ALSO OUT

here’s plenty more titles we couldn’t squeeze in. Jeremy Robert Johnson’s conspiracy thriller (out now, Titan) concerns a sleepy Oregon town where a strange signal (out now, Titan) is an original tale, featuring a woman living in a mountain shack with her abusive husband, a strange creature in the woods, and three cryptozoologists. Lisa Heathfield’s (out now, Titan again) is an ambiguously creepy tale of grief, displacement and jealousy, which follows two siblings sent to spend the summer at their aunt and uncle’s remote house in the hills. Honestly, Titan Books, put your feet up and have a rest occasionally, eh? The heroine of Maria Lewis’s feminist fantasy (out now, Piatkus) centres on the daughter of a forbidden union between an earth elemental and a selkie, who meets a group of rebels who need her help. Heather Walter’s debut (out now, Del Rey) re-tells as a Sapphic romance in which the princess falls in love with the evil sorceress. Finally, to celebrate the 42nd anniversary of the book’s publication, there’s a kid-friendly new paperback edition of (29 April, Macmillan Children’s), with charming new black and white illustrations by Chris Riddell. Aren’t they nice?
