Katya Apekina recommends
The Bog Wife (2024)
Kay Chronister
"Five siblings in their decrepit ancestral home, raised to believe outlandish things, some of which might be true, must navigate a new way of existing in the world. It's got everything: Gothic eco-horror, plant consciousness, an emotionally distant bog-woman mom, a lying tyrannical father, siblings pulled between twin desires of wanting to individuate and to be part of something larger than themselves. Soulful, suspenseful, expansive and emotionally complicated. I couldn't put this book down, and I'm sure that it will haunt me."
Alligator and Other Stories (2020)
Dima Alzayat
"Alzayat’s compassion for her characters runs deep in this book. I especially can’t stop thinking about the title story - an original, heartbreaking and hypnotic collage."
