Chlorine (2023)
Jade Song
"Ren Yu is a fierce young woman who's dreamed of mermaids ever since she can remember - dreams so vivid that the first touch of water in a swimming pool alters her life forever, sending her down a path that's both beautiful and frightening. Chlorine isn't just a coming of age story. It's the tale of transformation from human to something wilder and more transcendent. It's about love and longing and the willingness to do anything to become who you truly are."
thumb
The Spite House (2023)
Johnny Compton
"In The Spite House, Johnny Compton introduces us to a family with secrets and a house as mean and hungry as any in horror. The book is a work of great imagination and humanity, showing both love and terror in a world as real as the dust in the attic of a terrible old house."

Number One Fan (2022)
Meg Elison
"Number One Fan is a tense ride from the start as we're introduced to one of the most deeply unsettling villains I've encountered in a long time. It's about fighting for who and what you are when it would be easier to simply give up and be someone else's idea of you. It's about pain and resilience and redemption. In short, it's terrific."
