Florenzer (2025)
Phil Melanson
"Phil Melanson's gorgeous debut is a closely observed historical epic that captures the dawn of the modern era with the swaggering command of an old master. His characters are no dusty figures out of textbooks, either, but flesh-and-blood individuals who are equal parts delicate, calculating, and damaged."

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."
