DARK CORNERS by Megan Goldin
9781250280688 | 8/8/23

“THE NIGHT SWIM was quite a good novel, but this one is more complex, more frightening. Goldin keeps readers on their toes, offering tantalizing clues to what’s really going on but keeping the truth a closely-guarded secret until it’s time to reveal it. A third Rachel Krall novel would be most welcome.”–Booklist

LOOKING GLASS SOUND by Catriona Ward
9781250860026 | 8/8/23

“A tale dripping with existential dread, one that asks readers to contemplate how they tell their own stories.”–Booklist, starred review

“This is a book about a book, inside a book—an intricate plot with changing perspectives. Reading it is like walking through a maze of wrong turns and misdirection.”–Library Journal, starred review

THORNHEDGE by T. Kingfisher
9781250244093 | 8/15/23

“Kingfisher’s trademark wit and compassion transforms ‘Sleeping Beauty’ into a moving meditation on guilt, grief, and duty, as well as a surprisingly sweet romance between outsiders. There are no false notes here.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review

“This marvelously fractured fairy tale takes a well-known and well-loved story and turns it completely around, into a story about love not being enough, duty not being sufficient, and love and joy being found in the unlikeliest of people and places.”–Library Journal, starred review
