There is the tapeworm, which can grow one hundred and twenty feet within the gut of a whale. The tsetse fly, a notorious vector of disease whose needle-like mouth can pierce even crocodile skin. And the most universal symbol of parasitic behaviour: the much-mythologised leech.

Welcome to the hidden, squirming world of parasites – some of the most misunderstood, and most important, creatures with whom we share the Earth. And our bodies.

Long villainised, yet vital to every ecosystem on Earth, these parasitic creatures have driven evolution, shaped civilisations, and altered the course of human history. And we have almost entirely ignored them.

‘Your world will be larger for reading this book’ CHLOE DALTON author of Raising Hare

HIDDEN CREATURES by Dr. Dino J. Martins is out now!

Get ready for a twisty Gothic historical fantasy to add to your TBR by the Sunday Times bestselling author @spookypurcell, Thorns in the Hollow ✨️

Tabitha would do anything to remain at her ancestral home of Reynard’s Hollow. So, while marrying her cousin Vincent isn’t an inspiring proposition, things could be worse. He doesn’t hold a candle to Kit, the gamekeeper’s son and her childhood friend, but nothing would ever come of that anyway; she’s the lady of the manor, after all, and Kit is a servant.

Tabitha’s world is thrown upside down when her cousin dies in a hunting accident. He was her best – and only – chance to remain at the Hollow… so what will happen to her now? Why do his injuries look like the result of a brutal attack, rather than a bad fall? Is there something out there – some sort of monster, still lurking in the woods?

Meanwhile, Kit is wrestling with demons of his own. His mother is acting strangely, and the other servants’ mutterings about his true parentage are growing louder. The household, already under strain, reaches a breaking point as loyalties are put to the test and long-buried secrets are unearthed. And then Kit makes a discovery: there is something in the woods, although he doesn’t think it’s a monster. But at Reynard’s Hollow, things are not always as they appear…

‘It was going to be the long, hot summer of ’18; England were going to win the World Cup; I was going to be in pub gardens until midnight every night and get the best tan of my life and only ever get the good kind of hangover, where you feel kind of hazy and can digest a twelve-inch pizza like it’s nothing. It was going to be the kind of summer that lasts for ever.’

~~~
Meg’s getting ready to enjoy the best London summer of her life. ☀️

She’s left behind her adolescent loneliness and spends her nights in the bars and clubs of East London, occasionally finding brutish men to dominate her in bed. 🍸

That’s when she receives the email. It’s from Daniel, the name on the screen that consumed her at age 14. Daniel, the boy who helped forge all of Meg’s desires and wants. Daniel, who disappeared one day and ruined everything. Daniel, who would now like to meet.

Coming this July, the beautiful Korean translated novel THE SEOUL LETTER SHOP by Baek Seungyeon 💌

A touching testament to the power of letter writing and connecting with strangers, for fans of Days at the Morisaki Bookshop and What You’re Looking For is in the Library.

Hyoyoung feels trapped in her small hometown after her dreams of becoming a filmmaker have been dashed, and so when a friend asks her to come and work at his boutique letter shop in Seoul’s Yeonhui-dong district, she jumps at the chance 📮

The shop is stocked with irresistible pens, papers and envelopes, and Hyoyoung is soon beguiled by its charms. She is particularly intrigued by the shop’s pen pal service, where customers can pick up an anonymous letter to read, as long as they agree to write an anonymous letter in return. Hyoyoung observes the shop’s customers secret correspondence with each other, as they express their deepest fears and most ardent desires to people they’ve never met 🧡✨

Each of the customers has their own story to tell, and as her connection with them deepens, it’s not long before Hyoyoung discovers the healing, transformative power of the handwritten letter herself… 📝✍🏼
