A Good Happy Girl (2024)
Marissa Higgins
"Sometimes I could not believe how easily this book moved from gross-out sadism into genuine sympathy. Totally surprising, totally compelling. I loved it."

Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind (2023)
Molly McGhee
"In the light of this insightfully nightmarish parable of the pervasive ravages of debt, Abernathy's optimism, and the serene pace of McGhee's prose, are stone cold chilling."
thumb
Ripe (2023)
Sarah Rose Etter
"Sarah Rose Etter's Ripe has the most exquisitely described dread I've read in ages. I couldn't put this book down. Totally haunting and propulsive."
