Ink Blood Sister Scribe (2023)
Emma Törzs
"Ink Blood Sister Scribe is itself a magical book, brimming with all the elements that make a story sing ... What a gorgeously satisfying read."

Vagabonds! (2022)
Eloghosa Osunde
"A feast of a book, a marvelous ode to spirits and outsiders that is irreverent (and painfully funny) while being serious enough to drill a hole in one's chest. There is nothing in the world like this book."

I Hold a Wolf by the Ears (2020)
Laura van den Berg
"Unflinching, chilling and electric, with flashes of sly wit, these stories and the women who complicate them blaze a new literary trail, guided by the author's skilled hand. What Laura van den Berg has done with this collection is extraordinary."
