New and upcoming books
Megan Bontrager recommends

Teddy Bears Never Die (2026)
Cho Yeeun
"Cho Yeeun's ability to balance sheer bloody wackiness with genuinely touching moments of friendship against all odds is absolutely singular."

Dark is When the Devil Comes (2026)
Daisy Pearce
"Pearce strikes the perfect balance between the unforgiving tightrope of tension and pacing that's so expected of a thriller, and the creeping, impermeable dread of the best horror."

The Night is Not For You (2025)
Eman Quotah
"Quotah's portrayal of a young girl grappling not only with herself, but with the true nature of the world - in and out of the murky light of human monstrosity - is painfully earnest, and one that feels both necessary and timely. She paints us a world that feels ripe for the taking, much like the flowers that make up Layla's perfumes, but also foreign and warped. This is a book that I will return to time and time again, particularly when the world feels vibrant and violent."
