Ren Hutchings recommends
The Demon Star (2026)
Jesse Aragon
"Jesse Aragon's thrilling and ambitious debut kicks down the door between genres, summoning an existential dread that skitters and crawls through the pages. The Demon Star is a horror-infused science fantasy with epic stakes, astonishing worldbuilding, a biting examination of religious trauma, and deeply incisive character work that flays open the story's emotional core."
Down in the Sea of Angels (2025)
Khan Wong
"Khan Wong brings past and future into intimate conversation with this thought-provoking and ultimately hopeful novel, weaving together three very different lives across time. Down in the Sea of Angels is a poignant exploration of the resilience of compassion, humanity's (re)connection with the earth, and the bright beacon of community in dark times."
Lady Eve's Last Con (2024)
Rebecca Fraimow
"Lady Eve's Last Con is the charming, space-hopping, queer rom-com of your dreams! Drop Ocean's 8 into Fhloston Paradise, stir in a quirky sapphic romance, sprinkle with a host of deliciously daring schemes and witty characters, and imbibe this glittering delight of a debut."
