Kathe Koja recommends

Coup De Grace (2024)
Sofia Ajram
"The decision, the ride, the beautiful stranger, the end you always knew would find you - Sofia Ajram's Coup de Grace is wholly original and totally, despairingly, passionately alive."

Shoot the Moon (2023)
Isa Arsén
"In prose precise as a lucid dream, Isa Arsen leads us through the empty spaces of the atmosphere and the heart, and offers a loving geometry of the ways we find our place in both."

We Can Never Leave This Place (2022)
Eric LaRocca
"We Can Never Leave This Place is a bleak and tender, monstrous and visceral fable of family and loss, and the courage it takes to confront them both."
