The Girl with a Thousand Faces (2026)
Sunyi Dean
"The Girl with a Thousand Faces will tear out your heart and heal it in the same breath. Sunyi Dean's hauntingly unique ghost story refuses to be pinned down. Combining the very real horrors of Hong Kong's occupation with one family's female rage and trauma, the story twists and turns with as many faces as the eponymous girl herself."
thumb
Aicha (2026)
Soraya Bouazzaoui
"Aicha is a sharpened blade, swinging between the celebration of love in all its forms and unbridled anger. A ferocious debut."

The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox (2026)
Katrina Kwan
"A fast-paced and thoroughly satisfying meal of a book! Come for the joyful nods to folktales, stay for the grumpy misfits taking bites out of each other. Ferocious and heartfelt."
