The May 2023 Indie Next List includes FOUR Macmillan titles!

IN THE LIVES OF PUPPETS BY TJ KLUNE
9781250217448 | 4/25/23

“Readers who loved Klune’s (UNDER THE WHISPERING DOOR) previous works will find plenty of the author’s trademark charm, heart, and bittersweetness, while those looking for more hopeful robot stories, like A PSALM FOR THE WILD-BUILT by Becky Chambers, will find this interpretation of a robot-future different but just as compelling.”–Library Journal, starred review

IF WE’RE BEING HONEST BY CAT SHOOK
9781250847546 | 4/18/23

“Like a stone skipped across water, Shook flits seamlessly from one character to the next, and remarkably, all emerge as three-dimensional characters. Even with its many strands of plot, the novel never feels rushed, and Shook sprinkles some wild surprises into the goings-on. Readers will find plenty to savor.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review

THE SALT GROWS HEAVY BY CASSANDRA KHAW
9781250830913 | 5/2/23

“Khaw’s prose is rich and gorgeous…and the surprising tenderness at the story’s heart is only magnified by the violence and gore that surround it. Both elements prove devastatingly effective in constructing a folklore-infused world that feels wholly unique for contemporary horror fiction. Expertly blending a gothic atmosphere with elements of splatterpunk, this brilliant novella is not to be missed.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review

NO TWO PERSONS BY ERICA BAUERMEISTER
9781250284372 | 5/2/23

“Bauermeister…pens a love letter to novels, imagining the far reach and deep hold of the stories we carry with us… [Her] latest inspiring and introspective novel offers a peek inside the world of publishing, but more importantly, it explores what happens after a long-held dream is achieved.”–Booklist
