James Sallis recommends
Hard Girls (2024)
(Jane and Lila Pool, book 1)
J Robert Lennon
"We build our world from the materials available, those given and allowed us. In Hard Girls, J. Robert Lennon has a brilliant, seemingly effortless way of sorting through the lumber, bent nails, staples, glue, and salvage that make up our lives."
Broken Sword (2023)
(Tijuana Noir)
Mark Rogers
"MArk Rogers knows that the stylish polished picture frame in which we live is riddled with holes in which worms live."
Jackdaw (2022)
Tade Thompson
"Like Joyce's Nighttown sequence, Jackdaw dwells timelessly along some ever-undefined border between dreams, the actual, the creatively imagined, and hard-edged hallucination. It is brutal, unremitting and, very much in its own steadfast manner, brilliant."
