From the director known for work on The Avengers (1998), Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018), and The Batman (2022).
Foreshore Books Announces The Green Man, a New Supernatural Horror Thriller by Mark Woollard — Coming Autumn 2026.
Foreshore Books, the small-press imprint of Foreshore Publishing, is excited to announce the upcoming release of The Green Man, a chilling new supernatural thriller that draws on one of Britain’s oldest and most intriguing myths.
Set in the deep forests of southern England, The Green Man follows John Turner, an ex-soldier seeking quiet work and recovery far from his past. But when a series of disturbing incidents begins near an ancient Iron Age site, Turner finds himself pulled into a mystery that unsettles both locals and investigators. As old symbols, forgotten histories, and buried emotions resurface, Turner discovers that the forest holds far more than legends — and that the past, both personal and ancient, is not as distant as it seems.
The story unfolds with creeping dread, blending psychological tension with mythological mystery as Turner is drawn into events he cannot ignore. Joined by journalist Lowry Warner and historical theologian Peter Howell, he must confront forces that defy explanation and a darkness that seems to wake with every step deeper into the woods.
Foreshore Books to Publish Short Story Collection by Graham Buchan
September 10, 2025
Foreshore Books, the small press imprint of Foreshore Publishing, is excited to announce the upcoming release of So Sweet and Other Stories, a captivating collection of short stories, flash fiction, and flash non-fiction by acclaimed writer Graham Buchan. English-language rights have been secured for the US, UK, and international markets.
So Sweet and Other Stories features twenty-six diverse works, ranging from around 6,000 words to under 200 words. Sixteen of these pieces have been previously published in prestigious literary outlets including London Magazine, Litro, Magma, Avocado, and Exquisite Death. Additionally, four stories have been performed at Liars’ League events in London, New York, and Hong Kong.
Buchan’s collection explores a wide range of themes—from the often dark and unsettling, including murder, crime, violence, war, and oppression, to more tender investigations of love, desire, and family ties. Some stories adopt lighter tones, while others draw on historical moments such as the Second World War. Settings vary widely, spanning cities such as London, Russia, and Poland. Recurring motifs of music, writing, and science add layers of richness to the narratives.

The Birdwatchers is a hypnotic literary novella about loneliness, attention, and the search for genuine connection in an age of constant distraction.
Set in a glass-bright Swiss city, Jean lives a life shaped by routine: corporate days, online nights, and a quiet sense of dislocation he cannot name. When a woman on his daily commute captures his attention, a chance misunderstanding draws him into a trio of amateur birdwatchers.
To remain close to the group, Jean adopts their rituals of stillness: early mornings by the lake, silent observation, learning how to watch. But birdwatching demands more than patience. It asks Jean to look inward, to confront the distance between longing and real connection, and to question what it means to truly see the world—and himself.
Written in precise, luminous prose, The Birdwatchers explores urban solitude, desire, and the fragile work of being present. Echoing the interior intensity of Jon Fosse and the clarity of Rachel Cusk, AJ Lawson’s striking debut novella offers an unforgettable meditation on how attention can reshape a life.
A BOLD FEMINIST TALE OF SURVIVAL, VENGEANCE, AND REBIRTH—NOW IN ENGLISH FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Springtime in the Bones introduces English readers to Állex Leilla, a major contemporary Brazilian voice whose work blends lyrical intensity with the sharp edges of noir. Set in Salvador, Bahia, the novel follows Luísa, a rising star in the advertising world—clever, stylish, admired. But beneath her polished exterior lies a woman piecing herself back together from two shattering blows: a violent rape and the collapse of a marriage she fought desperately to save.
Her ex-husband Michel has embraced his attraction to men, leaving Luísa suspended between love, longing, and abandonment. Yet the deeper fracture lies in the harm she has never fully voiced—and in the rage that now refuses to stay quiet.
Haunted by memories of a past shared with Michel, searching for a future free of pain and resentment, Luísa knows with all-consuming clarity: she must kill her rapists. What begins as a whispered thought becomes a mission sharpened by pain, tempered by dark humour, and sustained by her fierce desire to reclaim power over her own story. As she confronts the men who stole her sense of safety, she also confronts herself—her contradictions, her desires, and the fragile promise of renewal.
Finding who you are can change everything.
Declan Someone is a neurodiverse teenager from New York who has spent his life feeling slightly out of sync—with other people, with expectations, and with himself. When an unexpected opportunity takes him to Ireland, Declan steps into a landscape shaped by story, memory, and myth, and begins a journey that quietly challenges everything he believes about identity and belonging.
Set between contemporary New York and Ireland, Declan Someone is a lyrical coming-of-age novella that blends modern literary fiction with subtle elements of Irish folklore. As Declan navigates new relationships, creative pressure, and unresolved questions from his past, myth becomes a gentle lens through which he begins to see himself differently.

WHAT AUTHORS SAY ABOUT PUBLISHING WITH US
“Having read extensively online that your first book is rarely published, I sent Blame off to the usual list of publishers one can find easily online with limited expectation. I still have my first email from Foreshore. Their enthusiasm for the book jumped out of the screen. As a new author, I had a ton of questions to ask before agreeing to publish my book. All my questions were welcomed and answered. As a relatively new company, I knew that they would be willing to do the work to bring the book to market, and in return expand their own place in the market. It felt like the perfect fit. A formatting error on the first run of Blame was quickly discovered and dealt with. I had full confidence in Foreshore that this would be resolved. I value the knowledge and experience they have. In many ways it is priceless. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing your book listed on bookshops websites. That would never have happened had I gone down the self-publishing route. I hope that Blame is just the start of our journey together.”
Edward Burley, author of Blame.
