Dad Had a Bad Day (2026)
Ashton Politanoff
"This book is a triumph. Dripping in masculinity and self pity, Ned, college tennis star of yore, is thrillingly unhinged and now mooching off his hard-working, capable, professionally employed wife while he spirals in and out of old beefs and a renewed pursuit of on-court glory. Impeccably, propulsively, and hilariously rendered, Politanoff writes about tennis like Barry Hannah wrote about alcohol--something swift, addictive, fun, life-giving and also totally filthy. I gulped this book whole in a single sitting. Nobody writes like Ashton Politanoff."
Sky Daddy (2025)
Kate Folk
"This book is a dog whistle for the true freaks - never have I felt so seen! I loved it."
Misinterpretation (2024)
Ledia Xhoga
"A heart-stopping, emotional thriller . . . Violence hovers in the book's borders. I loved it."
