NEW BOOKS AT SANITY

Fresh on the shelf this week

This week’s new arrivals have a seriously sharp mix — music culture, internet outrage, honest parenting and a dark Australian crime debut with a supernatural edge.

Here are a few of the releases that genuinely stood out to us this week.

The Beautiful Death Of Ozzy Osbourne - Keith Kahn-Harris

This one immediately stood out for anyone fascinated by music, legacy and the way heavy metal has shaped culture far beyond the stage. With Ozzy in the title, it has that instant pull for rock fans — but the angle feels more reflective than a standard music biography.

A striking pick for readers who like their music books a little deeper, darker and more thought-provoking.

Angertainment - Ed Coper

Bright yellow cover, bold title, very current subject matter — this is the kind of book that makes you stop scrolling. Angertainment looks at the outrage cycle and how social media keeps us watching, reacting and arguing.

A smart pick for readers who enjoy sharp cultural commentary and books that explain why the internet feels the way it does.

Little F*ckers - Ryan Martin

Parenting books can sometimes feel a bit too polished, which is exactly why this one caught our attention. Little F*ckers has the kind of title that feels instantly honest, especially for anyone in the thick of raising cranky, chaotic, hilarious little humans.

It feels like a relatable, no-filter read for parents who love their kids deeply — but also understand the comedy of absolute exhaustion.

Devil Mountain - Inessa Jackson

This Australian crime debut has exactly the kind of premise that makes you want to keep reading: a small-town murder, a detective with something to prove and a case that starts to feel stranger the deeper it goes.

With police procedural tension and a hint of the supernatural, Devil Mountain feels like a strong pick for readers who like their crime fiction atmospheric, eerie and hard to put down.
