The Book of Beasts: 'An essential for any bestiary or folklore fan' LALLY MACBETH
"A modern bestiary with an ancient heart: meet twelve emblematic animals and restore your relationship with the natural world, from the editor of Cunning Folk. The bear deities, Artio and Artaius, who’ll rise from sleep; the salmon of wisdom who gifts understanding of the universe’s past, present and future; the Lion Man carved 40,000 years ago. Join Elizabeth Sulis Kim as she travels across the globe and through time, from our deep past into the future, bringing together the animals which have captivated us for millennia. Steeped in folklore, mythology, magic and religion, The Book of Beasts tells the story of our shapeshifting relationships with animals, from reverence to persecution, friendship to fear, awe to indifference. It asks us what we actually know about the creatures we share this world with – and offers us a different way of living together. 'Folklore, myth and magic collide beautifully' EDWARD PARNELL, author of Ghostland 'Beautifully written' RONALD HUTTON, author of The Witch 'Immersive, enchanting and exquisitely written' KRISTEN J. SOLLEE, author of Cat Call 'Powerful and beautifully written' MELANIE JOY, author of Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows © Elizabeth Sulis Kim 2026 (P) Penguin Audio 2026"

"When Edith Averly is sent to investigate a murder at Green Briar Lunatic Asylum, a rambling gothic institution on the edge of the Cornish moors, she's horrified to realise that in order to infiltrate the asylum, she'll have to pretend to be mad herself... Several weeks before her arrival, her beloved father stipulates in his will that his reclusive but strangely-gifted daughters must live apart from each other for a whole year in order to retain their family home. As a further condition of their inheritance, he assigns them each a crime that he was unable to solve during his recent years of armchair detecting. The eldest sister, Edith, can see echoes of violent events from the past. So when she is sent to the remote Cornish asylum where the brutal murder of Dr Hawkins took place seven years ago - she is quickly overwhelmed by her disturbing visions and begins to fear for her both her sanity and her safety... Because Green Briar is a place that asks more questions than it answers. Such as, why is the darkly-handsome new doctor in charge unable to meet her eye? Where do the patients keep disappearing to? And who are the Lantern Keepers and what are the secrets they keep? Only Edith can find out... if Dr Hawkins' killer doesn't find her first. Praise for Jenni Keer 'I absolutely LOVE Jenni Keer's writing. What an incredible imagination. Every book I've read of hers is such a page-turner. The House of Lost Whispers is captivating, romantic, mysterious and simply brilliant. I was already hooked by the premise and became completely mesmerised as this incredible story unfolded. Cannot recommend it enough.' Jessica Redland, bestselling author 'Keer's writing had me believing the impossible. A compelling tale of fate, courage and love.' Gillian Harvey, bestselling author 'To sum this book up in one word... Absobloodymazing!!!... I am in love with the way [the author] writes historical fiction, timeslips, mysteries and romance all in one book. She really is clever, the way she hides her clues throughout the book and gives her readers so many 'aha' moments throughout. The sheer amount of twists leaves you feeling seasick in the best possible way.' Reader Review"

Between the Lines: Life Lessons from the Creative Writing Workshop
"'I loved it' KIT DE WAAL, author of The Best of Everything 'Generous, intelligent, full of wisdom and insight' LILY DUNN, author of Sins of My Father * A transformative guide to creative writing and the power of paying attention. The way we use language to tell stories reveals a lot about who we are and what matters to us. In Between the Lines, Julia Bell draws on almost thirty years of teaching to take us inside the writing workshop, where students from all over the world meet to share and discuss their work. She finds that in this space a kind of alchemy occurs, where paying real attention to one another and what we have to say – the ultimate challenge in our atomised, 'always-on' society – becomes a profound emotional education. Weaving philosophy, psychology and politics together with stories from the workshop, and featuring wise, practical advice on how to go about writing, this generous and thought-provoking book is about the transformative practice of noticing and slowing down. It shows how bad writing teaches us good things, how creativity helps us to see and be seen, and how reading and writing together fosters connection, tolerance, more expansive ways of thinking, richer access to language, new perspectives – and a better understanding of ourselves and others. * 'What appears to be a guide to creative writing is actually a brilliant manual for how to exist in groups, to handle painful material, to grow together. Could anything be more necessary or inspiring?' Olivia Laing, author of The Garden Against Time"
