The Burn Line

Jonathan Sims

From the dark and twisted mind behind the podcast sensation The Magnus Archives comes a suffocating, socially charged nightmare that reveals how fear festers in the cracks of everyday life… Beneath the streets of London, it hungers… It's the hottest summer on record and the city is suffering. Prices are high, pay is low. And on one fateful morning five travelers find themselves trapped in a tube car deep in the London Underground. It will change their lives forever. By the time they leave the train they will be bound together as witnesses to a single horrific event. Something terrible, irreversible, and monstrous. Something hungry. But they can't remember what it is. On their own, they each begin to experience strange dissociative events. Time gets lost. Friends disappear. Something stalks them in the shadows. They make an unlikely team, but to remember what they encountered that day on the train, they will have to work together. Because now it's up to them to understand what horror they saw – and stop it in its tracks before it drags everyone else down below.

NEWPHORIA!

Olivie Blake

From New York Times bestselling author Olivie Blake comes NEWPHORIA!, a playful yet biting dystopian satire about what happens if we get the future we deserve. It's 2075 and time once again for the annual Senecan Games, a fight-to-the-death tournament in which the sinful are contestants, as nominated online by their neighbors, mutuals, and IRL friends. But who has time to stream murder games in this economy? Just as the Senecan begins, Wolfie Anderson-Spencer, an archival researcher of millennial culture at Oxford, discovers historical memes may have been erased from his carefully curated files. As his forebears would say: highly sus! This seemingly individual IT issue leads Wolfie to the sinister discovery of outwardly unrelated secrets, including a survivalist cult’s mysterious massacre, a pop star’s cancellation and election to the first Senecan games, and a lonely young woman named Dolores who has managed to avoid the watchful eye of big tech—until now. She just may be the only hope of saving humanity from the dark web of exploitation that we unwittingly opted into. Moving back and forth in time, from the makeshift swamps of London to the abandoned ruins of the Central California coast, NEWPHORIA! is an eccentric, character-driven novel that explores technofeudalism, the dopamine hit of clicking "buy," and what happens if we actually get the future we deserve. “Blake proves herself witty, stylish and unafraid of big ideas.”—New York Times Book Review

The Church of the Mountain of Flesh

Kyle Wakefield

THE CHURCH OF THE MOUNTAIN OF FLESH is a cosmic horror novel about mad artists, bodies spiralling out of control, and a trans man's merciless desperation. Sole De Gasinis drowns his grief in wine and buries his hatred of his body in twisted sculptures. When, one drunken night on the beach, God orders him to rebuild his village's church, he knows he wasn't chosen for his piety. Instead, he and God make a deal. If Sole rebuilds the church, God will give him the body of a man. As Sole works in a frenzy for salvation, lifelong friendships decay, a village united to tear down its church fractures into pariahs and zealots, and power and grief reshape the prophet into a tyrant. Grief for a boy he fell in love with ten years ago, who claimed to be a virgin birth, who died in agony in the church crypt when the God inside him wanted out -- and whose monstrous remnant Sole must commune with for every piece of his prize.

Masterthread for Recommendations!

Hello everyone! I'm changing around the formatting of the quest forum and separating out a recommendations thread from the welcome post just to make it a bit easier for me to keep track of recommendations! Feel free to drop any recommendations for novels you think could belong in the Quest as a comment below!

In addition, in an effort to keep the Quest "fresher", additions will be mostly focused on newer releases, as in mostly novels that have only just come out in 2025-2026 and beyond. I may add some older novels if I come across them and determine they belong in the Quest enough to be added, but these will be few and far between.

If anyone is ever curious, I have a shelf to keep track of all the novels I'm currently considering to add to the quest labeled as Potential Adds to BH, which is public for anyone to look at! I will say as a disclaimer that novels on there are not guaranteed to be added, they’re just ones that are on my radar! I’m not going to explain all of my rationale for adding or not adding a novel, but I do want to be clear that I do my best to research before adding anything, and that may mean reading through recommendations I want to have a better understanding of (aka it may be awhile before a recommendation makes its way onto the Quest, if it does at all).

Thanks, and happy questing! 🍄🌹

Magnus Archives Fears

Hi all! I'm trying to make lists for each of the Magnus Archives entities. I have a good start for each but don't have any for the Vast, the Dark and the Desolation since those aren't my typical horror/thriller/Gothic reads.

For reference: The Vast: manifests as void, wide-open spaces, vertigo, falling, the transformation of something that should have a limit into something infinite. The Desolation: manifests as fire, wax, heat, burns, destruction of potential. The Dark: manifests as creatures hidden in the dark, shadow figures and monsters, blindness, coldness, dark water.

I'd appreciate any suggestions you could offer for these or other entities!

Ring Shout

P. Djèlí Clark

In America, demons wear white hoods. In 1915, The Birth of a Nation cast a spell across America, swelling the Klan's ranks and drinking deep from the darkest thoughts of white folk. All across the nation they ride, spreading fear and violence among the vulnerable. They plan to bring Hell to Earth. But even Ku Kluxes can die. Standing in their way is Maryse Boudreaux and her fellow resistance fighters, a foul-mouthed sharpshooter and a Harlem Hellfighter. Armed with blade, bullet, and bomb, they hunt their hunters and send the Klan's demons straight to Hell. But something awful's brewing in Macon, and the war on Hell is about to heat up. Can Maryse stop the Klan before it ends the world?
