She has built it carefully, with old rituals and even older bargains with the ominous visitor that comes each year.Then she finds a doe split open on the road.Beside it is the fawn who survived. Red-mouthed. Full set of teeth. Hungry.From the moment Tess brings it home, whispers gather in town. A new pastor starts asking questions. And inside Tess, something primal begins to wake: anger, appetite, the slow understanding that prey is only prey for so long.Dark, tender and eerie, Fawn is a slow-burning folk horror of nature, ritual and feverish femininity - a story about what a woman must become to protect what is hers.

Life Story
What if life on Earth evolved not once – but twice?And what if we're now facing a third phase of evolution?Life on Earth has evolved not once, but twice. First as organic life – from single cells to the astonishing diversity of the natural world. Then as human culture – from hunter-gatherers to cities, empires and global civilisations.In this sweeping and original work, Jonathan Loh reveals a radical idea: culture as a form of life. Unfolding across deep time – from the earliest organisms to the rise of Homo sapiens, from foragers to farmers, from the Bronze Age to the Industrial Revolution – it uncovers the hidden patterns linking genetics and language, organisms and states, ecosystems and economies, mass extinctions and civilisational collapse.One species has come to dominate the Earth. Yet as machine intelligence gathers pace, Loh asks whether that supremacy is only a phase in life’s longer story.What can we learn from our past? And what does this mean for our future?

A Short History of the Gaza Strip
‘An excellent primer . . . Essential reading’ GUARDIAN
*
History matters, especially in Palestine.
In this essential account, historian Anne Irfan reveals the long-term roots of Israel’s genocidal destruction of Gaza. She examines six key moments in its history that provide vital context for the present day, beginning with Israel’s expulsion of the Palestinian people in 1948, when the Gaza region was truncated to a tiny ‘Strip’ of 141 square miles, through to Israel’s occupations, the first intifada and the rise of Hamas. Drawing on a decade of meticulous research, she cuts through the misinformation and conflicting narratives to tell a story that begins long before the Hamas-led attacks of October 7 and centres Gaza as a microcosm of the Palestinian struggle. Clear-sighted and compassionate, this is an account that foregrounds the voices of Palestinians of all walks of life, from farmers and teachers to poets and activists.
A Short History of the Gaza Strip is an indispensable primer for anyone seeking to deepen their knowledge of Palestine and the wider region.

Mark Kermodes Surround Sound
'Brims with enthusiasm and joyful insight' – Richard Ayoade'Witty and wise . . . an entertaining and assorted history' – EmpireHow can a film score make you cheer, shiver, cry or punch the air?How do directors communicate their musical vision to composers?And when does a soundtrack take on a life of its own?Award-winning film critic Mark Kermode and radio producer Jenny Nelson embark on a full-throttle trip down the glorious rabbit hole of film composition to answer these questions and more.Celebrating the emotional connection that audiences form with film music, exploring the evolution of film scoring from silent films to the present day, and examining how what we hear has an impact on what we see, Mark talks to some of his favourite composers and delves into the movie music he loves.Including interviews with extraordinary talents from Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood to Oscar-winning composers Rachel Portman and Howard Shore, and the stories behind iconic soundtracks such as Jocelyn Pook’s Eyes Wide Shut, Michael Kamen’s Brazil and Vangelis’s Blade Runner, Mark Kermode’s Surround Sound is a thrilling take on how great scores are brought to life on the silver screen.
Reds
Reds tells the global history of communism, going beyond the turmoil of the 20th century, and exploring communist ideas, movements, and regimes. It starts in antiquity, not in 1917. It centres not just on the obvious leaders and thinkers but asks how the idealism of millions of working-class activists could lead to their acquiescence in mass murder, repression and social atomisation. A fact whose legacy - unfortunately - is alive and kicking in both Russia and China today. Paul Mason's startling new book will argue that the desire to live without hierarchy and property is an impulse deeply rooted in our human nature. Reds traces the history of communist ideas through revolts in the ancient and medieval worlds, and chronicles the rise of 19th century anti-capitalist movements. Using first hand testimonies of both the perpetrators and the victims, Mason gives a new and terrifying account of how the 20th century experiment in communism turned into a totalitarian nightmare. But, he argues, the story is not over. Western democracies are stagnant and lacking self-belief. Looming climate chaos demands radical economic answers. Millions of people in the global south see China's offer of authoritarian, state-led development model as a viable alternative. And among the Western left, new forms of techno-egalitarianism vie with right-wing libertarianism in the battle over the digital future.Reds will be a major analysis as we head into a dangerous new world order where China and Russia threaten major change to the world's democracies.
