A look at our books included on The Booker Prize 2026 Longlist you should be checking out!

Several book covers on green background, including Helen of Nowhere, The End of Everything, and May We Feed the King.

We're so thrilled to share that 3 books from our brilliant overseas cousins have made The Booker Prize 2026 Longlist! So, get your TBR list ready, because these 3 books certainly deserve a spot on it if they aren't there already!

 

Book cover for M. John Harrison's The End of Everything, with blue icy landscape, lone figure, and black liquid streaks.

The End of Everything

by M. John Harrison


A slyly satirical and unsettling post-apocalyptic adventure into the limits of human understanding from the peerless master of contemporary fiction.







Blue book cover reading HELEN OF NOWHERE by Makenna Goodman, with Fitzcarraldo Editions at the bottom.

Helen of Nowhere

by Makenna Goodman


In the middle of the countryside, a realtor is showing a disgraced professor around an idyllic house. She speaks not only about the home's many wonderful qualities but about its previous owner, the mystifying Helen, whose presence still seems to suffuse every fixture.

May We Feed the King

by Rebecca Perry


May We Feed the King dances between a historical subject who resists the march of progress and a woman who turns to the past to hide from her present, to offer a beguiling meditation on history and storytelling: on what makes a King 'Great', and a life meaningful.






The shortlist will be announced on the 22nd of September and the winner on the 9th of November.
