Naben Ruthnum is an award-winning author whose work encompasses memoir, food writing, screenplays and thrillers. His latest book takes a pinch of all those ingredients, ventures into the realm of Young Adult fiction, and adds a dash of classic 1990s supernatural horror.

The result is The Grimmer, which is a must-read for fans of Stranger Things and Buffy The Vampire Slayer, but which is also subtly seasoned with questions around identity and addiction.

So, prepare to be hooked, and irresistibly reeled back into the realm of 1996.

There’s an old adage among authors that you should write what you know. And as a prize-winning New York Times theatre critic, Alexis Soloski has an intimate knowledge of the theatre scene both on and off-Broadway.

Her debut novel, Here in The Dark, follows an acid-tongued theatre critic as she investigates a stranger’s disappearance.

By turns caustically funny and brutally dark, the book draws the reader deep into a world where the boundaries between theatre and reality become increasingly blurred and tenuous.

Join Alexis and Red as they discuss how life and art reflect each other, and the star performance given by Broadway actress Laura Benanti as the narrator of the audiobook.
