LITTLE EVE by Catriona Ward
2 starred reviews and a LibraryReads Hall-of-Famer!
“Ward works in so many motifs—Bible resonances, colonialism, science versus faith, and the pall of war, to name just a few—that the play of imagery is as engrossing as the plot twists, making this a rewarding outing from any angle. Horror fans won’t want to miss this.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review
“While its ties to Jackson’s WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE are strong, this psychological horror gem will also appeal to fans of creepy, character-driven cult stories like MR. SPLITFOOT, by Samantha Hunt (2016) and original takes on the traditional gothic such as MEXICAN GOTHIC, by Silvia Moreno-Garcia (2020).”–Booklist, starred review
LUTE by Jennifer Thorne
“A very close exploration of grief, along with the ways it brings a community together and tears them apart, is the beating heart of the novel, palpable on every page.”–Booklist, starred review
THE HOLLOW KIND by Andy Davidson
“With similarities to Chuck Wendig’s THE BOOK OF ACCIDENTS (2021), shades of T. Kingfisher, and a dash of THE RUINS, by Scott Smith (2006), this is a Southern gothic epic that masterfully weaves elements of body, folk, and cosmic horror into something wholly new, terrifying, and utterly breathtaking.”–Booklist, starred review
WHERE BLACK STARS RISE by Nadia Shammas and Marie Enger
“In this inventive horror comic, Dr. Amal Robardin is a therapist in training whose first client, a schizophrenic New York City theatre scene blogger named Yasmin, has been experiencing increasingly intense nighttime visions of a figure looming in the dark beside her bed.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review
IF THIS BOOK EXISTS, YOU’RE IN THE WRONG UNIVERSE: A John, Dave, and Amy Novel by Jason Pargin
“Reintroducing readers to catchers of cosmic chaos Dave, John, and Amy, Pargin (ZOE PUNCHES THE FUTURE IN THE DICK) once again delights with scathing social commentary thinly disguised as an outrageous action novel.”–Publishers Weekly
