⚓️👻THE HAUNTING OF AVIS LOVELOCK by MK Hardy - in this historical supernatural mystery, set on the eve of the Spanish American war, sapphic sparks fly when a professional sceptic and a spiritualist go head to head on a "haunted" Atlantic cruise ship! Buy now: https://geni.us/avisl "Avis Lovelock is a professional sceptic. Using her sharp insights and powers of observation, she sets out to debunk every nefarious spirit medium and psychic she can find. When American businessman Carlton Brooksbank invites her aboard the ocean liner Excambion to take her skills to America, Avis discovers she has been hired to prove to potential buyers that the vessel is not haunted. As she begins her investigations, she runs afoul of the famous twin spiritualists onboard, Gideon and Rachel Duquesne. They are her polar opposites, and Rachel especially has a knack for getting under her skin. The more Avis works to discredit her adversaries and absolve the ship of its haunted reputation, the more she starts to have visions of water filling her cabin, drowned bodies on decks, and flickering lights on the sea. Then someone is found dead. To discover the truth, Avis must join forces with her opponents, and confront some haunting secrets of her own." by @agentbakerbooks

🎂🎉Happy paperback book birthday to RAGWORT by Sam K. Horton/ @granite_and_glitter ! "Horton is a storyteller outside of time, I suspect he may be fae.” - @raine_clouds_writes , Arthur C. Clarke Award Finalist. Return to the dark moors of 18th century Cornwall with the paperback edition of RAGWORT - Sam K. Horton's much-anticipated sequel to his deliciously dark folkloric fantasy GORSE! Keeper Nancy Bligh is still holding the line against the dark... Beware spoilers for GORSE in the blurb for RAGWORT below! 👇 👇 👇 "A year on from the loss of Lord Pelagius Hunt of Mirecoombe, new Keeper Nancy Bligh is still struggling. She can banish the spirits and keep peace between the spriggans and piskies, but every time Nancy sleeps, she dreams of drowning. She is haunted by loss, and by whispers from all around of The Mother, and Nancy's witchcraft. As the only witch left, Nancy is eager for any guidance she can have. When she discovers the possibility that her grandmother, the most powerful witch of her time, might still live, she seizes her chance. Desperate for answers, Nancy journeys across the Cornish wilds to find her grandmother and uncover the secrets of The Mother, before it is too late." #ragwort #gorse #theeythinlegacy #eythin #samkhorton #fantasybooks #darkfantasy #folklore #folkloricfantasy #fae #thefae #nancybly #theundermoor #bookstagram #bookish by @agentbakerbooks

Meet one of the nominees for Best Horror Novel at this weekend's @britishfantasysociety Awards - THE NEEDFIRE by @mkhardywrites , who are also nominated for Best Newcomer! Buy now from all good booksellers! A Scottish, sapphic, gothic where a new bride arrives at her husband's home to find it oozing with atmosphere and crackling with tension. Nothing is quite what it seems, the roots of the past run deep, and even the earth is angry... A REBECCA for the highlands, but with more sapphic longing! "You are afraid of the border places. You are afraid of the fork in the road. Fleeing her mistakes in Glasgow for a marriage of convenience, Norah Mackenzie’s new home on an estate far in the north of Scotland is a chance for freedom, a fresh start. But in the dim, draughty corridors of Corrain House, something is very wrong. Despite their warm correspondence, her distant, melancholic husband does not seem to know her. She is plagued by ghost ships on the sea, spectres at the corner of her eye, by winding, grasping roots. Her only possible companion, the housekeeper Agnes Gunn, is by turns unnerving and alluring, and harbours uncanny secrets of her own. As the foundations crumble beneath her feet, Norah must uncover the truth about Corrain House, her husband, Agnes, and herself, if she is to find the freedom she has been chasing." #mkhardy #theneedfire #scottishsff #horrorreads #rebecca #daphnedumaurier #sapphic #gothic #gothicromance #darkfantasy #gothicreads #scotland #sapphicromance #gothichorror #queergothicreads #britishfantasysocietyawards #britishfantasysociety #sapphichorror #scottishhorror #thehauntingofavislovelock #spookyseason #spookreads #besthorror #besthorrornovel #besthorroraward #besthorrornovelaward by @agentbakerbooks

He was sentenced to the highest form of punishment - a hundred years of cryostasis with the promise of revival should his innocence ever be proven, or else culminating in death if it is not. And as he slept through the decades, tensions in the city grew. Just a week before Jagat is officially due to be executed, Nila, an ambitious law student, is asked to reopen his case. It's the opportunity of a lifetime, a chance to make her name. With Jagat's time running out, Nila must reach back into the past to understand what truly happened a hundred years ago. But as she investigates the case, she clashes with shadowy forces who would do anything to let the truth die with Jagat. As her peers compete for accolades and class rankings, Nila's case could determine the very future of Peruma." Gautam Bhatia: “I am so delighted that Solaris will be publishing The Fifth Inflection in the UK.
