What the Woods Took (2024)
Courtney Gould
"Weaves a fierce, prickly love story through the heart of a bone-chilling horror."
The Absinthe Underground (2024)
Jamie Pacton
"An enchanting romantasy brimming with glittering, intoxicating prose and wild Fae magic. These quick-handed thieves will steal your heart from your first meeting, and their escapades will keep it racing until the last page."
Direwood (2022)
Catherine Yu
"A blood-damp, butterfly-riddled fever dream, Direwood is both swoon- and shudder-worthy. What starts as a patter of fear turns into a torrential onslaught of dread as this surreal story beckons you down into its depths where something terrifying lurks in wait."
