The best new novellas in the world...
Alan Bissett
"Writers love novellas – more space for their characters’ psychology to occupy than in a short story, but without the demand to make multiple plot-strands cohere over a long period – but rarely do publishers make a virtue out of them. "

Just Like Him To Die
Douglas Bruton's novella re-imagines the last days of Dylan Thomas as he lies unconscious and dying far from his Welsh home in a hospital bed in New York.
Just Like Him To Die is subtitled ‘a short novel for voices’ which mirrors the subtitle for Under Milk Wood: (a play for voices).
The Hardest Winter
Fiona and Drew live and work on a Scottish cattle farm. Beauty contrasts with the never ending chores and muck. Fiona is suffocated by the monotony of the endless tasks both in the farmhouse and outside.
Birth and death infiltrate her life till the harshest of winters with painful circumstances arrive.
Heaven Burns
Set in 1622, Jen McGregor's historical novel of Scottish 'witchpricking' is a triumph. Runaway housewife Isobel has a duty to do, acting as clerk to John Dixon, the finest witchpricker in the country.
She’s sure it’s what God wants her to do, and that she can keep her growing feelings for Dixon in check.
Albertine
In the near-future, those who can afford it will be genetically engineered to age slower and live longer, to have many lives within one life.
Albertine is a story about how technology might alter how we live and die, have sex, kill, earn, achieve, parent, and grow up. It’s also a timeless novella about the transitions all lovers make and—if they’re lucky—survive.
