A Box Full of Darkness
From the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book of Cold Cases, the new pulse-pounding standalone story about the childhood traumas that haunt each of us . . .
“As creepy and unsettling as a rain-faded wreath and teddy bear found by the side of the road to mark a missing person, [it] lingers like a ghost long after it’s finished.”―Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of How to Sell a Haunted House
—
Something dark has always hung over the Esmie siblings.
Each one is haunted, but all in different ways.
Violet dreams each night of a strange and cold woman looming over her bed, Dodie wakes in a constant state of drowning and Vale sees beaming lights and probing figures.
But there’s one thing that haunts them the most . . .
The disappearance of their little brother, Ben, who went missing during an innocent game of hide and seek back when they were children.
It’s been eighteen years since the siblings fled their childhood home, Fell House, the one that holds all the ghosts of the past.
But then Violet receives a call from the house’s caretaker. He’s too scared to keep working there. He says he saw the spirit of a young boy whispering two words . . .
Come home.
She, Dodie and Vale all know Ben is back – and he’s ready to lead them to answers they both want and fear.
But there’s a more sinister presence waiting for them at Fell House. Something that’s connected to their visions as children.
Something that wants a violent revenge.

A Hymn to Life: Shame has to Change Sides
The sexual assault that rocked the world. A courageous woman’s rallying call for ‘shame to change sides’. For the very first time, Gisèle Pelicot tells her story.
‘An emblem of resilience for women everywhere’ VOGUE
‘The bravest woman in the world’ DAILY MIRROR
** A best book to look out for in 2026 in The Guardian, Telegraph, Financial Times, Observer, Daily Mirror and BBC **
One November day, Gisèle Pelicot was called to a local police station and life as she knew it ended. Her husband of fifty years had been caught by a supermarket guard filming up women’s skirts. But on his computer was shattering evidence: for nearly a decade, he had been secretly drugging and raping her and inviting dozens of strangers into their home to abuse her.
Four years later, he and fifty other men were put on trial and Gisèle’s courage in waiving her right to anonymity made global headlines. ‘Shame must change sides,’ she declared, giving voice and hope to millions. Her words became a rallying cry and her decision marked a turning point in public feeling about sexual violence.
For the first time, and with unwavering honesty and grace, she describes a difficult childhood, first love, her career and motherhood. It is a life in determined search of happiness, both before and after her devastating discovery. She is an ordinary person who faces extraordinary catastrophe, whose example changes the world.
Ultimately, Gisèle Pelicot emerges with a renewed passion and reverence for living, and for love. A Hymn to Life is an unforgettable testament and promise: that victims have no reason to feel ashamed; that even after unimaginable betrayal we can go on; and that colour will always return to life.

A World Appears: A Journey Into Consciousness
From the best-selling author of How to Change Your Mind, a pioneering search for consciousness in the brain and beyond
A World Appears is the story of the quest to solve the greatest mystery in nature: consciousness. How does it feel to be you with your own personal feelings, thoughts and experiences? Every one of us is intimately familiar with consciousness, but no one knows how – or why – it came to be that three pounds of grey matter can generate a subjective point of view.
The early 1990s marked the birth of a new science of consciousness, based on the assumption that the phenomenon could be explained in terms of brain activity, but that effort is faltering, and wilder ideas, such as panpsychism, are now getting a hearing. Indeed, there is now reason to doubt that ‘objective science’ as we have known it since Galileo has the right tools to plumb first-person experience. A World Appears takes Michael Pollan from the laboratories where scientists are searching for the neural correlates of consciousness to encounters with philosophers and novelists and Buddhist monks, whom he finds have just as much to teach us about consciousness, if not more.
A story that begins in a brain lab in Seattle ends, of all places, in a cave in the mountains of New Mexico, where the author discovers that explaining consciousness may be less urgent than learning to practice it in our everyday lives.

