Review of Logging Off: The Human Cost of Our Digital World by Adele Zeynap Walton
Out of the depths of personal tragedy comes a debut non-fiction that will change the way you think about your phone. This is a book I would urge everyone to read and one I think we’re sure to look back on in years to come as, hopefully, one of the starting points for a tech revolution.

Review of Awakened by Laura Elliot
This debut is a literary horror/sci-fi that will really get under your skin. Elliot does what all great writers of the genre do, she uses real life to write fiction that confronts humanity’s horrors.

Review of The Ladie Upstairs by Jessie Elland
From the mind of the iconic Emmerdale actress, comes one of the most original and captivating debuts I’ve read all year. Full of deliciously gross femgore and underpinnings of feminist folklore, The Ladie Upstairs is perfect for fans of weird literary fiction with plenty to sink your teeth into.
