  In the eccentric world of 'Pussy Productions,' a London-based porn production company, a motley crew of individuals find themselves inexplicably thrown together. How this incendiary mix of people came to converge is a curious tale in itself. 
  Sir Stott, a knighted Etonian, longs for the elegant normality of his pre-Pussy Productions life. Meanwhile, Hazelhot, an ex-military psychopath, is hell-bent on sowing violent, bloody chaos wherever he goes. 
  As events spiral out of control, the bizarre escapades of these characters become the talk of societal clubs, working-class pubs, newspapers, and even military history books. Throw in a handful of dwarfs, some fiery feminists, and a couple of famous porn stars, and you have a recipe for disaster beyond anyone's wildest imagination. 
  The tale unfolds in ways that defy rational explanation or belief, leaving high-ranking government officials and gangland hoodlums hoping such madness will never be repeated. 
  Welcome to a satirical journey where chaos reigns supreme, and the only certainty is utter unpredictability.

  ""Creep is everything I want from a novel—it’s obsessive, it’s rapturous, it spirals into the most masochistic corners of the mind. A perfectly twisted debut.""—Anna Dorn, author of Perfume & Pain 
  ""A chilling book by an exciting new voice.""—Vogue (UK) 
  From a blistering new voice in dark literary fiction, an unsettling portrait of loneliness, obsession, and identity which asks: if a stranger was left alone in your house, how well could they truly get to know you—enough to fall in love with you?  
  Alice and Tom are made for each other. Deeply connected, they share a flat in London, go to galleries together, enjoy the same books and wine. They even share a toothbrush. It’s all picture perfect. 
  Except Alice and Tom have never met. 
  Alice has been cleaning Tom’s apartment every Wednesday for a year. With every smudge wiped from his coffee cup, every multivitamin counted in the jar, Alice spirals deeper into infatuation, imagining a love so powerful it might erase a lifetime of self-hatred and loneliness. 
  But as Alice prepares for the moment when she and Tom will finally meet face-to-face, she discovers that love might not be the cure she thought it was. Instead, the line between fantasy and reality becomes ever more blurred, shattering everything Alice thought she knew. 
  Told in Alice’s compelling, deliciously acidic voice, Creep is a literary study of unreliability and unlikability. Exploring alienation, class, and race, it's a skilled debut with resonance in the way that we view women, mental health, and the lost in society.

  A Suitcase Full of Koalas is a modern, edgy travel book set to test your wits and memory for detail. Gallivanting around London and somewhere distinctly south of the great capital in a sleepy seaside village, the author finds herself handing out tiny furry koalas to the English, to the Polish, to the Italians, in fact to anyone who cares to accept the little fellas as a gift from Australia. In her moochings over a month, she manages to meet a myriad of characters from all walks of life who practically jump off the pavements, à la Mary Poppins and Bert, and into the book.  
   
  This is a book about life and living – about the human condition and quest for feathering one’s own nest. As John Donne observed, ‘No man is an island’, but sometimes we yearn to embrace solitude and sit with ourselves and a good book. A Suitcase Full of Koalas will inevitably tickle your fancy and have you laughing on every other page. But that’s a good thing, isn’t it?
