Billy And Girl by Deborah Levy (Bloomsbury, £7.99)
Levy's recent Booker short-listing has allowed for the release of her backlist, and the re-publication of this short novel from 1996. It's a slightly surreal but oddly appropriate tale of the eponymous siblings who have to fend for themselves in a Tim Burton-esque England after their father commits suicide and their mother vanishes.
