Kat Dunn recommends

Crescendo (2026)
Jane Healey
"A heady and intoxicating tale of rivalry and obsession, talent and envy, desire and destruction - Crescendo set me ablaze."

Cleopatra (2026)
Saara El-Arifi
"Vividly realized and skillfully unraveled, El-Arifi's Cleopatra is as insightful as it is engrossing. It brings Aa sorely needed new light."

My Throat an Open Grave (2024)
Tori Bovalino
"Raw, brutal and heartbreaking in turn, Bovalino masterfully weaves deliciously sinister horror with unflinching, complex themes. I am in awe."
