What to read this autumn: 2023’s biggest new books

Sara Pascoe’s new novel, rare Terry Pratchett, memoirs from Barbra Streisand and Britney Spears, plus the essential reading on today’s hot button topics – all the releases to look out for

Historical delights Zadie Smith’s The Fraud (Hamish Hamilton) kicks off a strong season for historical fiction. Also in September, AK Blakemore follows her acclaimed The Manningtree Witches with a darkly exuberant novel about one man’s insatiable hunger. Set in revolutionary France, The Glutton (Granta) is inspired by contemporary reports of a peasant who would eat anything, from dead rats to forks; and explores poverty, desire and social chaos in thrilling prose. Look out too for Lauren Groff’s wilderness-survival novel The Vaster Wilds (Hutchinson Heinemann), set in colonial America, as an English servant girl goes on the run in a strange new land; and the epic North Woods by Daniel Mason (John Murray), focusing on one patch of New England soil over four centuries and weaving a Cloud Atlas-style narrative of humanity under pressure and nature under threat.

Holliday Grainger as Robin Ellacott and Tom Burke as Cormoran Strike in the TV adaptation of JK Rowling’s series.

Bestselling crime and spies September means the annual offerings from Britain’s big three. Richard Osman’s elderly amateur sleuths get a fourth outing in The Last Devil to Die (Penguin), the latest in his Thursday Murder Club cosy crime series, as the worlds of art forgery and drug dealing collide. The Running Grave (Little, Brown), the seventh Cormoran Strike novel by JK Rowling writing as Robert Galbraith, sets the continuing romantic tension between her detective duo against an investigation into a religious cult in Norfolk. And in The Secret Hours (John Murray), Mick Herron takes a busman’s holiday from his Slough House series about washed-up MI5 agents. A historical inquiry into the secret service uncovers dodgy goings on in the “spooks’ zoo” of post-Wall 90s Berlin; it’s pitched as a standalone, but fans will enjoy joining the dots as Herron adds new layers to his shadow world of compromise and betrayal. Meanwhile, Stephen King’s prolific late flowering continues with a new outing for his detective Holly Gibney, chasing down serial killers in Holly (Hodder & Stoughton, Sept).

The Secret Hours by Mick Herron

Prize winners return Jesmyn Ward is feted for her visceral narratives of racial inequality in today’s US. With Let Us Descend (Bloomsbury, Oct), she looks back to the era of slavery, in the story of a girl’s forced march across America after she is sold by her white slaver father. Mike McCormack follows Goldsmiths winner Solar Bones with the “metaphysical thriller” This Plague of Souls (Canongate, Oct), as a man returns to a mysteriously empty home. Nobel laureate JM Coetzee’s The Pole and Other Stories (Harvill Secker, Oct) is led by a novella about a pianist’s infatuation. And Anne Michaels, known for the multi-award-winning Fugitive Pieces, returns with Held (Bloomsbury, Nov), which spans generations in the aftermath of the first world war.

The cult classic “If it weren’t such a pleasure to read, I’d say it was an instrument of torture.” You can see why Ottessa Moshfegh is a fan of Dinah Brooke’s pitch-black 1973 novel Lord Jim at Home (Daunt, Oct). A nihilistic satire on upper-class Englishness and emotional violence, it’s shocking and brilliant.

Julia by Sandra Newman

Dystopian visions In Julia (Granta, Oct), Sandra Newman opens out the world of Nineteen Eighty-Four by looking at that novel’s events from a female point of view. From Julia’s life in a women’s dormitory through her affair with Winston Smith and torture by the Thought Police, on to a meeting with Big Brother himself, it’s a fascinating reflection on totalitarianism as refracted through Orwell’s times and our own. Prophet Song (Oneworld), Paul Lynch’s horribly convincing portrait of Ireland falling under fascist control, has already been longlisted for the Booker; while The Power author Naomi Alderman takes a very different approach in November with The Future (4th Estate, Nov), an explosive tech-thriller about love and survival at the end of the world.

T wisted fairytales Margaret Atwood recently described Mona Awad as her “literary heir apparent”. (Of Awad’s BookTok sensation Bunny , Atwood remarked: “You think, ‘She’s not going to go there … yes, she is.’”) Rouge (Scribner, Sept) plays with horror and humour in a surreal, gothic tale about a mother-daughter relationship that is also a biting satire on the beauty industry.

Translation highlights David Diop follows At Night All Blood Is Black with Beyond the Door of No Return (translated by Sam Taylor, Pushkin, Oct), again drawing on historical sources, here to illuminate the slave trade through the story of a French botanist in 18th-century Senegal. The Postcard by Anne Berest (translated by Tina Kover, Europa, Oct), which uncovers the stories of her ancestors killed in Auschwitz, has been a bestseller in France. Meanwhile the Nobel-tipped Jon Fosse, Norway’s “Beckett of the 21st century”, publishes A Shining (translated by Damion Searls , Fitzcarraldo, Nov), following a man’s metaphysical journey through a dark wood; and Karl Ove Knausgård continues his new series with The Wolves of Eternity (translated by Martin Aitken, Harvill Secker, Oct).

The mythic retelling “Goddess, sing of the cataclysmic wrath / of great Achilles …” Six years ago Emily Wilson became the first woman to translate Homer’s Odyssey; her lean retelling of the companion epic of war and destruction The Iliad appears in September from Norton.

Comic fantastical fragments from Terry Pratchett.

Uncovered Terry Pratchett A Stroke of the Pen (Doubleday, Oct) assembles early short stories by the late Discworld creator, written under a pseudonym for newspapers in the 70s and 80s and only discovered after superfans combed through the archives. Expect comic fantastical fragments riffing on everything from cave people to Father Christmas.

The one to make you laugh In the funny and deeply relatable Weirdo (Faber, Sept), standup Sara Pascoe brings her quirky observational comedy to the story of a young woman navigating the trials of life – love, money, purpose – while trying to seem normal.

Weirdo: Sara Pascoe by Sara Pascoe

The queer history Drawing on documents and images from real-life pioneers, the hugely ambitious Blackouts by Justin Torres (Granta, Nov) is an intimate, playful account of an old and a young man talking; but it builds into a rich, poetic reclamation of cultural inheritance.

