The Wilding by Ian McDonald (Gollancz £25, 320pp)
The Wilding is available now from the Mail Bookshop
The Lough Carrow project in Ireland's wild west is an admirable attempt to return an old peat working to its natural state.
With volunteers to educate school kids, it's a sort of soggy Eden with a visitor centre... but it's not just bog myrtle, birdlife and insects that are repopulating the teeming wetlands.
Personal backstories and mythical Irish creatures jostle for attention in the foetid landscape. As a group of ill-prepared teenagers and their guide battle their way through the bog, there's suspense, gore, death and revelation.
While monsters do what monsters do, you'll be sucked down, held and left spluttering for breath. Brilliant stuff.
Jackal by Erin E. Adams (Bantam Books £10.99, 352pp)
Jackal is available now from the Mail Bookshop
Rust-belt America is the bleak backdrop to this detective/horror serial killer mystery: think Mare of Easttown with a dark, supernatural pulse.
Liz is coming home to her best friend's wedding. Her mother's a high-achieving Haitian immigrant, too busy to feel the turbid swirl of the township's racial undercurrents. When Liz's friend's mixed-race daughter goes into the woods and disappears, JetBlack Liz discovers a pattern of Black girls going missing but no one is admitting there's a deep-rooted problem.
Fighting indifference and suspicion, Liz has to convince the townsfolk that there's a monster out there, but what manner of beast is it and does her own childhood trauma hold the key?
The Fortunes of Olivia Richmond by Louise Davidson (Moonflower £8.99, 350pp)
The fortunes of Olivia Richmond is available now from the Mail Bookshop
Gothic atmosphere feeds off excess: you simply can't have too much of decaying mansions and sullen mists. Does Louise Davison deliver?
By the miasmic bucketload as her genteelly impoverished heroine
Julia Pearlie fetches up at Mistcoate House to take charge of a teenage girl: an untamed wild-child.
What's wrong with her witchy charge? Can she really tell fortunes with tarot cards? Is the sinister housekeeper to be trusted? Or does the problem lie with the frankly horrendous medical experiments of the poor girl's father?
With her back to the mouldering wall, it's up to Julia to find out. Unless, of course, the shadows of own past engulf her.
