Cynthia Pelayo recommends

Wake Up and Open Your Eyes (2025)
Clay McLeod Chapman
"This is social horror at its most compelling."
thumb
Coup De Grace (2024)
Sofia Ajram
"An ever-expanding labyrinthine nightmare. A maze of memory. A kaleidoscope of caverns and chambers, peering deep into our movements of wake and sleep, guilt and regret and purpose. Coup de Grace is one of the most unique, yet terrifying stories I have ever read, a terror so infinite I feel completely changed having read it."
thumb
All the Hearts You Eat (2024)
Hailey Piper
"All the Hearts You Eat is a secret spell, a starless sky, the chambers of a heart and the depths of sorrow. Hailey Piper grips us in this gorgeous yet tragic death poem and life poem, in which we're struck with the utter heartbreak of how when we are starved of friendship, love, and care we are turned into a monster. As beautiful as the sea and as unsettling as its destructive waves."
