Welcome to Future Fiction, my reimagining of the Waiting on Wednesday meme! There are so many amazing new books coming out, that I can no longer pick just one. My goal with Future Fiction is to share at least three new books each week, a combination of recent cover reveals and books that I’ve recently added to my TBR pile. I’m still going to be linking up with Wishful Endings/Can’t Wait Wednesday, and I also want to give a shout out to Jill at Breaking the Spine for starting the original Waiting on Wednesday meme. I hope you’ll find some new books to add to your TBR piles, and as always, I look forward to hearing what YOU’RE looking forward to:-D
And the cover reveals keep coming! Here are three new thrillers to drool over:
An exploration crew must try to stay alive on an eerie and abandoned planet in Ghost Station , a heart-pounding space horror novel from S.A. Barnes, the acclaimed author of Dead Silence .
As an exploration crew begins to establish residency on an abandoned planet, they must unravel the mystery behind the previous colonizer’s hasty departure. When their pilot is discovered dead – in what appears to be a gruesome murder – it’s up to the corporate-sponsored psychologist Dr. Ophelia Bray to find the killer among them … before someone else is next.
Ghost Station by S.A. Barnes. Releases in April 2024 from Tor Nightfire. I was so excited to learn about this book recently, and I’m glad Tor revealed the cover so early. I absolutely loved Barnes’ Dead Silence, and this looks like it’s in a similar vein. I cannot wait!
A sharp-edged, supremely twisty thriller about three women who find themselves trapped inside stories they know aren’t their own, from the author of Alice and Near the Bone.
Celia wakes up in a house that’s supposed to be hers. There’s a little girl who claims to be her daughter and a man who claims to be her husband, but Celia knows this family—and this life—is not hers…
Allie is supposed to be on a fun weekend trip—but then her friend’s boyfriend unexpectedly invites the group to a remote cabin in the woods. No one else believes Allie, but she is sure that something about this trip is very, very wrong…
Maggie just wants to be home with her daughter, but she’s in a dangerous situation and she doesn’t know who put her there or why. She’ll have to fight with everything she has to survive…
Three women. Three stories. Only one way out. This captivating novel will keep readers guessing until the very end.
Good Girls Don’t Die by Christina Henry. Releases in November 2023 from Berkley. So this book came out of nowhere. If I hadn’t been scrolling on Facebook, I wouldn’t have seen Henry’s post about an upcoming cover reveal. This sounds a little different from her other books, and I’m very curious!
The author of What Lies in the Woods returns with a novel about three sisters, two murders, and too many secrets to count.
Emma hasn’t told her husband much about her past. He knows her parents are dead and she hasn’t spoken to her sisters in years. Then they lose their apartment, her husband gets laid off, and Emma discovers she’s pregnant―right as the bank account slips into the red.
That’s when Emma confesses that she has one more asset: her parents’ house, which she owns jointly with her estranged sisters. They can’t sell it, but they can live in it. But returning home means that Emma is forced to reveal her secrets to her husband: that the house is not a run-down farmhouse but a stately mansion, and that her parents died there.
Were murdered.
And that some people say Emma did it.
Emma and her sisters have never spoken about what really happened that night. Now, her return to the house may lure her sisters back, but it will also crack open family and small-town secrets lots of people don’t want revealed. As Emma struggles to reconnect with her old family and hold together her new one, she begins to realize that the things they have left unspoken all these years have put them in danger again.
No One Can Know by Kate Alice Marshall. Releases in January 2024 from Flatiron Books. I discovered Kate Alice Marshall earlier this year when I read and loved What Lies in the Woods, so of course I’m on board for her next book:-)
Ooooh a new Kate Alice Marshall book. I really liked What Lies in the Woods so now I’m also looking forward to No One Can Know 😀
Yes! I can’t wait to read more of her books:-)
Each one of these is something I’d be curious to try. I suppose Ghost Station has the strongest pull, though, given it’s in space. 🙂
Space horror is the best:-)
Ghost Station sounds delightfully scary and with that oh-so-gorgeous cover i would pick it up even if I didn’t know how much the author can scare the readers… 😉

It’s space horror, so sci-fi adjacent?
I wish I liked Christina Henry more as her books always sound good but I have only loved one of her books the others for me were meh. I am curious about the new Kate Alice Marshall one though! 🙂

It’s so hard to scoop you, Shannon! lol
Ghost Station sounds good, and No One Can Know (and I love that cover).
I’m especially excited for Ghost Station:-)
I love the sound of Ghost Station and the premise of No One Can Know is fascinating. Thank you for sharing, Tammy:)).
I hope we both get to read them!
Ghost Station is going to be awesome!
I know! I can’t wait:-)
New books from S.A. Barnes, Christina Henry, AND Kate Alice Marshall?? I can’t wait for all of these! I am very curious about Christina Henry’s because it really does sound pretty different, but very intriguing.
I agree! It sounds very different, and from the cover I would never guess it’s a Christina Henry book, lol.
I’m really curious about the new Christina Henry and agree that it sounds a bit different from her usual books.
I do love that she tries different styles and genres. Can’t wait!
I didn’t love Dead Silence, but I think I will give the author another try with Ghost Station!
The story sounds very similar, but I loved Dead Silence so I’m on board:-)
Well No One Can Know seems amazing!
Doesn’t it? I can’t wait, I love the author:-)
Somehow I haven’t read anything by Christina Henry but I have lots of her books on my tbr and I’m definitely adding this one too!! No One Can Know sounds really intriguing too.
