Editorial Review: STATIC reads like a recovered archive — calm in tone, devastating in implication. By grounding its terror in documented signals, transmissions, and unexplained deaths, it erodes the line between coincidence and intent. This is not a book that scares you with monsters, but with the possibility that something has already been listening. STATIC Some signals end in death. When sound begins to fail, people assume it’s a glitch. Emergency alarms don’t ring. Screams don’t carry. Warnings die in the throat. At first, the silence feels calming—controlled, even beneficial....

In The Quantity Theory of Morality, Will Self’s unconventional new novel, his pen remains dipped in vitriol and elegance as ever. In this dark yet hilariously satirical “state-of-an-era novel,” Self’s target is a collective morality that is nothing more or less than pure sociability. His middle-class, middle-English characters appear trapped in a timeless go-round of polite chitchat in dinner parties that refract like a hall of mirrors as the novel progresses, until one day someone says something to the effect of, “This way to the gas chamber, please, ladies and gentlemen.”

The promise of power and greatness beckons, and Olivia surges forward, convinced she’s found what she’s always craved: wholeness, identity, and a self remade. But beneath the gleaming high-rises and immaculate offices of the Only Circle lies a brutal reality.

For readers who still feel the ache and electricity of The Sun Also Rises, Nuestro San Sebastián delivers a contemporary answer: a novel about desire, distance, and what intimacy looks like after the bravado era ends. Tom and Nicky arrive in Spain in their late thirties as two Americans who have already lived enough to know that connection is unpredictable, and that the body has its own vocabulary. What begins as a trip becomes a sequence of encounters: Madrid at night, Pamplona at speed, Bilbao in conversation, San Sebastián at rest. The country does not seduce them with spectacle; it ...
