Ghost Station by S.A. Barnes is a horror story set on an abandoned planet following a crew of explorers as they try to solve a murder before succumbing to mental illness. Highly recommended.

Review: What Feasts at Night
T. Kingfisher's What Feasts at Night features the wonderful return of Alex Easton in another atmospheric novel. If Kingfisher keeps writing Easton novels, you bet I'm going to keep reading them. Recommended.
Review: Last to Leave the Room
Last to Leave the Room by Caitlin Starling is an exquisitely crafted book with big things to say about science that I just could not get into. If you like slow build horror, this might be the book for you.
Review: Red Rabbit
Red Rabbit by Alex Grecian is a Western novel mixed with supernatural horrors. It follows an odd group of individuals through a beautiful and brutal alternate Kansas. Highly recommended.
Review: Schrader’s Chord
Schrader's Chord by Scott Leeds is a moving horror novel that explores grief. This is an excellent debut and an excellent all around read. Highly recommended.
Review: Silver Nitrate
Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia is a slow build story about a sound editor and aging actor awakening long dormant magic from Nazi occultism hidden in a Mexican horror movie. Recommended.
Review: Paradise-1
Paradise-1 by David Wellington is a big book full of big ideas. It's also a fun read with interesting characters like Alexandra Petrova. Highly recommended.
Review: The Scourge Between Stars
The Scourge Between the Stars by Ness Brown is a fun, imaginative debut novella. This story is filled with a down but not out captain, an abused robot, and one hell of an atmospheric setting. The Scourge Between the Stars marks the arrival of an excellent new talent on the SFF/Horror scene. Recommended.
Review: The God of Endings
The God of Endings by Jacqueline Holland is a unique take on vampire stories. It's an existential novel pondering whether life is a blessing or a curse. This all too human portrait of Collette is wonderful. Highly recommended. I cannot recommend this book enough.
Review: Wild Massive
Wild Massive by Scotto Moore describes the lives of the inhabitants of a reality-warping building that may actually contain all of reality, except for the bits outside. Follow Carissa as she navigates increasingly difficult obstacles on her journey to live a peaceful, secluded life in her elevator. Thrill as a species of shapeshifting creatures fight for their freedom against the tyrannical building association. Enjoy a book that defies description. Highly recommended.
