Straw Dogs of the Universe (2023)
Ye Chun
"A visceral and poetic work of art - Ye Chun's grasp of our shared history, of her unforgettable characters, and of the vast sweep of this narrative can only be marveled at: who else could tell us the story of Chinese settlement in California as if it were an adventure tale filtered through the lens of Thomas Hardy? That the writing here is so insightful, so clear and vibrant and heartbreaking, is a testament to the overwhelming talent of one of our finest authors."

Fever House (2023)
(Fever House Duology, book 1)
Keith Rosson
"Rosson has melded the perfect mix of gritty horror, shadowy noir, and literary gusto into the most metal novel of all time."
thumb
Paper Names (2023)
Susie Luo
"Paper Names is a sharp and honest look at family, immigration, and all that we trade away to find ourselves - but it is also a literary page-turner that is as unsettling as it is full of grace. Susie Luo's debut is unblinking, nimble, and written with the kind of clarity one expects from a seasoned author. The word stunning is not hyperbole here."
