B.H. Fairchild meets Kelly Link in every house needs a ghost by Timothy Fox. Made from the viscera of a working class upbringing in the American Deep South, every house needs a ghost is both haunting and haunted. It includes the voices and stories of faith healers, queer teenagers, orphaned children, meth heads, single mothers and dead grandparents. Unsettling, gothic, and clear-eyed, it makes for a powerful and exciting debut.

Offworld by Kirsten Luckins navigates the journey of two runaways as they planet-hop through a disintegrating empire of colonized worlds. Inspired by processes of mistranslation and ekphrasis, Kirsten Luckins takes us through an experimental sci-fi high-flyer where octopi seek out strip clubs and anything can be bought at a spaceport. Beautiful, shocking, funny and prescient these poems defy easy explanation, and present us with glimses of ruined and defiant futures.

Fernseed: A Collection of Tales by Sarah Royston is a novella length collection of short stories. It is a speculative dive into history and the English landscape, from ancient standing stones to crackling pylons, deep holy wells and Victorian industrial run-off. Deeply lyrical, these stories are full of non-human voices, queer characters and the relationships between them. These tale are by turns gentle and sinister, filled with hunger: for escape, for each other, for enchantment.
