GennaRose Nethercott recommends
The Naming Song (2024)
Jedediah Berry
"An anti-totalitarian, post-apocalyptic fable featuring mystical theater trains, impossible monsters, and the awesome power of story? Sign me the heck up. If we can rise against injustice even half as boldly as 'the courier' and her friends, there might just be hope for humanity yet. Jedediah Berry has delivered a true epic, thrumming with life."
Bunyan and Henry (2024)
Mark Cecil
"Cecil has quilted American folklore into a patchwork of courage, tenderness, and generosity of spirit. This is a book unafraid to stare the cruelties of this nation in the eye - and yet remains ever stitched-through with hope."
My Throat an Open Grave (2024)
Tori Bovalino
"Sweet as honey and brutal as a knife-Bovalino has crafted a parable of self-forgiveness and community power fearsome enough to drive men and gods, alike, to their knees. If only all vengeance could be so lush."
