Alison Flood Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

One of the best and most important books I have read for some time. It sees Jacobsen lay out, minute by minute, what would happen if an intercontinental ballistic missile hit Washington DC... the scariest book I have possibly ever read.

This author can really write, and the dystopian life he has imagined is, at times, truly disturbing. This is a world where the air is deadly, and where humanity has lived ever since anyone can remember, in a giant underground silo, a bunker hundreds of storeys deep...

Even Osman’s minor characters are exquisitely ridiculous... The thing that shines through in Osman’s writing, for me, is that he really likes people and revels in all their foibles and eccentricities. All of which makes for a delightful read.

A perfectly pitched horror novel, visceral and terrifying, delving deep into an eldritch world that sits alongside our own. It reminds me of early Stephen King... I am now forcing [this book] on everyone I know. Highly recommended.

Unemployed and in debt, Jonathan Abernathy takes a job as a dream auditor... I love this brilliantly sinister idea, and this novel has been described by one reviewer as the “spiritual sibling of Severance, but creepier”, which is right up my street.

Devastating in its impact and impossible to look away from. I can’t remember the last time I finished a thriller in tears, not even sure by that point who my heart was hurting for.

Our @newscientist review of DeLillo's White Noise isn't hugely positive - but it's meant to be unfilmable, right? https://t.co/7QP0crj467

You Like It Darker is a new collection of short stories that moves from “the folds in reality where anything can happen” to a “psychic flash” that upends dozens of lives. There’s a sequel to Cujo, and a look at “corners of the universe best left unexplored”.

Nothing can cheer me up more than a good post-apocalyptic romp, and the new novel from Polansky sounds like a corker. Manhattan has been enveloped by the funk, a “noxious cloud” that separates it from the world and mutates its population...

Once you read Osman’s funny, warm-hearted novels, it is hard not to be charmed by the eccentricities and the resourcefulness of his creations ... humour is gently threaded through every element of The Bullet That Missed.
