The Red Winter

by Cameron Sullivan
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

‘Fantastic Fantasy Debut’ - A brilliant debut from Cameron Sullivan, The Red Winter is an impressively crafted dark historical fantasy retelling of the Beast of Gévaudan. Sullivan’s writing is a deft mix of fantasy, queer romance, horror, and a touch of humour. Great characters, great world-building, and a great plot – there’s a lot to enjoy with this novel. This is easily one of the best fantasy novels of 2026 so far and a must read for any fans of Jay Kristoff and Joe Abercrombie.
