There Used to Be People Here (2026)
Kennedy Cole
"An exciting new voice in speculative fiction, Kennedy Cole's There Used to Be People Here is for anyone who knows what it means to keep your guard up and your head down in a small town, where anyone - and everyone - might be watching. A twisty, gritty, GTO-driving thrill ride that's also full of heart, this book kept me guessing - and rooting for Sam and Harvey - until the very last page."
