Autumn is creeping up on us with its promise of arboreal colour, cosy sweaters, and dark nights perfect for curling up with a book that sets our hearts racing. As ever, your Wyrd & Wonder team are here to help! Spooktastic Reads will be back to dare the darker side of fantasy in the 13 days and nights leading up to Hallowe’en.

September is always a busy month in publishing, and this year is no exception. My apologies to the many titles I’ve ruthlessly ignored – and the many I’ve been ignorantly unaware of – in compiling my list of intriguing releases to make some room for this month…
Welcome back to Bite-size Reads, where it’s my final round-up of the dark and haunting tales of African Monsters, edited by Margrét Helgadóttir and Jo Thomas.
Welcome back to Bite-size Reads, where I’m currently enjoying tales collected by Margrét Helgadóttir and Jo Thomas. It’s time to be haunted and horrified by some more African Monsters…
Welcome back to Bite-size Reads, my 2022 challenge to read (some of) the amazing anthologies on my shelves. It’s been a long while since Sinopticon, and today I’m on the trail of African Monsters – the second volume of the globe-trotting Fox Spirit Book of Monsters.
Sig is a loner even by the standards of the remote island community she lives on the margins of. Haunted by guilt, she has cut herself off from friends and family. But when an older, darker sin is uncovered by an ignorant visitor, Sig must decide whether she is truly ready to turn her back on her world.
It’s the heart of summer and you know what that means? It’s perfect weather to sit in the shade reading some new releases with a cooling drink. And it just so happens there’s some books heading our way imminently that I think you should make some room for…
Before we get too deep into July, it’s time to pause and examine the month’s most exciting releases (in my opinion; your mileage may vary). What intriguing new titles will be clamouring for you to make some room on your shelves?
I usually try to look at upcoming releases ahead of the month actually starting, but I ran out of puff towards the end of Wyrd & Wonder so I’m playing catch up today (what’s that? You thought I’d forgotten? Not a chance, your TBR is never safe around here). As ever, there’s lots coming our way, but these are the titles I’m most interested to make some room for…
I’m delighted to announce a very special Wyrd & Wonder giveaway, combining our forest fantasy theme with a spooktastic vibe in honour of Friday the 13th! We have five ARCs of The Dark Between The Trees by Fiona Barnett to giveaway courtesy of the lovely team at Rebellion Publishing – if you’re brave enough!
Have you reinforced your shelves recently? You may want to consider it – May is stacked with intriguing releases to tempt even the strictest book buyer into adding to their TBR. Me, I’m a pushover so my shelves are bracing for impact! Time to run down the titles you might want to make some room…
It never rains but it pours: if March showered us with excellent releases, the April forecast is for a deluge that includes a few titles I’ve been looking forward to all year (and the tree editions of several books whose e-release I celebrated last month). It’s time to make some (more) room…
I can’t think what’s coming out in March, I thought. Must be a quiet month, I thought. Calm before the storm, I thought. Ahahaha, no, I just hadn’t been paying attention. Reinforce your shelves, friends, because March releases are on their way to tantalise you. Get ready to make some room for more than just one more.
2022 looks to be another year where (unsurprisingly after the much-discussed Book Crisis of Winter 2021) some releases are being delayed or having separate digital and physical releases. The good news? There’s plenty of interesting titles heading our way next month! If there’s always room for one more, these are the ones I’m most tempted by.
June Vogel has no desire to return to Storm Break, but when her brother remarries she agrees to come home for the summer to care for her wayward niece. As strange events multiply and family tensions heighten, is it Storm Break or June herself that will destroy the Vogels?
