Damoff S: The Burning Side

The Burning Side

A Novel

A rulebook for tackling phone overuse and reclaiming our lives Phones are bad for us. They are making us nearsighted, causing painful back and neck problems, and robbing us of the sleep and physical activity necessary for robust physical and mental health. Worse still, they are driving a widespread rise in depression, self-harm and suicide, especially among young people. Yet, even if we know that there's an urgent collective need to get off our phones, we are stymied by the scale of the problem and by the many highly addictive ways in which our phones distract us, delight us and pull us back in. Phone Rules is part of the movement to disrupt phone overuse, showing us how we can wean ourselves off our devices. Investigative journalist Luc Rinaldi gives us a playbook of five insightful rules to resist our phones, along with helpful strategies to put them into action. He is not merely an outside observer trying to understand 'kids these days', but a tech-savvy, video game-playing, millennial member of the generation for whom the Phone Rules most urgently apply. This is our invitation to join the resistance. Together we can discover new mental space and productivity, deepen our engagement with the people and things that matter most and reclaim our lives.

Five simple steps to save yourself, your family and the planet

Phone Rules

'A triumph of the queer gothic' Jane Flett, author of Freakslaw'Seductive and surprising at every turn' Caitlin Blackwell Baines, author of How to Build a Haunted House'Lush, sinister and blackly funny' Kate Collins, author of A Good House for ChildrenAt the height of lockdown, six friends make an illicit break for freedom. They're determined to enjoy their summer at Holt House, even if that means ignoring the deep fractures in their group. Jan is secretly sleeping with Nadya, whose boyfriend, Theo - ever the gracious host - just wants everyone to get high. Kara and Luke can't stop fighting, and Jan's ex-lover, Ursie, feels out of place among their excess and privilege. As tempers flare and old wounds reopen, their friendship begins to strain - politics, racism, antisemitism, sex and lies. And with drugs and desires blurring in the shadows of the house, a more ominous force threatens to ruin their trip...'Both a deeply unnerving read and a sly commentary on the skeletons in Britain's closet' Victoria Gosling, author of Bliss &amp; Blunder'A drug-fuelled cross between The Decameron and The Haunting of Hill House ... Craig at her unsettling best' Hesse Phillips, author of Lightborne'Lush, complex, and close to the bone, The Decadence filled me with horror in the best way' Krystelle Bamford, author of Idle Grounds

An unnerving novel of summer debauchery

The Decadence

In collaboration with JVL Media—a captivating exploration of why many high-performing Black business leaders attribute their transformational leadership qualities to their experiences growing up in the Black Church and how we can foster these skills in younger generations despite waning church attendance.The Black church in the U.S. has long been a “one-stop shop” for developing Black leaders, teaching them many of the qualities required to lead effectively in today’s ultra-competitive, digital, and swiftly transforming corporate world. Many high-performing Black leaders benefited from their experiences growing up in this cultural institution steeped in rich history.Merging cultural study with applied neuroscience and tenets of positive psychology, L. Michelle Smith dissect how these qualities are demonstrated by leaders across industries, from resiliency to their sense of undeniable purpose, their ability to build community and collaborative environments, the delivery and language of their speaking style to their unique leadership flair. She reveals how this historic institution has served as a timeless wellspring of leadership development, empowerment, and cultural preservation and ultimately, is Black leaders’ “secret sauce.”Call and Response also explores whether the Black Church will be able to continue to ingrain these skills in future generations. Smith examines how cultural shifts have resulted in a decline in church attendance, how online attendance has risen since the Covid pandemic, and finally, how Black leaders may—or may not—be passing these traditions down to their children.

10 Leadership Lessons from the Black Church

Call and Response

A money confessional from The FT's columnist, Sunday Times bestselling author and Lorraine's money expert, Claer Barrett, uncovering all the things we don't talk about when it comes to money that plague our relationships with others. Should you share a bank account with the person you share a bed with? Why does your partner insist on splitting the bills 50:50 even though they earn twice as much as you do? Would you be mad if your parents left all of their money to your less successful sibling? And best of all, how do you even begin to talk about these things? A taboo-busting reveal of the financial dynamics that underpin our relationships with others - our friends, partners and families - How to Talk About Money reveals the hidden money dynamics that bubble unsaid and ruin our relationship and our chance of attaining financial independence. With unfiltered money confessionals, practical scripts and tools to counter the most common money pitfalls and Claer's trademark no-nonsense agony aunt advice, this book makes awkwardness about money a thing of the past allowing you to enjoy the good life with your loved ones.

Overcoming the Money Secrets that Keep Us and Our Relationships Stuck

How to Talk About Money

We vow for richer for poorer. We sacrifice for our children, we give back to our parents. Because in true love and family matters, money's irrelevant and it would be terrible to suggest otherwise. Right?

**A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2026 IN STYLIST, VOGUE, LIT HUB, NEW YORK TIMES PODCAST, DEBUTIFUL; SHEREADS; BUSTLE** 'Flays the political moment. At all levels, it is a blast' Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby 'An unhinged satire with 'cult hit' written all over it. Perfect for tearing through on holiday' Daily Mail I'm a 32-year-old sex worker who just killed a politician. Please, please, please turn me into a feminist anti-hero . . . A 32-year-old sex worker has just killed extremist political hopeful Meat Neck. Holed up in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods, she now has only two days, her wits and a high-speed internet connection to save her own life. Her best bet is to reach out to the wildly popular feminist investigative podcast Justice for Bimbos. In a hastily-typed series of emails, the newly-minted "Murder Bimbo" explains how she was recruited and then trained by a cabal of code-named US agents to take out Meat Neck. But, when she starts a new set of emails, this time addressed to her ex-girlfriend, we begin to realize that Murder Bimbo might not be the unsuspecting cog she claims to be. In a time where 'truth' is more flexible than ever before - who really is Murder Bimbo? And what will she do next? Introducing an unforgettable character for our times: hyper-articulate, totally untrustworthy, politically murky, charmingly petty, and wholly egotistical - this is . . . MURDER BIMBO. 'A devious and outrageously entertaining satire that skewers America's surreal political landscape' New York Times 'The pacing is rip-roaring and it is impossible to tell where the narrative will go next in this thrilling ride' The Skinny 'Gone Girl for the Luigi Mangione era' Catherine Lacey, author of Biography of X 'Brimming with acidic humour . . . perfect for fans of A Certain Hunger and Boy Parts.

Impossible to put down' Jodie Matthews, author of Meet Me at the Surface 'Gloriously, riotously unhinged' Emma van Straaten, author of This Immaculate Body 'Dark, topical and bloody hilarious' Matilde Pratesi, author of Pig 'Prescient and entertainingly unnerving. A riotous, compulsive read' Ahana Virdi, author of Sour Fruit 'Profoundly bleak and entirely hilarious. I loved it' Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin

Murder Bimbo

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERThe world's criminals earn trillions every year. They keep almost all of it. Every effort to stop them has failed. Why? Join Oliver Bullough through the looking glass, voyaging through the dark heart of the global economy: where flows of dirty banknotes, designer goods and baby eels prop up illicit networks spanning from Miami to Shanghai - via, strangely, North Oxfordshire. Cryptocurrencies flow through ledgers that would look familiar to a fifteenth-century Florentine banker. Casinos, lottery tickets and government ignorance all power the merry-go-round of dirty money. And it all works brilliantly. Better than ever. There has never been a better time to be a criminal. It's time that changed.