Elegant autofiction In Open City and Every Day Is for the Thief , the Nigerian-American writer and photographer Teju Cole has built up a wide-roaming, groundbreaking body of work. In Tremor (Faber, Oct), a west African professor working in the US considers the meaning of art and storytelling in the face of a brutal past and violent present.

Alternative world-building Golden Hill author Francis Spufford spins a sideways entertainment with Cahokia Jazz (Faber, Oct), a murder mystery set in a version of 1920s America. Cahokia was a Native American city in the centuries before European contact; here it lives on into the age of gangsters and speakeasies, a melting pot of drama and possibility.

Magical worlds for children Katherine Rundell took a break from children’s fiction to publish her effervescent biography of John Donne ; now she begins a fantasy series in the vein of Narnia and His Dark Materials with Impossible Creatures (Bloomsbury, Sept), set around a hidden archipelago where the animals we consider myth – griffins, unicorns, kraken – live and thrive. Meanwhile, the first in an epic fantasy trilogy from Kiran Millwood Hargrave, In the Shadow of the Wolf Queen (Orion), celebrates magic, nature and adventure.

Astronauts look down on our fragile Earth in Samantha Harvey’s Orbital

Immersive YA The epistolary novel Yours from the Tower by Sally Nicholls (Andersen, Sept) explores the hopes, struggles and first loves of three friends at the end of the 19th century, who have left boarding school for very different lives.

The big graphic novel The creator of Ghost World , Daniel Clowes, returns in October with Monica (Cape), one woman’s life assembled through a kaleidoscope of stories and genres.

Out-of-this-world nature writing Samantha Harvey is a beautiful stylist; in Orbital (Cape, Nov) a group of astronauts look down on our fragile Earth. It’s a slim, profound study of intimate human fears set against epic vistas of swirling weather patterns and rolling continents.

And if you only have one hour … From the short stories in Walk the Blue Fields to her stunning novella Foster, Claire Keegan is known for Tardis-like narratives that are bigger on the inside. In 2021, Small Things Like These , a tale of compassion and indifference in an Irish community, became the shortest book shortlisted for the Booker. In September a new story, So Late in the Day (Faber), gets a standalone publication. The memories of a man over one evening as he looks back on a failed romance, it illuminates individual limitations and misogyny across Irish society.

The months leading up to Christmas are typically when famous actors and musicians spill the beans in books. Among the A-listers putting pen to paper this autumn is Barbra Streisand, whose memoir My Name Is Barbra (Century, Nov) will look back at her six-decade career spanning stage, screen and the recording studio. The book remains firmly under lock and key, but promises to be “frank, funny, opinionated and charming” as she traces her path from her Brooklyn childhood to international fame.

The actor Patrick Stewart’s pre-fame story is one of extreme sadness and hardship: growing up in poverty in Mirfield in West Yorkshire, he was the son of a soldier who returned from the second world war with PTSD that would manifest in violence towards his wife. In Making It So (Gallery, Oct), Stewart poignantly recalls those early years as well as his first forays in theatre, his long and recently reprised stint as Captain Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation and late-career superstardom via the X-Men franchise.

Every Man for Himself and God Against All- A Memoir by Werner Herzog

Werner Herzog’s Every Man for Himself and God Against All (Bodley Head, Oct), translated by Michael Hofmann, recounts the film-maker’s impoverished childhood in a Bavarian village where the family had to make a loaf of bread last a week and the children went without shoes in the summer. Herzog goes on to chronicle his early jobs herding cows, fishing for squid and working as a rodeo clown before rising to become a celebrated director of films including Grizzly Man , Fitzcarraldo and Rescue Dawn.

There have been plenty of books written about Britney Spears, including Heart to Heart, which the singer co-wrote with her mother in 2000. But her autobiography The Woman in Me (Gallery, Oct) promises a new level of candour as it covers not just her childhood and early years of fame but the controversial conservatorship that placed her father in control of her medical and financial affairs in 2008, and which was terminated after a sensational court hearing two years ago.

Sly Stone, the funk supremo behind Everyday People, Family Affair and I Want To Take You Higher, has joined forces with journalist and author Ben Greenman for the memoir Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) (White Rabbit, Oct). The book chronicles Stone’s early life as a musical prodigy, his rise to fame in Sly and the Family Stone and his gradual descent into cocaine addiction and destitution. As his friend Questlove notes in the foreword: “Sly has lived a hundred lives and they are all here.”

Sly Stone, c1969 … his rise to fame in chronicled in Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin).

Sonic Life (Faber, Oct) will see Thurston Moore looking back at his career with Sonic Youth and the sounds and scenes that shaped him, while in Scattershot: Life, Music, Elton and Me (Octopus, Sept), lyricist Bernie Taupin discusses, among other things, his creative partnership with Elton John and his move to Los Angeles in the mid-1970s.

In the debate around the South African athlete Caster Semenya , her biological identity and her right to compete in international tournaments, one voice has often been missing: hers. In The Race to Be Myself (Merky, Oct) the double Olympic champion finally makes herself heard as she reflects on her rural beginnings and early running career, the shock at learning of her hyperandrogenism (meaning she has no womb and naturally elevated testosterone levels) and her treatment at the hands of the press and sporting bodies.

Stay True: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Memoir

The Taiwanese-American author and New Yorker contributor Hua Hsu’s Pulitzer prize-winning Stay True (Macmillan, Sept) is finally publishing in the UK. A portrait of Hsu’s friendship with a college friend who died tragically young, it is a richly observed examination of grief, being an outsider and the healing power of art. In the melancholy Father & Son (Picador, Sept), the Soft City author Jonathan Raban , who died at the start of this year, reflects on his relationship with his army captain father, and tells the intertwined stories of his father’s war years, as revealed in his letters to Raban’s mother, and his own recovery from a life-changing stroke.

Lastly, in the essay-length The Young Man (Fitzcarraldo, Sept), translated by Alison L Strayer, the Nobel prize-winning French author Annie Ernaux recounts her affair with a student 30 years her junior when she was in her 50s. Their relationship prompts the author to recall moments from her own youth and to reflect, acutely and without sentimentality, on memory and the passing of time.

If you read one book about ...

