Peter Kispert recommends
Deadlands (2023)
Victoria Miluch
"Deadlands is a profound and exquisitely written debut, a fresh exploration of how we are changed by the truths we unearth. Just as our narrator Georgia thinks of the arid landscape, the novel 'shines with a newness, a dangerous edge of possibility, sharp as a whetted knife.' Miluch is an extraordinary new talent."
A Manual for How to Love Us (2023)
Erin Slaughter
"This deeply imagined, brilliantly ferocious debut collection sits perfectly among the fiction of Danielle Lazarin and Kelly Link. A Manual for How to Love Us lays bare the power and wildness of grief. It is unequivocally one of the best debut collections I've read in years."
So Happy for You (2022)
Celia Laskey
"Magnificent. In So Happy for You, Celia Laskey has masterfully crafted the tense, messy, big-hearted, and deeply original queer love story we didn't know we've been waiting for, as much full of human characters as incisive social commentary. I can't wait to see what Laskey gives us next."
