Julianna Baggott recommends
Oleander City (2022)
Matt Bondurant
"In Oleander City, Bondurant reminds us of the horrors of our humanity but amid it all, that there are those who fight for goodness, for love and truth, that we are brutal but also beautiful brutes. This is a brilliant novel."
You Want More (2020)
George Singleton
"Over his career, George Singleton has written unruly characters living unruly lives. His depictions of the American South - in particular the everyday tumult of white blue-collar men and women struggling to come to terms with this strange and chaotic world - are both tragic and comic, heartbreaking, surreal, and - when least expected - weirdly ebullient. Singleton is a brilliant storyteller; his vision is crystal clear and wonderfully warped."
Five Midnights (2019)
(Five Midnights, book 1)
Ann Dávila Cardinal
"Between the threat of an enigmatic monster and an escalating murder mystery, Five Midnights is a novel that kept me up late. As much as it is a frightening, fast-paced thriller, it's also a love story. Lupe and Javier are characters I rooted for, at every dark twist and chilling turn."
