Leave the Girls Behind
We assume we can spot a psychopath from across the room... Nineteen years ago, Ruth-Anne Baker's childhood friend was murdered by convicted killer, Ethan Oswald. With Oswald dead and the case closed, everybody tells Ruth it's time to move on - but she believes there is more to the story. And only the wilfully ignorant or easily duped would fall for their charms. When another young girl goes missing from their small town, Ruth becomes convinced that Oswald had an accomplice, someone the police overlooked. If no one has told you this yet - it's not quite that simple. So begins a journey that will draw Ruth across continents and perilously close to three women, each connected to Oswald in a different way. The deeper she delves, the more she suspects one of them knows the truth. About her childhood friend. About the missing girl. And, perhaps most dangerously of all, about Ruth herself...

The Midnight Timetable
Equal parts bone-chilling, wryly funny and deeply political, The Midnight Timetable is a masterful work of literary horror from one of our time's greatest imaginations. 'Truly nightmarish.' Andrew Michael Hurley'I inhaled Bora Chung's book of ghost stories and then slept with the light on!' Avni Doshi'Uniquely brilliant and exquisitely demented' Gerardo Sámano CórdovaIn a labyrinthine research facility, where those who open the wrong door might find it's disappeared behind them or that the echoing footsteps they're running from are their own, an unnamed protagonist begins their night shift under the watchful eye of the building's enigmatic senior guard. Each evening, as the fluorescent lights flicker and the silence grows heavier, the guard shares another tale of cursed objects and lives unspooled by vengeance, sorrow or revelation. But these are not mere ghost stories. They're warnings. Lessons. Or, perhaps, confessions . . . As the nights stretch on and reality frays, our protagonist starts to suspect that the building itself is alive with malevolent intent and that the objects they guard aren't just cursed. They're waiting. Watching. 'Electrifying. A feast of a book. Strange, hypnotic and audacious.' Irenosen Okojie'A fascinating novel of shifting realities centred by a steady, humane heart. Bora Chung is a master of concocting dreamscapes that linger.' Marie-Helene Bertino'These ghost stories . . . mist off the page and leave the real world hazy and askew.' Pemi Aguda

Crucially, he offers guidance for recognising warning signs and improving threat assessment.Running Amok is both a searing investigation into mass murder and a call to action, urging society to confront these dark realities and prevent the next horror.