AI The Coming Wave: Technology, Power, and the 21st Century’s Greatest Dilemma (Bodley Head, Sept) by Mustafa Suleyman Suleyman is one of the co-founders of DeepMind, the British startup that was snapped up by Google in 2014 and whose mission is to develop artificial general intelligence, the kind of AI that most resembles the human brain. So, he knows whereof he speaks, and that makes his message all the more sobering. Suleyman believes that massive transformational change – the wave of his title – is now inevitable, and that there is only a narrow path for humanity to tread between catastrophe and authoritarian dystopia. This book sets out what we need to do to avoid either.

Emperor of Rome by Mary Beard

History Emperor of Rome (Profile, Sept) by Mary Beard Mary Beard’s regular book-length forays into ancient Roman culture include her 2015 bestseller, SPQR , and 2021’s Twelve Caesars, about the enduring influence of the empire’s rulers in art. While Emperor of Rome attempts to answer grand questions about those rulers – where did their power come from and what did it consist of? – it also drills down into their daily lives, fly-on-the-wall style. We are given snapshots of the emperor “at home, at the races, on his travels”. But the portrait also includes the people who helped keep the show on the road, from wives to jesters, slaves and soldiers, as well as the ordinary citizens who wrote in asking for help with their problems. Culture Opinions: A Decade of Arguments, Criticism, and Minding Other People’s Business (Corsair, Oct) by Roxane Gay In the 10 years since her breakout collection of essays, Bad Feminist, cultural critic Roxane Gay’s razor sharp intellect has ranged far and wide: from police violence to gay pride, from the Roseanne reboot to why she hates the beach. She has interviewed Madonna , Janelle Monae , Nicki Minaj and Pamela Anderson. Opinions is a new collection of the best of her nonfiction writing, all powered by a dry wit and penetrating insights into how society works, and who it works for.

What Went Wrong With Brexit- And What We Can Do About It by Peter Foster

Politics What Went Wrong With Brexit: And What We Can Do About It (Canongate, Sept) by Peter Foster The rollercoaster of the last few years has seen a rash of “setting the record straight” book deals from turfed-out politicians. Boris Johnson’s still doesn’t have a publication date, but this autumn sees Nadine Dorries’s The Plot, about his downfall, alongside unlikely shelfmate Theresa May, who has written about political corruption in The Abuse of Power. For a less axe-grinding take, and one that gets to the issues underlying so much of the recent chaos, try Peter Foster’s What Went Wrong With Brexit. Now the FT’s public policy editor, he was a balanced voice at the Telegraph where he covered Europe during the negotiations, and here presents prognosis and prescription for Britain’s Brexit-related woes.

Science Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution (Hutchinson Heinemann, Oct) by Cat Bohannon A sprawling survey of the evolution of women’s bodies over 200m years, Cat Bohannon’s deeply researched book covers everything, as the author herself puts it, “from tits to toes”. Partly, it’s a bid to correct the “male norm” – the fact that scientists default to male bodies, be they mouse or human, when studying things in the lab. That means that models of normal functioning and disease all skew male, as do the treatments that are then developed. But this isn’t just a book for women: Bohannon invites you to “think of yourself: to think about where your body comes from, how the evolution of biological sex shapes it – whether you identify as a man, a woman, or another gender”.

Music Listen: On Music, Sound and Us (Canongate, Oct) by Michel Faber Faber is best known for his novels Under the Skin and The Crimson Petal and the White, but he’s been incubating a different kind of book for years, one about his greatest passion, music. The result is a series of finely tuned observations formed from personal memories, nuggets of neuroscience and interviews with musical luminaries, in which he attempts to explain “what really happens when we hear, and what’s really going on when we listen”. The answer is a combination of biology and biography. Sounds simple enough: Faber’s kaleidoscope-like book explains why it really isn’t.

The plot thickens in the Hugo Awards drama. Turns out some people were right in thinking the whole mess had something to do with politics . A damn shame.

In more positive news, LeVar Burton has signed a book deal for two books, and I think I speak for us all when I say that we could do with more LeVar Burton in our lives.

Lastly, for the word nerds, Dictionary.com has released their list of updated words for winter 2024 — one of which is enshittification .

Now for new releases. A wildfire caused by climate change ignites big feelings in Berkeley, California, in A Fire So Wild by Sarah Ruiz Grossman. And, there’s a fantastical YA horror that I will categorize under Bomb Ass Title : My Throat an Open Grave by Tori Bovalino.

Before we continue on with the new new, let’s circle back real quick to a book that came out a couple weeks ago: The House of Plain Truth by Donna Hemans, a story that chronicles the struggles of a family across Cuba, Brooklyn, and Jamaica.

And for today’s other new releases, there’s an epic story of a conjuror-made safe haven in 1830s St. Louis, a feminist retelling of Zorro, a Cambodian food-based memoir of survival, and more.

cover of Ours by Phillip B. Williams

Ours by Phillip B. Williams

Now, this, this is the one. This epic, nearly 600-paged, sweeping multi-generational tome starts with Saint, an enigma by all meanings of the word, whose righteous fury and conjuring ability destroy plantations all over Arkansas in the 1830s. She brings the people newly freed by the destruction to a haven of her own making that she names Ours. It’s in Ours that Saint both shields — and maybe even entombs — her flock, protecting them from outsiders with her conjuring. But then her mind starts to slip, and her memories betray her. The fault lines in her creation are like beacons to other outside conjurors, and Ours becomes vulnerable. The narrative, bolstered by effervescent prose, Black spirituality, mythology, and surrealism, sweeps over four decades, showing what love can do to you.

cover of Sun of Blood and Ruin by Mariely Lares

Sun of Blood and Ruin by Mariely Lares

This reimagining of Zorro (!!), set in the 16th century, sees the fearsome Pantera fighting back against the tyranny of the Spanish in what’s called New Spain. Magical and skilled at swordplay, Pantera is low-key impossible to kill, but she also has a secret. During the day, she’s the guarded Leonora de Las Casas Tlazohtzin, who’s been promised to the heir to the Spanish throne. No matter — the prophecy given her by a seer predicts that she’ll die young. And, when an ancient, destructive prophecy looks like it’s coming to fruition, she plans to go out swingin’.

