Salvage This World
Michael Farris SmithMartin StiffI’ve loved all of @michael_f_smith’s books but I’ve just finished his newest Salvage This World and it’s an absolute barnstormer. Telling the gritty story of a young family on the run from a cult in the Deep South, his prose is quite unlike anyone else’s. It’s a must-read. https://t.co/WFboRx1z1X

Gormenghast
Mervyn PeakeMartin StiffA couple of lovely little art books I picked up from @adamsgallery42 in Reigate while checking out @DaveMcKean’s new exhibition, today. It’s a collection of his amazing drawings from the new edition of Gormenghast and it’s well worth a visit. https://t.co/J99MeE15bJ

Bad Actors
Mick HerronMartin StiffReally enjoying the new Slow Horses novel, Bad Actors. Mick Herron usually works a bit of contemporary politics into the series and I can’t help but wonder whether Dominic Cummings has read this one…

The Haunting of Alma Fielding: A True Ghost Story
Kate SummerscaleMartin StiffI’m reading The Haunting of Alma Fielding by Kate Summerscale. It’s a true story about a home haunted by a poltergeist during the 1930s. I picked it up because Amazon recommended it and it wasn’t until I started reading it that I discovered the house is in Croydon. Where I live.

Sundial
Catriona WardMartin StiffI do a little mini-review and score for every book I read. Despite reading some good books I hadn't found any 9/10's this year… but then I read @Catrionaward's Sundial. It's an absolute instant classic.

Chasing the Boogeyman
Richard ChizmarMartin StiffI'm currently reading Chasing the Boogeyman by @RichardChizmar and it's one of those books that when I'm not reading it all I do is think about it. It's absolutely phenomenal. If you're into true crime and small-town, Stephen King-esque horror it's a must-read. https://t.co/236BpUzuML
