NEW RELEASE: The Cold Visitor, July 15th

It's going to be a cold summer...

My newest release, The Cold Visitor, will drop July 15th, 2025, and is my first chilling excursion into cosmic horror. This is NOT my usual approach, and I could not be more excited about its release. For this one (and perhaps any that follow...) I'm looking forward to swapping splatter for terror!

This has been a year-long labour of love, and I've

Jonathan Butcher answered Kiera Williams's question: Is the Elizabeth series getting another book? Hi Kiera, I don't know why I didn't see this question. Sorry. I would like to conclude the Elizabeth series with a final book, but I've got so many other projects too that it's taking a while to get to that particular project!

Jonathan Butcher rated a book really liked it Our Sarnath: A Cosmic Horror Novella by Judith Sonnet (Goodreads Author)	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
This cosmic horror read is surprising for two reasons: it's more heartfelt than its Lovecraftian influences, and more tender than anything I've read from Sonnet before (and I consider myself a fan of her work, so I've read several). Sonnet said that t ...more

Quite simply a masterpiece and the very definition of a page-turner - which, at 600-odd pages is no easy task. This is my first five-star review of 2026 (I think?), and I was enraptured by this disturbing ghost story/adventure, which takes place duri ...more