Blood Oath by Alex Segura, Rob Hart, art by Joe Eisma

It’s 1927 in New York in this new comic. Prohibition is in full swing, and Hazel Crenshaw is just trying to make it. If she can keep her head down and run her business, she’ll be able to take care of her little sister without a problem. But her business involves the New York gangs that soon morph into the mafia…and some other entity. Once her farm is attacked, she realizes that her involvement with the criminal underground has put her at risk for something much more frightening.

Slow Noodles: A Cambodian Memoir of Love, Loss, and Family Recipes by Chantha Nguon

As a Cambodian refugee, Nguon has lost everyone and everything she knows to the revolutions, civil wars, and mass killings of the 1970s. Here, she recounts her experience as a young girl during such a terribly chaotic time, showing how she later survived in refugee camps by cooking in a brothel, sewing silk, and more. Through recipes for things like pâté de foie, banh sung noodles, and chicken lime soup from her mother’s kitchen, Nguon reclaims her country and heritage.

Island Witch by Amanda Jayatissa

I’ve been looking forward to this Sri Lankan-inspired gothic story coming out for a while now. In it, Amara is the daughter of a traditional demon-priest, who was respected by the other townspeople before the new religion that came in with the British colonizers condemned tradition. Now, men are being attacked in the jungle, and Amara’s father stands accused. She’ll have to solve the mystery of the strange happenings to clear her father’s name…but there’s also the issue of the connection she has to what’s going on.

The Bad Ones by Melissa Albert

This genre-blending YA thriller/mystery/gothic horror has a lot going for it. It starts with Becca — Nora’s estranged bestie — disappearing along with three others in a small town. Nora tries to find out what happened to everyone and comes up against something odd: turns out Becca left her messages to decode before she disappeared. These decoded clues bring Nora to local folklore that involves a goddess of mysterious origins, who was part of the games Becca and Nora played as kids.

15 new fantasy and science fiction books to read in January 2024

A new year has dawned, yet your dusty old TBR pile from 2023 remains. Have you set a new reading goal on Goodreads? Cleaned off your shelves? Charged your e-reader?

Good, because it's 2024, and there are books coming out. This is going to be another great year for fantasy and science fiction novels, with some huge releases and exciting debuts peppered throughout. As we did last year, we'll be compiling round-ups of all the latest fantasy and sci-fi books each month so that you don't miss any of the hottest new releases. Starting now!

January holds a wealth of books, from epic clashes between gods and assassins to romantasy, myth and fairytale retellings, world-hopping sci-fi and more. Let's find you your next read!

THAT TIME I GOT DRUNK AND SAVED A DEMON by Kimberly Lemming ( Mead Mishaps #1)—January 2

January is kicking off in cozy fashion with That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming. The title says it all here. This is a romantasy rom-com which sees a spice trader named Cinammon accidentally save a demon, subsequently get caught up in their quest, and maybe (probably) have some romantic hijinks along the way. If you enjoyed lighter fantasy reads like Legends & Lattes , this one may be up your alley.

That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon was originally a self-published book that has since been picked up by Orbit, and its two sequels, That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf and That Time I got Drunk and Saved a Human are both finished already. They'll be releasing in February and March, respectively, so if you enjoy reading That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon you won't have to wait long for more.

Spice trader Cinnamon's quiet life is turned upside down when she ends up on a quest with a fiery demon, in this irreverently quirky rom-com fantasy that is sweet, steamy, and funny as hell.

All she wanted to do was live her life in peace—maybe get a cat, expand the family spice farm. Really, anything that didn't involve going on an adventure where an orc might rip her face off. But they say the goddess has favorites, and if so, Cin is clearly not one of them.

After Cin saves the demon Fallon in a wine-drunk stupor, Fallon reveals that all he really wants to do is kill an evil witch enslaving his people. And who can blame him? But now he's dragging Cinnamon along for the ride whether she likes it or not. On the bright side, at least he keeps burning off his shirt.…

THE SLAIN DIVINE by David Dalglish ( Vagrant Gods #3)—January 9

On the epic fantasy front, one of the first big releases of the year is The Slain Divine , the third and final book in David Dalglish's Vagrant Gods trilogy. Prince Cyrus has come a long way since he was forced into hiding after the Everlorn Empire killed his peoples' gods and took over the island of Thanet. There have been clashes between godlike beings, daring assassinations, betrayals, and more political upheaval than you can shake a dagger at.

The second book in the series, The Sapphire Altar , featured some major twists and turns that laid the groundwork for an exciting finale. Personally, this is one I'll be reading right at the top of the month because I need to know how it all ends.

The Everlorn Empire's grip on Thanet is tighter than ever. The God-Incarnate himself has arrived on its shores to crush the struggling rebellion and carry out his final, sinister plan: he will sacrifice the entire island in order to rise, reincarnated from its ashes. 

The rebellion is struggling to separate allies from enemies, and to figure out a way to stop the slow destruction of everything and everyone they care for. Meanwhile, Cyrus is disappearing deeper beneath the vicious mask of the "Vagrant". Under the mantel of the legendary assassin, he may be strong enough to take down the Empire, but at what cost? 

THE ATLAS COMPLEX by Olivie Blake ( The Atlas #3)—January 9

The gods of books looked down and decreed, "January shall be a month for trilogy endings." On January 9th we'll be getting The Atlas Complex , the highly-anticipated third book in The Atlas series by Olivie Blake . Six talented magicians vied to join the ranks of the Alexandrian Society in the viral sensation first novel of the series, The Atlas Six . Their dark and twisty journey continued into The Atlas Paradox , where readers found out even more about the true nature of the Alexandrian Society.

From the sounds of things, The Atlas Complex will bring things full circle, showing just how dangerous the agreement to join the Alexandrian Society really was.

Only the extraordinary are chosen.

Only the cunning survive.

An explosive return to the library leaves the six Alexandrians vulnerable to the lethal terms of their recruitment.

Old alliances quickly fracture as the initiates take opposing strategies as to how to deal with the deadly bargain they have so far failed to uphold. Those who remain with the archives wrestle with the ethics of their astronomical abilities, while elsewhere, an unlikely pair from the Society cohort partner to influence politics on a global stage.

And still the outside world mobilizes to destroy them, while the Caretaker himself, Atlas Blakely, may yet succeed with a plan foreseen to have world-ending stakes. It's a race to survive as the six Society recruits are faced with the question of what they're willing to betray for limitless power—and who will be destroyed along the way.

