, rivalries fermented and secrets spilled, the guests and their host must confront hard truths that could change their lives forever. Heady and subtly powerful, Lush is a bittersweet reckoning with class, beauty, hedonism and desire.

🍷 ‘A sumptuous treat’ Bolu Babalola

🍷 ‘Breathtaking ... dare I say, intoxicating’ Okechukwu Nzelu
