Charles Sumner: Conscience of a Nation
An exemplary volume, well-researched and well-written and suited for anyone interested in U.S. history, the Civil War, and American jurisprudence.
PREMIUM
The Accidental Favorite
A compelling drama about a dysfunctional family that will make readers laugh out loud and cringe all at once. While the side plots meander slightly, Littlewood’s (Amazing Grace Adams) sharp characters and emotional depth beautifully capture the messy and complicated side of adults’ relationships to their families of origin, quirks and all.
PREMIUM
How To Dodge a Cannonball
This is not the typical Civil War novel, but the dark humor and commentary on race, class, and the American experiment in the midst of its biggest test make for an entertaining, thought-provoking read.
PREMIUM
Bad Nature
Courage (editor at the literary magazine Agni) has created a compelling, nonstop reading experience that pulls readers relentlessly forward as Hester is slowly transformed. Written with dry humor, bilious sarcasm, and startlingly vivid imagery, this debut takes its place among American picaresque novels such as Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Jack Kerouac’s On the Road.
PREMIUM
The Hounding
Purvis is a skillful writer, creating a story that is part historical fiction, part feminist cautionary tale, and wholly engaging. Recommended for fans of Ottessa Moshfegh and Rachel Yoder.
What Will People Think?
Hamdan’s compelling debut will provoke thoughtful discussion and is recommended for readers who enjoyed James McBride’s The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store or Etaf Rum’s Evil Eye.

What It’s Like in Words
Obsessive love is at the heart of this compulsively readable debut novel, which should appeal to fans of Colleen Hoover.
Curdle Creek
Clearly inspired by Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery,” with a nod as well toward Kindred by Octavia Butler, this is a compelling and immersive story.