MISLAID IN PARTS HALF-KNOWN by Seanen McGuire ( Wayward Children #9)—January 9

This month will also see the release of the ninth book in Seanen McGuire's multi award-winning Wayward Children series. Wayward Children is a portal fantasy series with a unique twist. We're all familiar with the idea of stories where kids go through doorways into magical worlds. Wayward Children deals with what these misplaced kids go through upon their return, as they struggle to reintegrate into the real world after finding belonging elsewhere.

The format of the series is fascinating. The odd-numbered Wayward Children books typically show how various children return to the real world, where they inevitably end up at a school called Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children, which is designed to help them get reacclimated. The even numbered books are often designed as standalone stories that show what their lives were like in those fantastical worlds.

Mislaid in Parts Half-Known looks to shake up that format a bit; it's a direct continuation of the preceding book, Lost in the Moment and Found , and follows a group of students who leave the Home for Wayward Children. Who knows what worlds they'll end up in?

Antsy is the latest student to pass through the doors at Eleanor West's School for Wayward Children.

When the school's (literally irresistible) mean girl realizes that Antsy's talent for finding absolutely anything may extend to doors, Antsy is forced to flee in the company of a small group of friends, looking for a way back to the Shop Where the Lost Things Go to be sure that Vineta and Hudson are keeping their promise.

Along the way, they will travel from a world which hides painful memories that cut as sharply as its beauty, to a land that time wasn't yet old enough to forget—and more than one student's life will change forever.

Mislaid in Parts Half-Known is a story that reminds us that getting what you want doesn't always mean finding what you need.

SONS OF DARKNESS by Gourav Mohanty ( The Raag of Rta #1)—January 9

Sons of Darkness by Gourav Mohanty is a fantasy reimagining of the Indian epic The Mahabarata , with a dark and gritty tone in the vein of A Song of Ice and Fire or Joe Abercrombie's The First Law . We talked about this book back in July 2023 when it was released in the UK (and digitally in the US), but now at long last you can finally add a proper hardcover copy of the book to your shelves.

SOME BALLADS ARE INKED IN BLOOD

Bled dry by violent confrontations with the Magadhan Empire, the Mathuran Republic simmers on the brink of oblivion. Senator Krishna and his third wife Satyabhama have put their plans in motion, both within and beyond the Republic's blood-soaked borders, to protect it from total annihilation.

But they are soon to discover that neither gold nor alliances last forever – and that they are not the only players on the board.

Mati, Pirate-Princess of Kalinga, has decided to mend her ways and become a good wife. But old habits die hard, especially when one habitually uses murder to settle old scores.

Brooding and beautiful Karna hopes to bury his brutal past, but finds that destiny is a miser when it comes to granting second chances.

Hero-turned-torturer Shakuni limps through a path of daggers. Meanwhile, his foes and woes multiply, leaving little time for vengeance.

Their lives are about to become yet more difficult, as a cast of sinister queens, naive kings, pious assassins and ravenous priests are converging where the Son of Darkness is prophesied to rise... even as forgotten Gods prepare to play their hand.

PILLAR OF ASH by H.M. Long ( The Four Pillars #1)—January 16

Another series reaching its epic conclusion in January is H.M. Long's The Four Pillars . This Norse-inspired fantasy series follows siblings Yske and Berin, a pacifist healer and glory-seeking warrior respectively. Pillar of Ash will see them set out on a dangerous quest where they'll be drawn into an ancient conflict which could spell the end of their world. Based on some of the cryptic hints in the back-of-book description, I'm betting there'll be more than a little Ragnarok flavoring to events.

I have to add a special note here that since Pillar of Ash is the final book in the series, and publisher Titan Books did not choose violence, the whole thing is now available with nicely matching covers. They look pretty great together!

Yske, daughter of the legendary warrior priestess Hessa, has dedicated her life to medicine and pacifism in service to Aita, the Great Healer. When her twin brother Berin, hungry for glory, gathers a party to investigate rumours of strange sightings in the Unmade – shadows in the darkness at the end of the world – Yske joins the mission, to keep him safe.

Their journey east takes them through primal forests, walking paths last trod when gods were at war and ancient, powerful beasts were defeated and bound. And the closer they get to the Unmade, the more strange and terrible things haunt them from the shadows, corruptions in nature and monstrous creatures of moss and bone.

Earning the respect of Berin and his warriors, Yske must forge a place for mercy and healing in a world of violence and sacrifice. She must survive murderous ambushes and brutal sieges and take her place at the centre of the oldest war of all.

Thrust into a desperate conflict of survival, Yske and Berin will wage the final war with the gods – in the shadow of a vast and ancient tree, the fate of creation is about to be decided.

EMILY WILDE'S MAP OF THE OTHERLANDS by Heather Fawcett ( Emily Wilde Series #2)—January 16

The second book in Heather Fawcett's Emily Wilde series, Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands ,follows the titular scholar of faerie folklore on yet another adventure. The charm of Emily Wilde is in the telling; Fawcett's writing for the "curmdgeonly professor" bleeds personality, and the story is written in journal-style entries. It sounds like a pretty charming read!

Emily Wilde is a genius scholar of faerie folklore who just wrote the world's first comprehensive encyclopaedia of faeries. She's learned many of the secrets of the Hidden Ones on her adventures . . . and also from her fellow scholar and former rival Wendell Bambleby. 

Because Bambleby is more than infuriatingly charming. He's an exiled faerie king on the run from his murderous mother and in search of a door back to his realm. And despite Emily's feelings for Bambleby, she's not ready to accept his proposal of marriage: Loving one of the Fair Folk comes with secrets and dangers. 

She also has a new project to focus on: a map of the realms of faerie. While she is preparing her research, Bambleby lands her in trouble yet again, when assassins sent by his mother invade Cambridge. Now Bambleby and Emily are on another adventure, this time to the picturesque Austrian Alps, where Emily believes they may find the door to Bambleby's realm and the key to freeing him from his family's dark plans.

But with new relationships for the prickly Emily to navigate and dangerous Folk lurking in every forest and hollow, Emily must unravel the mysterious workings of faerie doors and of her own heart.

