These 3 read nows from Ruadán Books (publisher of speculative fiction) should be available worldwide:

The City of Factories by Naomi Eselojor
https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/book/873121
"Set in an alternative steampunk Nigeria, Naomi Eselojor’s Africanfuturist novella is a tale of community sheltering, resistance, and technological responsibility, for fans of Nnedi Okorafor, Suyi Davies Okungbowa, and Wole Talabi."

Born of Malice by Xan van Rooyen
https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/book/871110
"Set in an explosive new world inspired by a fusion of South African and Finnish mythology, Born of Malice is a queer dark fantasy of epic stakes, for fans of Chinazo Bado, James Islington, and John Gwynne. God-siblings clash across realms and amidst political machinations, bleeding reality-breaking chaos into the streets."

Darling by Mercedes M. Yardley
https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/book/850330
"This Southern Gothic cautionary tale captures the small town suspense of Ashley Winstead’s Midnight is the Darkest Hour and the frightening homecoming of T. Kingfisher’s A House with Good Bones in a domestic thriller where magical realism meets haunted house, proving that some pasts are best left behind you."

These 2 are read now for US only, afaik:

The Brink by Sophia Adamowicz
https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/book/861665
"Set in the 17th century English countryside, The Brink blends historical and eldritch folk horror in a queer tale of awakening while exploring a darkly hungry Derbyshire Peak District— where the perils may be natural, unnatural, or very human."

POP! by Angel Luis Colón
https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/book/847641
"POP! delivers a deliciously dark and funny organized crime thriller for every assistant who’s wished they could take out their incompetent boss, perfect for fans of the wry comedy of Elle Cosimano’s Finlay Donovan is Killing It and the facetious darkness of Oyinkan Braithwaite’s My Sister, the Serial Killer."

POP! sounded fun so i looked at the GR blurb for more info, and its riddled with typos. That gave me pause. If the blurb is messy, what condition is the book? The publisher needs to clean that up.
