Melissa Broder recommends

Kill Dick (2026)
Luke Goebel
"For lovers of Bret Easton Ellis, Luke Goebel's KILL DICK renders a pop-infused and murderous portrait of an iconic Los Angeles on fire complete with pools, pills, ennui, murders, and a cacophony of brands. But this novel has a timely pulse, and Goebel--with his gorgeous sentences and imagistic prowess--pulls off one of the hardest tricks of all: making morality fun."

Open Throat (2023)
Henry Hoke
"Open Throat is an instant cult classic and a bloody masterpiece: rhythmically brilliant, heart-wounding, and scathingly funny. I'm in love with a mountain lion and in awe of this book."
