Lay Your Armor Down (2025)
Michael Farris Smith
"Lay Your Armor Down is a prophetic, propulsive tale that is sure to leave its lasting mark on the Southern gothic cannon. Smith is at his best in these pages, his signature prose rendering a work as dark and beautiful as a summer storm. This novel is a masterclass in storytelling, with characters that are uniquely unforgettable, and an ending that's well worth the journey."

What He Left Behind (2025)
Benjamin Bradley
"This whodunnit expertly weaves the dangerous secrets of past and present in small-town Appalachia, delivering a jaw-dropping conclusion that's well worth your time. Bradley has the goods, and I can't wait to see what he cooks up next."

Fadeaway Joe (2023)
Hugh Lessig
"Hugh Lessig's novel, Fadeaway Joe, is a lean, clever debut that has all the elements of a great crime novel: murder, betrayal, and revenge - but that's not all. The dynamic between the unlikely protagonist, bouncer-turned-food-truck-operator, Joe Pendergrast, and the feisty, mohawk-rocking Paula Jessup, give the reader a duo that's worth pulling for. This novel will leave you stunned and wanting more."
