ONE OF BOOKPAGE'S 10 BEST SCI-FI, FANTASY & HORROR NOVELS OF 2024 • From the acclaimed author of A Cosmology of Monsters ("I loved it"—Stephen King) comes an epic contemporary fantasy, a mixture of The Magicians and It: a story of dark magic, terrible mistakes, and second chances.
"You can never go home again," the saying goes—but Hal, Athena, and Erin have to. In high school, the three were students of the eccentric Professor Marsh, trained in a secret system of magic known as the Dissonance, which is built around harnessing negative emotions: alienation, anger, pain. Then, twenty years ago, something happened that shattered their coven, scattering them across the country, stuck in mundane lives, alone.
But now, terrifying signs and portents (not to mention a pointed Facebook invite) have summoned them back to Clegg, Texas. There, their paths will collide with that of Owen, a closeted teenager from Alabama whose aborted cemetery seance with his crush summoned something far worse: a murderous entity whose desperate, driving purpose includes kidnapping Owen to serve as its Renfield. As Owen tries to outwit his new master, and Hal, Athena, and Erin reckon with how the choices they made as teens might connect to the apocalyptic event unfurling over the Lone Star State, shocking alliances form, old and new romances brew, and three unsuccessful adults and one frightened teen are all that stand between reality and oblivion.
From one of the boldest, most brilliant voices in modern fantastical horror, The Dissonance is a thrilling and beautifully written story of magic and monsters, forgiveness and friendship.

MOST ANTICIPATED: PASTE • GIZMODO • DEEP SOUTH MAGAZINE • LONE STAR LITERARY LIFE
“Stunning. . . . There is an honest grit to Hamill’s writing that makes it perfect for the 2020s. Like fellow Texan Stephen Graham Jones, Hamill has a love of the decrepit side of small-town life where drug addiction, poverty and small-minded cruelty offer their own spin on fantasy and Gothic tropes. . . . The Dissonance is a remarkable follow-up to one of the best horror debuts in recent memory.”—Jef Rouner, Dallas Observer
“Shaun Hamill has solidified himself as a master of literary horror, of works that satisfy the spooky requirements of the weird tale while simultaneously providing the grounded pleasures of literary fiction.”—Roberto Ontiveros, The Dallas Morning News
“One of the most ambitious genre books of the year, and we’d expect nothing less from Hamill.”—Matthew Jackson, Paste

Historia
In a different life, under a different name, Razia Khan was raised to be the crown prince of Nizam, the most powerful kingdom in Daryastan. Born with the soul of a woman, she ran away at a young age to escape her father’s hatred and live life true to herself. Among the hijras of Bikampur, Razia finds sisterhood and discovers a new purpose in life. By day she’s one of her dera’s finest dancers and by night its most profitable thief. But when her latest target leads her to cross paths with Arjun Agnivansha, prince of Bikampur, it is she who has something stolen.

My transformation from a poor, orphaned scullery maid into the enchantingly mysterious lady who snagged the heart of the prince did not happen—as the rumors insisted—in a magical metamorphosis of pumpkins and glass slippers. On the first evening of the ball, I didn’t meekly help my “evil” stepmother and stepsisters primp and preen or watch forlornly out the window as their carriage rolled off toward the palace. I had other preparations to make.

A shadow has fallen over the Tressian Republic. Ruling families - once protectors of justice and democracy - now plot against one another with sharp words and sharper knives. Blinded by ambition, they remain heedless of the threat posed by the invading armies of the Hadari Empire. Yet as Tressia falls, heroes rise. As war spreads across the Republic, three must set aside their differences in order to save their home. Yet decades of bad blood are not easily set aside.

When Russ Wesley finds an unusual artifact in his grandfather’s collection of rare antiquities, the last thing he expects is for it to draw the attention of a ferocious alien from a distant planet. Equally surprising is the adventurous team of intergalactic exterminators dispatched to deal with the alien threat. They’re a little wild, and a little reckless. Worse yet, they’re so impressed with Russ’s marksmanship that they insist he join their squad . . . whether he wants to or not.

In The Dissonance a group of school friends discover a secret about the world. As their relationships grow - and you become invested in their hopes, dreams, flaws, and regrets - a world is built around them that is filled with thrilling new ideas and wholly relatable relationships.
It's best not to know too much going in and to allow the world (or perhaps multiple worlds?) to take shape as you enjoy the ride.
In just two novels, Hamill has become one of my favorite authors. The Lovecraftian touch that permeates his work is right up my alley, and his prose is HIGHLY readable and often surprising and delightful.
Run, don't walk. Read The Dissonance. I'd say take a time machine back to its release date so you won't feel like you've been missing out, but time travel is STRICTLY forbidden.
