Freakslaw (2024)
Jane Flett
"Holy hell, I loved this book. A carnivalesque tale spun in luscious, crackling prose, Freakslaw is the glittery punk offspring of Katherine Dunn's Geek Love and Angela Carter's Nights at the Circus. You know those books you want to roll around in, rub on your skin, and clasp to your heart? Freakslaw is one, and I can't wait to see what Jane Flett does next."
Man's Best Friend (2024)
Alana B Lytle
"Man's Best Friend is a discomfiting, elegant slow-burn that's deliciously feral. It's a wild ride to watch the novel's 20-something protagonist, El, find herself in the most unlikely of places. Fans of fiction featuring morally dubious characters, fractious female relationships, and unsettling love interests will love this darkly beautiful debut from Alana B. Lytle."
The Centre (2023)
Ayesha Manazir Siddiqi
"The Centre is a banger! I don't know how Ayesha Manazir Siddiqi managed to write a book that feels both cheery and terrifying, but The Centre draws you in with a gentle hand until it throws the mallet down in the last thirty pages. A terrific meditation on language, diaspora, alienation, and culture, The Centre will stay with you long after you read its last, luscious, loopy sentence."
