Daniel Kraus recommends

House of Bone and Rain (2024)
Gabino Iglesias
"Iglesias's relentless and overpowering novel comes on like a hurricane - of wind, of bullets, of blood, of hope - and you read it breathlessly, waiting for the eye of the storm."
thumb
Dear Hanna (2024)
(Hanna)
Zoje Stage
"Once you get inside the head of this suburban whirlpool of psychological madness, there is no escape until the shocking final pages."
thumb
Small Town Horror (2024)
Ronald Malfi
"This isn't only Malfi's masterpiece, it's a heroic swing at the Great American Novel, and will be nakedly terrifying to anyone who's been a kid-and to anyone who's grown up with regret. This is heavyweight horror, a total knockout."
