Meg Elison recommends

Escape Velocity (2024)
Victor Manibo
"Manibo is that rare writer who can put a reader out among the stars but keep the focus on human trauma and scandal. . . . Scintillating."

Someone You Can Build a Nest In (2024)
John Wiswell
"Someone You Can Build a Nest In is the future of fantasy: a fairy tale with boundaries, an imaginative world created in the shape of collective values rather than the boring old id, a portal to a place you've really never seen before instead of just a princess in a different outfit. This novel is going to change the entire genre."

The Butcher of the Forest (2024)
Premee Mohamed
"Nothing in nature matches the uncannily sweet murdermirth of Premee Mohamed. She will show you yearning in a scrap of cheese or the whole world in the rules of a game. This book is bigger inside than out... by a large margin."
