Introducing Medlock by @BarnabyWalter writing as @SGHartnell This atmospheric and disturbingly tense contemporary reimagining of #TheSecretGarden is coming October 2025. Pre-order now bit.ly/MedlockWTS #Medlock


Incredibly excited for readers to experience MEDLOCK by @BarnabyWalter next year. 'The world Hartnell has created is ostensibly the world of The Secret Garden, but so much darker, stranger and more frightening. This is not a retelling but a sinister reimagining.' OCTOBER 25

.@BooksSphere has signed Medlock, a Gothic horror novel based on The Secret Garden by SG Hartnell, also known as thriller author @BarnabyWalter bookbrunch.co.uk/page/article-d… (£)

Happy Friday Crime Vaulters! Today we're sharing an exclusive extract with you from the audiobook of @fletchermoss' new thriller, #TheLastVisitor, brilliantly read by Kristin Atherton 🎧 Order your copy now: brnw.ch/21wLLaR


Many happy returns to @FletcherMoss and THE LAST VISITOR. A thrilling, endorphin-inducing ride that introduces a fabulous protagonist in Tess Macfarlane. Tess must stay alive in a brutal, rugged landscape, against an unknown enemy close to home. But nothing is as it seems . . .

#thelastvisitor is out today in the UK… Sooo many thanks to everyone at @BooksSphere @LittleBrownUK for all their hard work. And thanks for the wisdom, energy and cocktails @CallumMichaelK @Kirsteenastor! And to all the early readers who’ve been so positive - thanks so much 🙌

Read this on my holiday last week and it's a banger. It charts the teenage interplay between admiration and desire so believably, and I loved the soundtrack on pretty much every page. Thanks @Kieran_Sangha for sending me this beautiful book!

Happy pub day to @AugustVThompson and ANYONE’S GHOST 🖤🖤 a book that stuck with me from the very beginning, charting that complex journey of queerness, desire and adolescence. Can’t wait for readers to fall in love with Theron and Jake 🌆🖤 out now @picadorbooks !!

Oh also this is really great too!!! You can feel the sweat and see the sinew of it all.

Thrilled that @RitaBullwinkel's HEADSHOT is a @GuardianBooks summer read! 'Explosive ... Bullwinkel jumps between past, present and future to bring these powerful, brilliant, messy young women vividly to life.' theguardian.com/books/article/…



You must read this! From @Dauntbooks, coming Jan, about the porosity of memory, past wounds informing the present. It’s 93 pages and every one is a revelation tbh. Such an understated, beautiful translation. @marigoldatkey has done it again!!!!
