Megan Abbott recommends

Don't Let the Devil Ride (2024)
Ace Atkins
"An ebullient, rollicking ride you don’t dare miss."
thumb
Lost Man's Lane (2024)
Scott Carson
"With LOST MAN'S LANE, Scott Carson fuses a gothic spellbinder steeped in old-American lore with the piercing ache of a coming-of-age story, bittersweet and filled with longing. With echoes of Ray Bradbury and Peter Straub, it's a dazzling, genuinely terrifying novel that hovers darkly in your head long after you finish."
thumb
Great Expectations (2024)
Vinson Cunningham
"Recent history becomes both thrillingly vivid and achingly past in Vinson Cunningham's spellbinding debut novel, Great Expectations. A coming-of-age novel of the richest, most expansive kind, it's a rare debut, one that feels both intimate and revelatory."
