When Foul Days came out, the comparison titles @torbooks.bsky.social used for it were "The Witcher, written by Naomi Novik". This was what inspired The Monster Hunter's Bargain - it's my answer to the books of Witcher short stories I adored so much as a teenager. I hope you enjoy it!

When a magical fire destroyed their family as children, Aleks and Vaira Kercheval escaped. Born to a world where power was everything, they’ve hidden from it all their lives. Then a letter arrives stating that Vaira has inherited Aubrey House, a decaying Gothic mansion full of dark, wild magic.

The estranged siblings haven’t spoken for years. But together, they return to their ancestral home, where crossing the threshold plunges them into a realm of shadows and ancient feuds. As the pair are drawn into a war between rival mages, the powerless Aleks accidentally summons and binds a monstrous prince from the Void – a creature of immense power. His gifted sister must learn to unleash her inner fire as the lines between human and monster blur. But can they survive the darkness that is to come?

Surprisingly, not that different? This is a horror, so much darker obviously, but it's also really funny, and the central mystery is very well done.

Shouting out a recent favourite: Home Sick by @rhiannonagrist.bsky.social is a brilliant, twisty, hilarious horror about a woman who moves to a remote cottage in the Scottish Highlands but her cottagecore dreams quickly turn into cottagecore nightmares. Absolutely loved it.

Cover of Home Sick by Rhiannon Girst, depicting two sheep heads on red background.
