Fruiting Bodies (2022)
Kathryn Harlan
"These excellent stories are insightful, transporting, and gloriously uncanny. In story after story, Fruiting Bodies uncovers knowledge that is tantalizing and terrible."
Leda and the Swan (2021)
Anna Caritj
"Tense and terrifying and beautifully-observed, Anna Caritj's accomplished debut is a propulsive journey into the dark heart of undergraduate life. Leda and the Swan is both a thriller and a gorgeously crafted exploration of loss, grief, and the painful, dangerous work of finding oneself. An exhilarating novel!"
