Something is watching. Something is waiting. And it’s already too late.

In Benedict Anning’s Atomic Coffin, intelligence agent Heidi Sperling uncovers a chilling mystery: a long-lost Soviet submarine is active in the North Atlantic. Taken aboard HMS Viking to investigate, she soon realises this is no ordinary mission. As reality fractures and an unknowable force drives the crew toward madness, Heidi must survive the depths—and stop something far more dangerous than any weapon.

In India-Rose Bower’s We Call Them Witches, Sara and her family survive a world ravaged by eldritch creatures using folklore and ritual as their only defence. When a mysterious woman named Parsley appears, Sara is drawn to her—but when her brother is taken, they must journey through a brutal, haunted landscape. As their bond deepens, Sara must decide if Parsley can be trusted.

In Rhiannon Grist’s Home Sick, Tamsin retreats to a remote cottage after a violent incident, seeking a fresh start. But the isolation she craves proves impossible. Strange disturbances, unsettling local stories, and a deeply unnerving neighbour blur the line between paranoia and reality, leaving Tamsin to wonder if she can ever escape what follows her.
