Thomas Mullen recommends

Big Time (2024)
Ben H Winters
"An exciting, thought-provoking, time-bending, and ultimately mind-blowing tale filled with the wonder, whimsy, and weirdness that make Ben H. Winters one of our most imaginative voices."
thumb
The Only Child (2020)
Mi-Ae Seo
"This is one creepy book. Come for the serial killers, criminal profilers and spooky children, stay for the twisting character studies and insight into domestic trauma. But check all the locks first."
thumb
Nothing More Dangerous (2019)
(Max Rupert and Joe Talbert)
Allen Eskens
"Both heartwarming and hard-nosed, Nothing More Dangerous is a coming-of-age page-turner that probes the dark heart of small towns and the resilient strength that keeps families together."
