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.

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.

The Book of George

Greathead’s (Laura & Emma) latest, which follows the title character from childhood to middle age, is a warm-hearted and gently humorous examination of a chronic failure. Left open to question is what happens to George next? Sequel?

A Pair of Wings

An excellent choice for historical fiction enthusiasts, especially those interested in Black history and aviation.

The Fox Wife

Highly recommended for readers of fantasy mysteries, fans of Elsa Hart’s Jade Dragon Mountain, and anyone who enjoys stories of unreliable narrators where magic is hidden in plain sight. Choo’s (The Night Tiger) latest is magical, lyrical, and utterly compelling.
