Camera Lake (2024)
Alex Pickett
"It's not often I devour an entire book of stories in one night, but I couldn't get enough of these. Camera Lake is the rare collection that is both hilarious and heartfelt, both literary and approachable. The reason for this is simple: Pickett truly loves his characters--their quirks, their loneliness, their smiles--and this makes all the difference. In a world full of depressing headlines, these stories made me happy. This is stellar stuff. A debut worth calling your friends about!"

Pelican Girls (2024)
Julia Malye
"To enter Julia Malye's work is to be completely transported. Every detail in your vision, touch of fabric against your skin, pulse of blood through your veins, is rendered so lush and evocative that reading this novel feels like absorbing a lifetime of experience. The rare page-turner that both entertains and enlightens, Pelican Girls is an undeniable achievement of research, storytelling, and human compassion. One of the best historical novels you will ever come across; this book is an absolute gift."

Oleander City (2022)
Matt Bondurant
"Bondurant's Oleander City is the best kind of historical novel. Richly imagined, exquisitely written, this tale of disaster and perseverance is both visceral and urgent. The intertwined tales of Galveston mud and spilled blood, like the dizzying combinations of the book's bare-fisted boxers, make this novel a knockout."