Against All Odds: World Book Day 2026
A HILARIOUS WORLD BOOK DAY COMEDY FOR TEEN READERS FROM THE MULTI-AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF STEADY FOR THIS AND KING OF NOTHING!Noranto knows who he is. Or at least, he thinks he does.
Footballer. Hustler. One of the boys. He’s got the playground game on lock and big plans for his mum’s surprise birthday party this weekend. But poetry? That’s just something he does quietly – in his head, on the bus, between goals.
Until his teacher spots his talent and encourages him to enter a creative writing competition. Noranto laughs it off. No chance: the deadline’s in three days and he’s already got way too much going on. His mates agree and tell him to stick to what he knows. Poetry doesn’t win matches.
But the rhymes won’t stop coming. And a little voice inside him keeps asking: What if this is his shot? What if he could do it all?
As the weekend unfolds and obstacles are thrown in his way, Noranto finds himself stuck between what’s expected of him and who he really wants to be. Can he find the words in time – and the courage to share them – against all the odds?
A funny and authentic story about the joys and challenges of dreaming big and showing the world you don’t have to fit into just one box.

Alone in Japan: A Journey to the Future
From the acclaimed writer and journalist, a vivid and wide-ranging portrait of love, sex and loneliness in contemporary Japan
No sex. No kids. No future?
When Tom Feiling moved to Tokyo as a student in the early nineties, Japan was a beacon of the future: a rising superpower, a technology giant, and a global symbol of prosperity, civility and success. When he returned twenty-four years later, the country was still a sign of things to come – but, he began to realize, it was no longer a beacon. It was a warning.
This book offers a unique portrait of life in contemporary Japan, from the quiet of its furthest flung villages to the dynamism of its megacities. It tells the story of how, from the mid-seventies onwards, Japanese society unknowingly embarked on a vast, silent process of transformation that is still unfolding today. The country is still peaceful; it is still prosperous. But the population is shrinking. As things stand, it will fall by a third with each new generation.
Travelling through shrines and bars, rice fields and mango farms, coffee shops and old peoples’ homes, Feiling meets those affected by, and driving, this transformation. Through countless interviews and extensive research, he weaves together a powerful account of how and why men and women are ceasing to pair off and have kids. He reveals how sexual appetites and behaviours are both shaped by, and reshaping the evolving economy, and considers the risks – and the opportunities – of the rise in solo living in Japan, and beyond.
Clear-sighted and surprising, Alone in Japan is a portrait of love, sex and death in contemporary Japan that should provoke and engage us all. It is an electrifying portrait of a nation on the brink by one of the most original reporters working today.

Am I Normal?: Understanding your place in a complex world
‘The world can feel a hard place at times, who hasn’t asked themselves ‘Is it me?’ How wonderfully reassuring to have Dr Alex ask those same questions with his trademark warmth and honesty. A must read for everyone trying their best at life.’ DR JULIE SMITH‘This is the story of all of the ways in which I didn’t fit in and of all the things I would rather change about the world, than myself.’
How many of us have at some time wondered ‘Am I Normal?’ And yet, our society is set up in such a way that there is very little room for difference or quirks or for us to question what normal really is.
In this powerful, honest, and ultimately comforting book, mental fitness advocate and former A&E doctor Dr Alex George explores what it means to be “normal” in a society that often fails to embrace any kind of straying from the accepted path laid out by the expectations of others.
After years spent trying to fit the mould of what others expected of him, Alex’s ADHD diagnosis became a turning point – not just in understanding himself, or helping him navigate the highs and lows he had experienced in childhood, whilst working in A&E and after the devastating loss of his brother, but in challenging the systems and society that marginalise so many.
This is a book that will give hope to anyone who has ever felt different and help you realise that your version of your normal is enough.

‘Invaluable – a brilliant resource for anyone interested in rugby’ Bernard Jackman______________________________
Does it matter which foot your fly-half kicks with? How can teams win matches when the clock stops? Why don’t wingers actually play on the wing? Does having more possession increase a team’s chances of winning?

Attensity!: A Manifesto of the Attention Liberation Movement
‘Pay attention: If you are human, you must read this book’ Jaron Lanier
We all feel it: something is seriously wrong. Our attention―that essential ability to give our minds and senses to the world―is being trapped, gutted, and sold out from under us by an industry of immense technological and financial power. The heedless exploitation of this vital capacity by a handful of tech companies is harming us all, reducing our very selfhood to that which can be quantified, bought, and sold―and shaking the foundations of our democracy.
To push back against this ‘human fracking,”’we need more than individual willpower or isolated efforts. We need a movement of collective resistance. Such a movement is beginning to bloom, and in this radical, first-of-its-kind guide, The Friends of Attention show us how to join the fight. We meet welders, nurses, poets, and surfers, all of whom are engaged in attentional practices. We learn to seek out sanctuaries―theatres and museums, houses of worship, dance parties―where together we can take refuge from the frackers. Drawing on a rich legacy of critical intellectuals and the creative wisdom of diverse traditions, Attensity! takes our apocalyptic present, turns it on its head, and reveals new vistas of human flourishing.

