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
Today I’m featuring three new covers courtesy of Titan Books, who killed it last week with cover reveals! Take a look:
A feverishly told, dark and unsettling Scotland-set fairy-tale about a safe haven for women which transforms them into vessels of revenge, perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, A. G Slatter and Julia Armfield.
ELLY
Elly is running. Pregnant and still in her wedding dress, she flees the cottage that her new husband has rented for their wedding night. Because he’s not what people think he is – and she knows that, one day, he’ll hurt her in a way she can’t fix. Freezing and lost in the dead of night, Elly begins to lose hope.
A woman in the woods alone is never the beginning of the story. It’s usually the end.
So, when a beautiful house appears out of nowhere and a woman beckons her inside, it almost feels too good to be true.
Welcome to Hex House: a refuge, a home, a sanctuary. A place that can only be found by those who truly need it; a place that promises to teach Elly how to access a power more incredible – and more terrifying – than anything she could have imagined.
SIOBHAN
Four years after Siobhan meets Elly at Hex House, her life is in ruins. Once a promising filmmaker invited to the house to make a documentary with her brother, Theo, she’s given up on her dream after witnessing unspeakable horrors there. Now, she spends her time drinking too much, toying with an older man in increasingly dangerous ways, and trying to get Theo to speak to her again. She ignores the scar on her stomach that never fully heals.
That is, until someone reaches out with news about Hex House that could change everything.
And Siobhan knows, deep down, that she was always destined to return.
Hex House by Amy Jane Stewart. Releases in April 2026 from Titan Books. This sounds really good! A mysterious house that appears to women who need it, I’m intrigued.
A hilarious contemporary fantasy about a junior sales witch stuck in corporate hell, who has to evade devilish pacts and her kickass, world-saving, demon-slaying mum to save a (surprisingly hot) demon, and work out how to hit her quarterly target. From the New York Times-bestselling author of Dreadful and The Grimoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association.
Morgan Blackwater’s mother is a kickass, world-saving, demon-slaying Shadow Council wizard. As for Morgan? Morgan’s a junior salesperson at a tech startup that can’t even decide what its product is. But with magic dyslexia and a disinclination to kick ass, Morgan is doing her best carving out a niche for herself in the mundane world.
Leaving work late one night, she discovers her boss dead from the effort of summoning a demon to trade his soul in order to make his quarterly target. The disturbingly-attractive demon, Lucareoth (Luke for short), is trapped here until he finds someone to sell their soul. While trying to sneak Luke out of the building, Morgan runs into her infamous mother. Apparently, someone has been summoning demons and she’s here to get to the bottom of it.
Trying to protect Luke from her mother, Morgan gets sucked into the Infernal Plane and discovers hell really is a corporate nightmare. She only gets back home with a promise to deliver a human soul of her own. While her coworkers are really annoying, she’s not willing to sacrifice their souls. The company’s tech bro CEO, though, is another story.
With Caitlin Rozakis’s signature wit, STARTUP HELL is a contemporary fantasy that exposes the demonic nature of the corporate world.
Startup Hell by Caitlin Rozakis. Releases in May 2026 from Titan Books. I was so happy to see this book announcement! I recently read and enjoyed The Grimoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association, and this is a standalone novel set in the same universe. I can’t wait!
A macabre and chilling supernatural gothic horror about a group of teenagers cursed to die on their 18th birthday from the Stoker Award shortlisted author of The Book of the Baku. Perfect for fans of Clay McLeod Chapman, The September House by Carissa Orlando and The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes.
Flynn heads with her boyfriend, Jackson, and a group of their friends to spend the night in Temple Fall, a mysterious house up on the moors with a strange history. Breaking in for a night of drinking and teenage debauchery they instead find themselves trapped in a strange nightmare after a joke seance goes wrong. Suddenly forced into strange acts and behaviours outside their character, the tight-knit group starts to fall apart – and then Jackson falls to his death.
In the aftermath Flynn must confront the traumas of her childhood, her upbringing in captivity with her mother who suffered from crippling paranoia and OCD. As a foster child she has been forced to make her own place in the world, to forge a new family out of the few scraps of hope and compassion she has been offered in her life. And everywhere she looks she sees the ghostly figure of a Victorian woman, that no one else can see.
The woman that pushed Jackson.
Reeling from the tragedy the group find themselves split apart, each grieving and trying to survive on their own. But when they start to die, one-by-one, on the very second of their 18th birthday, Flynn must keep them all together to keep her found family alive. And she must dig into the lost secrets of her family past, to stop the curse being passed down to the next generation again.
Temple Fall by R.L. Boyle. Releases in February 2026 from Titan Books. A gorgeous cover and a creepy sounding story, I’m excited about this!
Ooh, all of these just went on my tbr!
I saw STARTUP HELL on IG earlier this week…looks like a fun one!
I LOVE the sound of Startup Hell:)). Thank you for sharing, Tammy.
Anndddd I’ve just nicked across and bought a copy of The Grimmoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association…
Hex House looks amazing!! That’s going to be a must-read for me, I think !
I love that pitch for Hex House: “A feverishly told, dark and unsettling Scotland-set fairy-tale about a safe haven for women which transforms them into vessels of revenge.” That sounds so good! Temple Fall also sounds really good and spooky!
Lord you killed it this week. I just added them all to my TBR. I just finished Grimoire Grammar School Sunday and it was so much fun. Not exactly what I expected but I really did end up loving it. These covers are all so stunning in their own way – it’s hard to pick a fave.
Ooh, they all look good but Hex House and Temple Fall particularly appeal to me.
Lynn 😀
I like the sound of all of these, and that last cover is so good! 😀
Ive added the first and last of these to my TBR. I think I’m most intrigued by Hex House overall as the way the house appears has caught my interest. The Victorian figure in the last one intrigued me too though and I love the cover, definitely gives off gothic vibes.
Just made sure all of these were on my goodreads watch list! Titan has a lot of good stuff in the pipeline!
Love these covers!! They are eye-catching Startup Hell sounds fun but I don’t know if I want to keep reading this author’s books. I love the ideas but then I didn’t love the books per se… So maybe!
