Ann Dávila Cardinal recommends
The Man of Wind and Moss (2026)
Alex Gonzalez
"It took 25 years to enjoy the woods again after The Blair Witch Project, now comes The Man of Wind and Moss to drive me back out again. Alex Gonzalez has created a smart and truly scary work of folk horror, added a heaping dose of Southern Gothic, and threw in just a dash of Sazon and Puerto Rican seasoning. A modern, dark and powerful story that is sure to haunt you well after you put it down."
She Waits Where Shadows Gather (2026)
Michelle Tang
"This novel is a beautiful and haunted tapestry of culture, secrets, and the importance of family. It demonstrates how generational trauma can reach beyond time, countries, even death, and how dragging secrets out from the shadows and into the light can heal. As gorgeous and richly layered as a sans rival cake, it's a 2026 debut you shouldn't miss."
Salt Bones (2025)
Jennifer Givhan
"A beautifully woven tale of three strong women and the family ties that support, and those that strangle. Rooted in myth, this emotionally powerful magical realist mystery has an atmosphere so thick and richly drawn you'd swear you can taste the grit of dust on your tongue. Masterful."