From his early acting days on Spun Out to finding fame (and love) on the internet, Darcy shares all the dirty details (it’s NSFW, folks!) of how ADHD has shaped his identity, his relationships, and his work.
Peppered with asides from Darcy’s long-suffering husband Jer, advice for ADHDers both silly and serious, and words of wisdom from Yuma Dog herself, this laugh-out-loud guide is essential reading for anyone unpacking what ADHD means for them―or anyone who just wants to giggle.

Ausländer: One family’s story of escape and exile
‘Profoundly moving’ – Andrew Marr
Sorting through papers and photographs after his mother’s death, Michael Moritz uncovers the history of close family members murdered by the Nazis. Exploring their journey takes him into a past of tragedy, grief and
the dark shadows cast on Jewish life by the Holocaust.Leaving Germany as child refugees, Moritz’s parents escape to London before settling in Cardiff, Wales, after the war. But the idea of being a stranger or outsider – Ausländer – haunts the family; running through Moritz’s childhood and resurfacing in his adopted home of California, where he has become one of Silicon Valley’s
most celebrated investors.‘As the shadows of Trump lengthened, the refrain I had heard from my parents rang ever more loudly … “If it did happen somewhere, it can happen here”.’
Disturbingly relevant to contemporary America, Ausländer shows what can happen to families when
ordinary people hand licence to despots.Read more

Be More Bird: Life Lessons from a Hawk: Life Lessons from a Hawk (Audio Download): Candida Meyrick, William Collins: Amazon.co.uk: Audible Books & Originals
‘A small masterpiece, written with heart, self-belief and wisdom. Wonderful!’ PAUL THEROUX
A true story of Bird and writer Candida Meyrick, set on Anglesey – and a fable for us all to find a way to fly.
The twelve-week-old Harris Hawk, Sophia Houdini Whitewing – aka Bird – is trained over the following months by the author and her children to be most herself: a skilled hunter and dazzling aerial gymnast, whose flights enrapture the family and set the author on a deepening love affair with life on the wing.
Working with her Harris Hawk over the following years reveals a new world: confronting mortality daily, moving through a liminal landscape, part sky-, part earth-bound. And every day’s hunting brings a new life-lesson. Bird opens up a way of being that is everything the author most longs to be: courageous, compassionate, independent, full of joy – free as a bird.
Be More Bird charts this deepening relationship between bird and woman, set in one of Britain’s wildest landscapes. It reveals the subtle dynamic possible between human and bird, illuminating the ancient, worldwide art of falconry and its urgent relevance for the modern mind: the importance of untethering our souls and belief-systems and re-establishing a connection with the wilder world.
Structured around a series of ‘life lessons’, Be More Bird transports readers into the wildness hidden within themselves and to think profoundly about our connections with nature and our lives.
Be More Bird is a true story, still unfolding, of a wild predator who by choice flies in partnership with a woman as her earth-bound helper. Bird crosses boundaries: between species, cultures, sky and earth. In this way, Be More Bird is a fable for our times.
Dare to be more. Be more Bird.

Beaufighter vs German Flak Ships: North Sea and Mediterranean 1941–45: 151 (Duel)
An illustrated study of RAF Coastal Command’s deployment of the Beaufighter against German supply lines in 1941 and the long-running ‘arms race’ with Kriegsmarine Flak ships that followed.Crucial German shipping lines faced a new threat in 1941 when RAF Coastal Command debuted the iconic long-range Beaufighter. The aircraft and its subsequent Mk VIC and Mk X versions gave the Allies a tough, relatively fast and very hard-hitting platform for air attack on German convoys, and so it became essential for the Kriegsmarine to fit ever-heavier anti-aircraft batteries to its escort vessels, and even to develop specialist Flak vessels.
In this compelling study, naval aviation historian Matthew Willis chronicles the little-explored arms race that saw RAF Coastal Command and the Kriegsmarine engaged in a fierce battle of one-upmanship until war’s end. New artwork, rare archive photography and contemporary records of Beaufighter operations add depth to fascinating historical accounts, including the actions of the famous North Coates Strike Wing against shipping in the North Sea and the exploits of Beaufighter units tasked with severing Rommel’s all-important supply lines.