UNBOUND by Christy Healy—January 16

Next up we step into the realm of fairtytale retellings. Unbound by Christy Healy is a genderbent reimagining of Beauty and the Beast , steeped in Irish mythology and folklore. It's being pitched as a good fit for fans of authors like Hannah Whitten ( For the Wolf ) and Rebecca Ross ( A River Enchanted ), and from the description I can totally see that. It sounds enchanting, complex, and romantic. Plus that cover art .

Rozlyn Ó Conchúir is used to waiting—waiting for the king, her father, to relent and allow her to leave the solitude of her tower; waiting for the dreaded and mysterious Beast of Connacht to at last be defeated; waiting for the arrival of the man destined to win her heart and break the terrible curse placed on her and her land. So when she meets Jamie—a charming and compelling suitor—she allows herself to hope that her days of solitude and patience are over at long last.

But as she finds her trust betrayed—and newer, more sinister threats arising—Rozlyn learns that some curses are better left unbroken …

A DROP OF VENOM by Sajni Patel—January 16

If you're into mythology, there's a decent chance you might be indulging in the brand new Percy Jackson and the Olympians show that's airing right now on Disney+. One of the fascinating things that show is doing is fleshing out some aspects of the book that the author, Rick Riordan, wished could be updated, such as the tragic tale of Medusa .

It's fitting then that this month we'll see the release of A Drop of Venom by Sajni Patel, which is a reimagining of Medusa's story that draws on Indian myth instead of Greek. This book is coming out under the Rick Riordan Presents line, which are books that Riordan backs from other authors that explore mythologies from different cultures. Essentially, if you like books like Percy Jackson or Tristan Strong or any of the other mythological fantasy books that are accessible to kids as well as adults, you want A Drop of Venom on your radar.

All monsters and heroes have beginnings. This is mine.

Sixteen-year-old Manisha is no stranger to monsters—she's been running from them for years, from beasts who roam the jungle to the King's army, who forced her people, the naga, to scatter to the ends of the earth. You might think that the kingdom's famed holy temples atop the floating mountains, where Manisha is now a priestess, would be safe—but you would be wrong.

Seventeen-year-old Pratyush is a famed slayer of monsters, one of the King's most prized warriors and a frequent visitor to the floating temples. For every monster the slayer kills, years are added to his life. You might think such a powerful warrior could do whatever he wants, but true power lies with the King. Tired after years of fighting, Pratyush wants nothing more than a peaceful, respectable life.

When Pratyush and Manisha meet, each sees in the other the possibility to chart a new path. Unfortunately, the kingdom's powerful have other plans. A temple visitor sexually assaults Manisha and pushes her off the mountain into a pit of vipers. A month later, the King sends Pratyush off to kill one last monster (a powerful nagin who has been turning men to stone) before he'll consider granting the slayer his freedom.

Except Manisha doesn't die, despite the hundreds of snake bites covering her body and the venom running through her veins. She rises from the pit more powerful than ever before, with heightened senses, armor-like skin, and blood that can turn people to stone. And Pratyush doesn't know it, but the "monster" he's been sent to kill is none other than the girl he wants to marry.

Alternating between Manisha's and Pratyush's perspectives, Sajni Patel weaves together lush language, high stakes, and page-turning suspense, demanding an answer to the question "What does it truly mean to be a monster?"

SO LET THEM BURN by Kamilah Cole—January 16

So Let Them Burn is the debut novel from Kamilah Cole. It's a Jamaican-inspired fantasy story where a young woman must choose between saving her sister or her homeland. The story's heroine, Faron, has been blessed by the gods—which is probably helpful when it comes to fighting off an invading empire of dragonriders. I can't recall ever seeing dragonriders mixed with a Jamaican-inspired fantasy setting before, so I'm more than a little intrigued about So Let Them Burn .

Something else interesting to note: So Let Them Burn is technically being marketed as a YA book, but the comp titles which are listed on Amazon are Xiran Jay Zhao's Iron Widow and Samantha Shannon's The Priory of the Orange Tree . Iron Widow is also YA, but Priory is a massive, dense sapphic adult epic fantasy book. To me that says that So Let Them Burn has elements that will probably make for a complex and gripping read, no matter your age.

Faron Vincent can channel the power of the gods. Five years ago, she used her divine magic to liberate her island from its enemies, the dragon-riding Langley Empire. But now, at seventeen, Faron is all powered up with no wars to fight. She's a legend to her people and a nuisance to her neighbors.

When she's forced to attend an international peace summit, Faron expects that she will perform tricks like a trained pet and then go home. She doesn't expect her older sister, Elara, forming an unprecedented bond with an enemy dragon—or the gods claiming the only way to break that bond is to kill her sister.

As Faron's desperation to find another solution takes her down a dark path, and Elara discovers the shocking secrets at the heart of the Langley Empire, both must make difficult choices that will shape each other's lives, as well as the fate of their world.

TO CHALLENGE HEAVEN by David Weber and Chris Kennedy ( Out of the Dark #3)—January 16

Back to series-enders, we'll be saying goodbye to the Out of the Dark science fiction series by David Weber and Chris Kennedy this month. The final book, To Challenge Heaven , is due out right in the middle of the month. The series is sci-fi of the classic, action-packed sort, with an alien invasion forcing humanity to ally with other sentient species in order to avoid extinction.

In a universe teeming with predators, humanity needs friends. And fast.

We've come a long way in the forty years since the Shongairi attacked Earth, killed half its people, and then were driven away by an alliance of humans with the other sentient bipeds who inhabit our planet.

We took the technology they left behind, and rapidly built ourselves into a starfaring civilization. Because we haven't got a moment to lose. Because it's clear that there are even more powerful, more hostile aliens out there, and Earth needs allies.

But it also transpires that the Shongairi expedition that nearly destroyed our home planet ...wasn't an official one. That, indeed, its commander may have been acting as an unwitting cats-paw for the Founders, the ancient alliance of very old, very evil aliens who run the Hegemony that dominates our galaxy, and who hold the Shongairi, as they hold most non-Founder species, in not-so-benign contempt.

Indeed, it may turn out to be possible to turn the Shongairi into our allies against the Hegemony. There's just the small matter of the Shongairi honor code, which makes bushido look like a child's game. We might be able to make them our friends -- if we can crush their planetary defenses in the greatest battle we, or they, have ever seen...

