Hungerstone (2025)
Kat Dunn
"An intoxicating and vivid take on the gothic novel. Sensual and vicious, Lenore's devastating story of self-discovery, betrayal and power feels like one for the ages."

The Legend of Meneka (2025)
(Divine Dancers Duology, book 1)
Kritika H Rao
"Sultry, powerful, and deeply felt, this is a wondrous tale of two lovers on opposing sides of a growing war between the human and the divine. Meneka is a driven and cunning protagonist who embodies all the strength of feminine intelligence and power, and I was entirely drawn into the world that Kritika H. Rao unravels out of ancient Indian myth and literature. Rao's writing is utterly compelling, and I believe she will continue to be a powerful figure in speculative fiction."

Extremophile (2024)
Ian Green
"A radical, explosive story full of wild hope and venomous rage. Its near future apocalypse is not just prescient and subversive, but full of life, love and thrill in a way that makes it only breaths away from the world we are now. Its voice is challenging, unrelenting, and veering between heartbreak and humour. I feel like this book was written for me, specifically, but I know it's for us. All of us. With its queer community, found family, the dilemmas of resistance and the agony of survival, Extremophile was a song to my soul and a punch in the gut. Read it."
