Rejection (2024)
Tony Tulathimutte
"The stories in Rejection ring with audacity like a siren. The characters within are deliriously shocking, toxic, transgressive, but due to Tulathimutte's extraordinary talents, the most frightening moments in the collection - those which make this book feel truly dangerous - are those of empathy. It's this vertiginous event, feeling like I'm leering on from behind the safety of a glass wall, savoring the thrill of moving in for a far closer peek than I'd ever dare in the wild, then suddenly realizing I'm the one behind the glass, a complicit specimen who's just been collected via the author's mastery that will have me reading and rereading this book until I die or can no longer stand it. Tulathimutte is peerless."
Whalefall (2023)
Daniel Kraus
"A masterpiece. I haven't felt so alive reading a book in a long, long time."
Invitation to a Bonfire (2018)
Adrienne Celt
"Engrossing, endearing, phenomenal - this book will set you on fire. In this brilliant novel, Adrienne Celt's lush prose and mousetrap plot deliver a wild wonder."
