Alan Heathcock recommends
Stag (2024)
Dane Bahr
"Dane Bahr writes with the story savvy of James Lee Burke, strange but elegant characters not unlike those of Flannery O'Connor, and the prose potency of Cormac McCarthy. Under the fire of his pen, the northwest Washington represented in his brilliant novel Stag burns with mystery and shadow and crackles with indelible life. I'm a huge fan."
Folk Songs for Trauma Surgeons (2021)
Keith Rosson
"There's a fierceness to Rosson's intellect, a wildness to his imagination, a crackling energy in his prose. The stories in Folk Songs for Trauma Surgeons are often strange and sometimes funny and always irresistible. Like a brakeless train tearing through the tunnel of my mind, the propulsion and potency of this collection woke me up in the way only the best literature can."
