The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey very supernatural meets Frankenstein.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman

Coraline by Neil Gaiman

Cycle of the Werewolf by Stephen King it's a short storie with awesome illustrations

The Merciless by Danielle Vega (though 2 is much more in the horror genre but 1 is still good)


I'll stop there because I could keep going forever.

The Channel is a collection of short fictional stories, some with a touch of paranormal. Some will make you cry, some will make you think, and some will make you smile. Susan is a wonderful storyteller with a talent for leaving her readers with questions and possibilities in their minds but ending the stories with a satisfying close.

Agreed, there have been some amazing books out this year - some of these aren't even out yet. Looking forward to reading Han Kang's new novel.

With hotly tipped new work from major names including Arundhati Roy and Paul Auster, 2017 has been a strong year for novels:

Some bought this for my Grandma as a present. Some of it is interesting, but the author is a bit too cricket obsessed for me!
