Erika T Wurth recommends

When the Wolf Comes Home (2025)
Nat Cassidy
"Nat Cassidy's When the Wolf Comes Home isn't just about the monsters that live under your bed, it's about the monsters that live in your heart. It's a killer."

Big Chief (2025)
Jon Hickey
"Big Chief is bursting with tribal politics, old family entanglements, and is simply put, one hell of a story. For fans of Erdrich, you can't go wrong."

The Memory Ward (2025)
Jon Bassoff
"Bassoff's Memory Ward is one of those rare jewels: a page-turner that's conceptually spectacular. If The Truman Show and The Crying of Lot 49 had an incredibly weird, wonderful baby, The Memory Ward would be it. Couldn't put it down."

Listen to Your Sister (2025)
Neena Viel
"If you're looking for a smart, contemporary take on the classic cabin in the woods horror novel, look no further than Listen To Your Sister."

So Thirsty (2024)
Rachel Harrison
"You've never read a vampire novel like this. So Thirsty is wonderfully funny and tender and there are lines that knocked me flat out. There's a reason Harrison's work is becoming part of the new horror canon: she's a knockout talent."

A Mask of Flies (2024)
Matthew Lyons
"A wild, heartrending ride."

The Deading (2024)
Nicholas Belardes
"A lyrical meditation on nature and mortality."

Indian Burial Ground (2024)
Nick Medina
"An intense family drama set on the (fictional) Rez where the threat of the mysterious Takoda Vampire makes for a gripping--and creepy!--read. Nick Medina is an Indigenous writer to watch."

The Circle (2023)
Katherena Vermette
"Like Orange's There There, The Circle is a polyphonic masterpiece. Brutal at turns, and tender at others, it's about the tremendous impact one person can have on an entire community."

Frost Bite (2023)
(Frost Bite, book 1)
Angela Sylvaine
"Frost Bite is propulsive, wonderfully weird and joyously nostalgic. Loved this coming of age, speculative novel!"

What Kind of Mother (2023)
Clay McLeod Chapman
"I'm not sure how Clay McLeod Chapman manages to be both tremendously tender and brilliantly hideous in What Kind of Mother, but he does--in this strange, poetic, and gut-wrenching portrait of parenthood."

Night's Edge (2023)
(Night's Edge , book 1)
Liz Kerin
"Night's Edge is about vampires, yes. But it's also about the kind of love we have for our mothers that pulls us apart, that makes us who we are, and the way in which we have to find our own path eventually, no matter how difficult-and potentially beautiful-that path might be. This one's a killer."

What's Coming to Me (2022)
Francesca Padilla
"Minerva is all of us. If all of us were smart, cynical, hurt but brilliant young women working for just a little bit of dignity and a little bit of joy in the midst of so much turmoil. I can't imagine a reader who wouldn't fall head over heels for Minerva. Get ready for a journey."
