Protagonists don’t always need to be alive. Emma Osborne’s Grief Eater begins with the novel’s protagonist rising from the grave and making her way across Australia on a quest for revenge. The fact that writers like K Tidbeck and Cadwell Turnbull have had glowing things to say makes this particular story even more enticing. (Interstellar Flight Press; June 1, 2026)
