Audition
Katie Kitamura
An actress, a young man who may or may not be her son, and two versions of reality that refuse to line up. Slippery and unsettling in the best way, and no surprise it made the Booker shortlist.
The Snakes
Sadie Jones
A young couple visits her rich, awful family in France and things go very wrong. Tense and unsettling.
Incendiary
Chris Cleave
A grieving woman writes to Osama bin Laden after a terrorist attack takes her husband and son. Gutting.
