Kelly Braffet recommends
Sidle Creek (2023)
Jolene McIlwain
"The stories in Jolene McIlwain's Sidle Creek are dark and painful, atmospheric and heartbreakingly honest. Filled with characters struggling to survive in a setting as alive and rich as any I've seen, these stories are hard to read and harder to put down. I loved it!"
Ordinary Monsters (2022)
(Talents , book 1)
J M Miro
"Ordinary Monsters is one of my favorite books of the year?it's full of surprises, atmospheric as hell, and moves like a runaway train. Nothing in this book is what you expect it to be and it couldn't be more satisfying."
Baby Teeth (2018)
Zoje Stage
"Baby Teeth is deeply unsettling in the best possible way. Absolutely unforgettable and unflinching, it digs right into the painful nerve of family, obligation and dependence--it's a hell of a debut"
