The Millicent Quibb School of Etiquette for Young Ladies of Mad Science (2024)
(Millicent Quibb School of Etiquette for Young Ladies of Mad Science, book 1)
Kate McKinnon
"An endlessly inventive smorgasbord of fun, Millicent Quibb reads like a collab between Edward Gorey and Kurt Vonnegut: hilarious, proudly strange, and slightly twisted, with real humanity and a ton of sweetness at its heart."

Hidden Pictures (2022)
Jason Rekulak
"Whip-smart, creepy as hell, and masterfully plotted, Hidden Pictures is the best new thriller I've read in years. Destined to be a classic of the genre."
