• Haunting and dark literary fiction with a horror/speculative premise

  • Funny upmarket/crossover fiction with complicated female protagonists (often in jeopardy)

  • Books that are likely to be categorised as ‘Weird Lit’,  where we get inside the heads of unsavoury and slightly disturbed protagonists

  • A novel that considers identity and otherness from a unique angle

  • Literary/upmarket fiction about dysfunctional families, knotty sibling dynamics or toxic mother-daughter relationships

  • Literary fiction set in the world of a very specific job/industry

  • Exceptional horror from other parts of the world (especially Latin America, SWANA or East Asia)
