Nathan Ripley recommends
My Favorite Scar (2024)
Nicolás Ferraro
"In My Favorite Scar, fifteen-year-old Ambar's father forces her into a revenge spree that exists at a nexus of noir and coming-of-age, with Ambar facing truths about the world and her family that she may never embrace, but knows she has to live with. I truly enjoyed this - it had the real noir feel of a Black Lizard discovery, or one of Massimo Carlotto's best books."
Down by the Water (2021)
Elle Connel
"A psychological thriller with both depth and drive, Down By The Water is a gripping mystery."
A Dark and Secret Place (2021)
Jen Williams
"Intense and with a seam of gallows humour, Dog Rose Dirt is terrifying, fun, and insightful."
