River of Ashes (2022)
(St. Benedict, book 1)
Lucas Astor and Alexandrea Weis
"Holy snap, this was BRUTAL in the best of ways! River of Ashes turns a fearless, unwavering gaze on brutal high school jungle culture. I had to unclench my fists at the end of it. Brava."
thumb
A Variable Darkness (2021)
John McIlveen
"John McIlveen's A Variable Darkness is a breathtaking collection. Its stories run the gamut from wise, lushly written prose to modern, witty tales. Each story dives beneath the surface and contains fathoms. I thought about 'Nobody's Daughter' for days."

We Are Monsters (2015)
(Fiction Without Frontiers)
Brian Kirk
"A smart, elaborate novel that weaves together the best and worst of us. Complex, terrifying, and still humane, this book moved me to both horror and compassion, and that’s a difficult thing indeed."