WOMB CITY by Tlotlo Tsamaase—January 23

The next book on our list sounds like it might be the first truly mind-blowing science fiction book of 2024. Womb City is the debut novel by acclaimed Motswana short fiction author Tlotlo Tsamaase. I could try to describe what this book is about to you...but honestly, I think the back-of-book does such a good job that it'd be better off to just let it speak for itself. Womb City is easily one of my most anticipated sci-fi releases of the month.

Nelah seems to have it all: fame, wealth, and a long-awaited daughter growing in a government lab. But, trapped in a loveless marriage to a policeman who uses a microchip to monitor her every move, Nelah's perfect life is precarious. After a drug-fueled evening culminates in an eerie car accident, Nelah commits a desperate crime and buries the body, daring to hope that she can keep one last secret.

The truth claws its way into Nelah's life from the grave.

As the ghost of her victim viciously hunts down the people Nelah holds dear, she is thrust into a race against the clock: in order to save any of her remaining loved ones, Nelah must unravel the political conspiracy her victim was on the verge of exposing—or risk losing everyone.

Set in a cruel futuristic surveillance state where bodies are a government-issued resource, this harrowing story is a twisty, nail-biting commentary on power, monstrosity, and bodily autonomy. In sickeningly evocative prose, Womb City interrogates how patriarchy pits women against each other as unwitting collaborators in their own oppression. In this devastatingly timely debut novel, acclaimed short fiction writer Tlotlo Tsamaase brings a searing intelligence and Botswana's cultural sensibility to the question: just how far must a woman go to bring the whole system crashing down?

FAEBOUND by Saara El-Arifi ( Faebound #1)—January 23

From dystopian sci-fi we head next to the fae court. The Final Strife author Saara El-Arifi is releasing a new novel this month called Faebound , which follows two elven sisters who are exiled from their home only to find themselves in the mysterious court of the fae, where temptation and danger await. Faebound is the first of a new trilogy, so if you enjoy it there's more on the way.

Yeeran was born on the battlefield, has lived on the battlefield, and one day, she knows, she'll die on the battlefield.

As a warrior in the elven army, Yeeran has known nothing but violence her whole life. Her sister, Lettle, is trying to make a living as a diviner, seeking prophecies of a better future.

When a fatal mistake leads to Yeeran's exile from the Elven Lands, both sisters are forced into the terrifying wilderness beyond their borders.

There they encounter the impossible: the fae court. The fae haven't been seen for a millennium. But now Yeeran and Lettle are thrust into their seductive world, torn among their loyalties to each other, their elven homeland, and their hearts.

THE CITY OF STARDUST by Georgia Summers—January 30

The City of Stardust is the debut fantasy novel from George Summers, a romantic standalone which follows a woman named Violet Everly as she tries to break a generations-long curse on her family. In order to do so, she'll have to set out on a perilous journey into magical realms to stave off the ire of the seemingly immortal woman who haunts her bloodline.

For centuries, the Everlys have seen their best and brightest disappear, taken as punishment for a crime no one remembers, for a purpose no one understands. Their tormentor, a woman named Penelope, never ages, never grows sick – and never forgives a debt.

Violet Everly was a child when her mother left on a stormy night, determined to break the curse. When Marianne never returns, Penelope issues an ultimatum: Violet has ten years to find her mother, or she will take her place. Violet is the last of the Everly line, the last to suffer. Unless she can break the curse first.

Her hunt leads her into a seductive magical underworld of power-hungry scholars, fickle gods and monsters bent on revenge. And into the path of Penelope's quiet assistant, Aleksander, who she knows cannot be trusted – and yet to whom she finds herself undeniably drawn.

With her time running out, Violet will travel the edges of the world to find Marianne and the key to the city of stardust, where the Everly story began.

ESRAHADDON by Michael J. Sullivan ( The Rise and Fall #3)—January 30

We end our round-up for January with a new hardcover release from epic fantasy mainstay Michael J. Sullivan. Sullivan is the author of The Riyria Revelations , Riyria Chronicles , and The Legends of the First Empire , all of which are set in the fictional world of Elan. His latest trilogy, The Rise and Fall , is a series of three standalone books which bridge the gap from the days of the First Empire books to Riyria , when partners-in-crime Royce and Hadrian got up to their adventures. Each Rise and Fall book is about a specific character from the history of Elan, giving a broad view of how the empire shifted over time.

Esrahaddon is the third and final book in The Rise and Fall , and it centers on the early days of the titular wizard Esrahaddon, who should be familiar to readers of Riyria . This book first released through Kickstarter and digitally last year, but now at last Sullivan is making a new hardcover edition widely available. Your bookshelves can rejoice at having the fully completed series together at last!

A HERO TO SOME. A VILLAIN TO MANY. THE TRUTH FOREVER BURIED.

The man who became known as Esrahaddon is reported to have destroyed the world's greatest empire — but there are those who believe he saved it. Few individuals are as divisive, but all agree on three facts: He was exiled to the wilderness, hunted by a goblin priestess, and sentenced to death by a god — all before the age of eight. How he managed to survive and why people continued to fear his name a thousand years later has always been a mystery . . . until now.

From the three-time New York Times best-selling author Michael J. Sullivan, Esrahaddon is the final novel in The Rise and Fall trilogy. This latest set of stories sits snugly between the Legends of the First Empire series and the Riyria books (Revelations and Chronicles). With this tale, Michael continues his tradition of unlikely heroes who must rise to the call when history knocks, demanding to be let in. This is the nineteenth full-length novel in a body of work that started in 2008 and spans four series.

Lucy by the Sea , by Elizabeth Strout

A beloved Strout heroine takes on the pandemic. This novel, a follow-up to “My Name Is Lucy Barton” and “Oh William!,” finds the title character in the early phase of lockdown, as her ex-husband persuades her to leave New York to stay with him in Maine. From there, they build a tenuous bond, helping their children navigate crises and watching the country grapple with political and social upheaval.

Random House, Sept. 20

The Rupture Tense: Poems , by Jenny Xie

Xie’s second collection, after the impressive and intimate “Eye Level” (2018), centers on the human costs and historical ripples of China’s Cultural Revolution, which claimed her grandmother as a victim: “The brutalized. The hanged. The stoned. The lashed. The suicides. The betrayed. The paranoid. The disappeared.”

