The Disappearers
*LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2026*MARLON JAMES'S TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO THE BOOKER PRIZE-WINNING A BRIEF HISTORY OF SEVEN KILLINGSDarkness is a mood in Jamaica . . .'The Disappearers is Marlon James s triumphant return to the Jamaica of A Brief History of Seven Killings a place of heat and chaos, and of danger for anyone outside the heteronormal.So when eight gay men meet for the first time, in Kingston in 1988, answering the casting call for an openly queer play, they are already taking a big risk.But that is nothing compared to what rains down on them when a mob descends on one of their rehearsals.By the end of this night, one man is dead, all are injured, and two subsequently disappear. As the survivors heal, each man finds he must confront the bigotry and homophobia that the attack laid bare. Some try to forget; some embrace their rage; and some simply vanish but all are forever scarred.As one of the victims puts it, there s a difference between when something ends and when something stops .And this story won t stop until both the disappearers and the perpetrators have been tracked, along trails both hot and cold, and an ending reached.Epic and intimate, violent and forgiving, The Disappearers is a tour de force which only Marlon James could have written both an unflinching portrait of the hatred and shame faced by gay men in a society which refuses to accept them, and a deeply human story of acceptance and insight.

The Nightingale and the Rose
Oscar Wilde’s jewel-like fairy tales tell of treasure, tragedy and transformation. These five fables are edged with darkness, but gleam with the trademark wisdom of one of Victorian literature’s greatest minds.In the unforgettable ‘The Nightingale and the Rose’, a young student yearns to be loved by his professor’s beautiful daughter, but his quest to capture her heart will come at a terrible cost. In ‘The Happy Prince’, a golden, decorated statue selflessly takes himself apart to gift his jewels to the poor people of the city he overlooks. ‘The Devoted Friend’ powerfully criticizes self-interest and questions what defines true friendship, and ‘The Star-Child’ and ‘The Model Millionaire’ reveal, fantastically, that appearances may not always reflect the truth.This series of pocket-sized paperbacks celebrates the art of the short story and marks Macmillan Collector’s Library’s 10th anniversary. Each contains a curated selection of short stories from a literary giant: Katherine Mansfield, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Alice Dunbar Nelson, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Rabindranath Tagore.

Queens and Kings
THE BRAND-NEW BOOK FROM SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR LUCY WORSLEY: AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW'What a glorious, glorious book, full of brilliant detail and behind-the-scenes wit and humour.'KATE MOSSE'A history of the British monarchy that only Lucy Worsley could have written: as puckish as it is scholarly, and informed throughout by the experience of having actually lived in a palace.TOM HOLLAND'Warm, insightful, and full of heart, Worsley has distilled a lifetime of experience into this crowning achievement of a book.'HALLIE RUBENHOLD
When it comes to royal history, Lucy Worsley holds all the cardsLucy Worsley has lived and breathed royal history for more than twenty years. As Chief Curator of Historic Royal Palaces, she worked in some of Britain's most famous royal sites, from Hampton Court to the Tower of London, and even lived in one of them herself. Now she takes us behind closed doors to reveal some of the monarchy's best-kept secrets.In Queens and Kings, Lucy brings to life the rulers who have shaped Britain over the last thousand years, from Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn to Queen Victoria and Elizabeth II. What emerges is a royal world far stranger, funnier and more surprising than we might think: of intimate love letters, phantom pregnancies, unruly pet monkeys and fatal betrayals. Venturing through haunted staircases and into private bedchambers, she finds the details that make history feel gloriously human. With her trademark warmth and incisive scholarship, Lucy explores the full splendour, scandal and sorrow of royal life. The result is a wildly engaging history of the monarchy from one of our most beloved historians.

Jack and Alice
These astoundingly clever stories were written when Jane Austen was between just eleven and eighteen years old, and deserve to be read and admired alongside her novels.Jack and Alice recounts a raucous masquerade ball and the gossip it provides for months afterwards; Alice, who has had a bit too much to drink, becomes infatuated with the pompous Charles Adams. In The Three Sisters, Mary is determined to be married before her sisters are, even if it means marrying a man she absolutely cannot stand. These stories burst with scandal and absurdity, featuring dramatic deaths, sudden marriage proposals, a prison break, a poisoning, robbery, a shipwreck, and secret affairs.Austen’s wicked sense of humour is fully unleashed here, as she brilliantly skewers romantic, societal and narrative conventions. Her teenage stories are the works of a true genius.This series of pocket-sized paperbacks celebrates the art of the short story and marks Macmillan Collector's Library's 10th anniversary.
