Among the books that caught my eye were the following two titles (nothing else really caught my imagination this month):

Fantasy novel set in a mansion, Aislinn House, on the outskirts of the seaside town Sealey Head, in which the ancient Lady Eglantyne lies dying.
• The publisher’s site has a brief description, and a Q&A with McKillip