Concerning My Daughter , by Kim Hye-jin. Translated by Jamie Chang.

A woman in her 30s returns home to live with her widowed mother, causing an uproar by bringing her girlfriend to live there, too. As mother and daughter renegotiate their relationship, the novel raises questions about autonomy, justice and freedom — and the duty we owe to our loved ones.

Restless Books, Sept. 27

First Love and My Phantoms , by Gwendoline Riley

Previously published to acclaim in Riley’s home country, England, “First Love” and “My Phantoms” now arrive in the United States. Both deal with toxic family relationships, including those between mother and daughter, the central concern of “My Phantoms,” a book The Guardian said was full of “horrible, funny, uncomfortable truthfulness.”

New York Review Books, Sept. 13

The Furrows , by Namwali Serpell

Serpell’s epic debut novel, “The Old Drift,” followed families across generations in Zambia, stretching from the colonial era into the future.

Hogarth, Sept. 27

Shrines of Gaiety , by Kate Atkinson

Atkinson is perhaps best known for her novel “Life After Life,” which followed a British woman who is continuously resurrected to encounter different possible fates. Her new novel is set in 1920s London, and features a character named Nellie Coker seeking a foothold in Soho’s nightclub scene for her six children.

Doubleday, Sept. 27

Our Missing Hearts , by Celeste Ng

Life is quiet and constrained for Bird and his father, a former university librarian, as they adapt to authoritarian rules: Officials are permitted to displace the children of dissidents, and books seen as “unpatriotic” are being removed from shelves — including some by Bird’s mother, a Chinese American poet who left the family when he was a child.

Penguin Press, Oct. 4

Nights of Plague , by Orhan Pamuk. Translated by Ekin Oklap.

A plague breaks out on a fictional Mediterranean island during the Ottoman era, exacerbating tensions between its Muslim and Greek Orthodox communities. After a murder leads to a strict quarantine, the island is cut off from the rest of the world — and must save itself from the threats boiling over.

Knopf, Oct. 4

Dinosaurs , by Lydia Millet

Millet, a prolific fiction writer, has also worked at the Center for Biological Diversity in Tucson, Ariz., for more than 20 years . “Dinosaurs” poses questions about the power of community in the face of environmental danger. In it, a heartbroken man named Gil walks from New York to Arizona. Once out West, he becomes entangled with a neighboring family whose lives he can witness through the glass walls of their house.

Norton, Oct. 11

Illuminations , by Alan Moore

This is the first story collection by the legendary comic book author Moore, best known for his acclaimed series “Watchmen.” Drawing together decades of writing, these stories follow concubines who fall in love, paranormal researchers and an older man forced to confront his past.

Bloomsbury, Oct. 11

Demon Copperhead , by Barbara Kingsolver

The author of “The Poisonwood Bible” and “Flight Behavior” imagines “David Copperfield” in Appalachia for her latest novel. “A kid is a terrible thing to be,” says the narrator, the son of a teenage single mother who battles foster care, addiction and daunting odds in this story of survival.

Harper, Oct. 18

The Last Chairlift , by John Irving

In his 15th novel, the author of “The World According to Garp,” “The Cider House Rules” and “A Prayer for Owen Meany” tells the story of a slalom skier who becomes pregnant at a competition in Aspen, Colo. Years later, her son revisits the site of the competition and encounters plenty of family history, secrets and ghosts.

Simon & Schuster, Oct. 18

Liberation Day: Stories , by George Saunders

It’s been nine years since Saunders published a collection of short stories, the form that made him famous. (In the interim came his first novel, “Lincoln in the Bardo.”) As usual with Saunders, several of these stories — including “Ghoul” and “Love Letter” — originally appeared in The New Yorker.

Random House Oct. 18

Ghost Town: A Novel in 45 Chapters , by Kevin Chen. Translated by Darryl Sterk.

When readers meet Chen Tien-Hong, he’s just been released from prison after killing his boyfriend. From there, he returns to his hometown — a small village in Taiwan that he escaped for Berlin years earlier, fleeing family expectations and seeking acceptance as a gay man. Details about his childhood — and the circumstances of his lover’s death — come into focus over the course of this debut novel. “I always wanted to write a ‘ghost’ story,” the author notes in an afterword. “But what exactly is a ‘ghost’?”

Europa, Oct. 25

The Passenger and Stella Maris , by Cormac McCarthy

McCarthy’s first novels since “The Road” in 2006 are two separate but intertwined books that will be released roughly a month apart from one another. They tell the story of Bobby and Alicia Western, a brother and sister tormented by the legacy of their father, a physicist who helped develop the atom bomb, and by their love for and obsession with one another.

The Passenger , Knopf, Oct. 25

Stella Maris , Knopf, Dec. 6

Dr. No , by Percival Everett

Many of Everett’s novels (among them, “Erasure” and “The Trees”) slyly deconstruct American sins and pieties around race and other subjects. In his latest, a math professor becomes entangled with an “aspiring villain” who wants to break into Fort Knox in order to steal an empty shoe box.

Graywolf, Nov. 1

Small Game , by Blair Braverman

Braverman, a champion long-distance dog-sledder and author of the memoir “Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube,” draws on her knowledge of endurance sports and harsh climates in her debut novel, “Small Game,” about a survival reality show where things — surprise — go horribly awry.

Ecco, Nov. 1

The World We Make , by N.K. Jemisin

What if cities were sentient? That’s the premise of Jemisin’s “Great Cities” urban fantasy series, which began in 2020 with “The City We Became.” In her latest, the human avatars who embody the soul of New York City must fight a mysterious enemy, the Woman in White. To stop her from destroying the city, they team up with the other great cities of the world.

Orbit, Nov. 1

Flight , by Lynn Steger Strong

Three adult siblings converge for the first Christmas after their mother’s death, as they try to manage tensions and figure out what their family life means now. Meanwhile, a young girl in town goes missing, leaving the siblings to put aside their problems and support the girl’s family.

Mariner, Nov. 8

An earlier version of this article misstated the streaming service on which the TV series “Severance” is available. It is available on Apple TV+, not HBO.
