The Volcano Daughters (2024)
Gina María Balibrera
"My mind and heart were blown open by Gina Maria Balibrera's astonishing debut. The Volcano Daughters is a work of fierce ambition and blazing emotion, narrated by an unforgettable chorus of ghosts who trace the story of their friends, sisters Graciela and Consuelo, through a journey that spans continents and generations. As the chorus says: 'The word makes the world,' and with this novel, her first, Balibrera has done nothing less. Her invocation of the voices of a group of women whose lives were distorted and cut short by El Salvador's violent dictator El Gran Pendejo left me breathless - and is one of the most powerful stories of motherhood, sisterhood, and survival I've ever read. A colossal achievement."

Mystery Lights (2024)
Lena Valencia
"I've loved Lena Valencia's brilliant, beguiling stories for years and read her debut collection in a single breathless evening. These are stories with teeth, both chilling and bold, about the strength and vulnerability of women and girls. Full of surprising turns, Mystery Lights reminded me of the incredible power of short fiction to speak the truth."

Old Enough (2023)
Haley Jakobson
"Haley Jakobson's Old Enough evokes the stormy early years of college with such tenderness and honesty I was transported right back to campus. This pitch-perfect story about queer coming-of-age is brilliantly observed, wildly funny, and full of insights into the way the past can snake through the present - no matter how hard we try to escape. I loved every word and can't wait for what Jakobson writes next."
