Molly Gloss recommends
After World (2023)
Debbie Urbanski
"After World is a novel about what it means to be human, and the end (beginning?) of the world, in wildly original language that attempts the impossible and achieves it. Urbanski makes us aware: we are in a world of our own making, and the most efficient solution to climate change, poverty and world peace might be to eradicate humanity's bodily presence. It's a measure of her genius, that she sometimes makes us laugh, even about this, the Unthinkable. It's a funny, terrible, troubling, wonderfully disturbing novel. It took my breath away."
At What Cost, Silence (2023)
(Texian Trilogy, book 1)
Karen Lynne Klink
"At What Cost, Silence is a family saga that transforms the way we see the past, turning over little-known stones of history by focusing on the antebellum world of East Texas. This is both an epic novel spanning decades of history, culture and politics, and an intimate, passionate tale of love and morality, rooted deeply in the contradictions and complexities of its many characters. Klink has captured it all with great care and compassion and understanding."
The Houseboat (2022)
Dane Bahr
"The Houseboat will unsettle you, scare you, and break your heart. It's grimly authentic, bleak and beautiful. Its people wear the faces we see in our mirrors, and the ones we glimpse in our most terrifying dreams. It's a distinctly American gothic mystery--perfect reading for the Lovecraftian times we are living in."
