My first time reading a graphic novel and it was a winner 👏🏻

Set during WWII, The Brownout Murders is more relevant than ever, highlighting issues still plaguing our society.

Engaging, thought-provoking and page-turning. Recommend.

Daisy May Cooper, BAFTA-winning actress, has always been intrigued by the paranormal. Convinced many of us share this fascination, she went to social media, asking others to reveal their stories.

Depth of Field by Kirsty Iltners was one of the best debuts I read last year.

A beautifully crafted story that touches on identity and belonging, while uniquely drawing on life’s parallels to photography.
