There's Only One Sin in Hollywood (2026)
Rasheed Newson
"In Rasheed Newson's There's Only One Sin in Hollywood, inhumane history snares all lovelorn seekers, transforming fixers and actors into potent dreamers who frequent and abandon their fates with disastrous and extraordinary resolve. Propelled by a haunted jaunty narration that makes a lively case for the necessity of memory, There's Only One Sin in Hollywood illustrates and innervates the queer midcentury. This novel is an erotically-charged, violent masterpiece of love."

Summerhouse (2025)
Yiğit Karaahmet
"A gorgeous, thrilling tale of gay lovers celebrating their fortieth anniversary on an idyllic island when a handsome teenager moves next door. Beauty abounds in the world and prose, arresting the characters, and this reader too, as the forces of homophobia, desire, and jealousy conspire to alter our lives forever. Summerhouse is an unforgettable novel about the explosive nature of lust in a violent society."

Medusa of the Roses (2024)
Navid Sinaki
"Medusa of the Roses is a beautiful, fast-paced melodrama, a campy, queer reimagining of mid-century noir set in Iran, bloody and poetic in equal measure."
