Mason Coile’s WILLIAM continues to receive rave reviews. In The Guardian, Lisa Tuttle writes: “The tension mounts in a brilliantly plotted story combining horror tropes, suspense and metaphysical speculation about the nature of the soul: a terrifying, thought-provoking read.” Meanwhile, Criminal Element reviewer Doreen Sheridan praises WILLIAM as “a cinematic, cautionary tale of bleeding edge robotics gone terribly awry.” In The Hippo’s Oct. 10 issue, Jennifer Graham writes: “It is the sort of book you have to read twice…I don’t like horror, but I loved this absorbing, disturbing little book.” Lastly, for The Toronto Star, Alex Good writes: “WILLIAM is a short, sharp shock of a book…Mason Coile keeps the human rats running through the maze at a brisk, entertaining pace and wraps things up with a great ending.” WILLIAM was published by G.P. Putnam’s Sons on September 10, 2024.

THE FOURTH CONSORT by Edward Ashton received a starred review from Library Journal. Marlene Harris writes: “This is a deep surprise of a story as it contemplates the perils and pitfalls of communication and the difficulty of reaching anything like understanding with a species with which one shares few if any frames of reference…Readers who found the struggle to communicate in Ray Nayler’s THE MOUNTAIN IN THE SEA will enjoy the equally fraught miscommunications between the minarchs, the ‘stickmen,’ and the humans, while fans of the classic STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION episode ‘Darmok’ will find this to be a familiar and similarly complex and heartbreaking tale.” St. Martin’s Press will publish the book on February 25, 2025.
